    Hi! I've been wondering about myself for quite a while now and found this place, so I thought I would come and ask for help

    I've always thought and wondered if I was lesbian. I had thoughts about it way back, when I was little. But since I'm in a religious household, I kind of pushed them away because I thought they were bad. Nowadays I couldn't care less about that. When I look at a girl, I find myself wondering what it would be like to be in a relationship with them, or if they are lesbian (which is weird I know)

    I think the idea of being in a relationship with a guy is weird and awkward. All the girls at school have boyfriends, and it's like an expected thing. I've been asked what boys I have crushes on. During a school game where you draw slips out of a hat I once got the embarrassing question: "who's the hottest boy/girl in school"? What kind of question is that? I refused to answer it, because I really couldn't say anything without endless embarrassment.

    Jokingly, my little sister once asked my mom if she was lesbian (my sister thinks random questions are funny) and my mom replied, "Ew, no!" This answer made my heart ache.

    And then, let's not forget that one douchebag senior at school who is racist and homophobic. He sits at our table and constantly makes racist comments and makes fun of a kid at another table for being gay. I want to tell him off but can't bring myself to.

    Anyway, I'm just confused. And kind of terrified of my family.:help:

    Hi Cipher, welcome to EmptyClosets!

    I think you'll find you've come to the right place for help. If you're still questoning, maybe you'll want to have a look at the threads in Sexual and Romantic Orientation, or post your own. Don't worry about being confused -- that's pretty common around here!
