    Hello there, :slight_smile: I'm 15, almost 16 years old, and have come to terms with the fact that I am not straight. I would tick the 'questioning' box, but I am almost certain I am bisexual. Some may 'put the blame' on my lack of male role models in my life, but I have now accepted that it is just the way I am. I had been telling myself I was straight for too many years now, holding my feelings back.
    I see myself in a year going to college (here in England) and having a girlfriend. That is what made me sit back and think about this, what I really want, and who I am. At first, like many other people, I started to hate myself for who I was. But then I realised, I am who I am and I'm happy with that.
    I recently broke up with my boyfriend, it just didn't feel right. He was lovely to me, but something still didn't feel right. I feel extremely bad for ending it with him after three weeks, but I knew that I couldn't be with him with this all going through my mind. This is what makes me think that I am lesbian, because I just can't see myself being with another guy emotionally. Physically, yes, but not emotionally. I need some help... :icon_redf
    I'm out to one of my close friends.
    Anyways, enough with my story. I would love to chat to you guys sometime, as we're all in the same boat, and I wonder whether some people my age are going through the same things as me.
    Thank you, lots of love, Laura xxx

    Welcome to Empty Closets!! :smilewave

    Perhaps you're homoflexible?

    An attraction to both sexes but mostly attracted to those of the same sex?

    Just a thought.... :slight_smile:

    You sound very confused and i can relate entirely, I am 17... i am kinda in the same situation revolving sexuality, gender is a whole other story but i guess i am bi.. but i have not told anyone really about much except my younger sis who is 15 and she is very accepting with it. I knew i could tell her i am so worried about telling my friends everything. Anyway i would like to talk sometime.. [​IMG]

    Hello and welcome to EC! I'm 16 but our situations seem to differ quite a bit. I am also completely closeted so I have no idea what being out to anyone is like. However, you do seem nice and I hope to see you around and maybe chat sometime.

    Hi guys , reading your story I can relay very much . you are lucky to address this now. For me it was different. I knew it but was so afraid to tell any one . I grow up in Iran and there you don't tell any one. My life was not easy immigrating to a new country. So I kept ignoring it . I even started hating myself, labeling myself.Now though I m like fuck it . This is who I am , Bisexual or lesbian I dont know . But I m gonna find out
