I'm a bisexual

I'm a girl. I like girls, but I also like boys. I'm only 16, but still.
My friend is a bisexual to, and she figured it out when she was a lot younger then I am now, so I guess it's for real. I am a bisexual. This is the first time I written about it, actually it's the first time I've even said it to myself. I don't want to like girls, cause I'm a traditional girl, most of the times. I've always pictured myself with a husband and two little kids, a girl and a boy. But now all of that may change, because I don't know if I'll end up with a girl or a boy. I guess I could bottle the bisexuallity up, and just lie about it. I can act straight. I've acted straight for the last six months, I can do it for the next 60 years to.

you're only 16, chances are this may change. Lots of things I thought at 16 are different now.

A lot of people will tell you this is "a phase" because of your age, but don't let them distract you. I happen to think human sexuality does shift over time, but that doesn't at all invalidate what you're feeling or thinking right now. Stay true to yourself and don't forget there's a huge support community out there of folks who are straight allies. Sincerely, Another bisexual :)

Don't sweat it. If you're bi, what's stopping you from living happily ever after? If you ask me, you've got it easy. You can fall in love with ANYONE. Literally. You can still have a husband and two kids, or you could have a wife and two kids. You can have a boyfriend or a girlfriend. Aside from issues that you might have to deal with your family or your own personal feelings I don't see any problems.

my girlfriend is 17, she like you found out she was attracted to girls as well as
guys a couple years ago. she has had her fair shair of sex with both sexes. she
finds girls special in a weird way. she likes that they are not boys... obviously
i am a guy and even i can tell you guys are assholes. anyways she found me, and
i found her, we are in love. she said the same thing could have happened with a
girl, but she found me, a guy that isnt like most guys. anyways i think you shouldnt
worry about it. you can either lie to ppl if they ask, or tell em the truth its
up to you. stay free, and totally feel free to expiriment with girls and guys.

hey -- like the person above said, don't get put off by these people saying "you'll figure it out later," they just like putting down teenagers (and bi ppl). of course you have lots of time to figure things out and there's no pressure to "pick a label" right now, but only YOU get to decide who you are. if you've decided, nothing anyone else says, including "you're too young" or "you'll understand more when you're older" should make any difference. best of luck to you. unfortunately there's a lot of biphobia among both straight people and gay people (who might pressure you to "pick a side" -- just ignore them) but like others have mentioned, stay free and don't be afraid to ask for support from other ppl.

oh yeah, one other thing -- i'm bi, but i only want to be with one person at a time. even if i married someone of the same gender, or a different gender, tomorrow, that doesn't make me "less" bi. just like saying you're attracted to people who have blond hair and brown hair doesn't mean when you start dating a blond you might start cheating on them with a brunette. a lot of people seem to think bi ppl can't be with one person "forever" but that's silly, as anyone who compares it to hair color or eye color will realize :)

It's amazing how everyone shares advice that they're not sure of..

It's even more amazing that some people will voice their opinion, even though it is in no way helpful and obviously not very well thought out. No one can "be sure of" advice when it comes to a topic like this. How can anyone know the exact situation that another person is in? More to the point, how can anyone ever be "sure" that the advice they offer is 100% perfect for the person who needs it. All we can do is try to listen, and try to help. Is there something wrong with that?

Jesus! Stop hijacking other peoples threads I've seen you do this three times now. Post a comment pertaining to the topic or don't at all. Anyway, to the OP; there are many stigmas that revolve around bi-sexuals. Don't let it get you down. Always be true to yourself and to others. Honesty will always play a large part in any relationship.

As a bi girl who found out around your age, I say just chillax. You don't need a label to know when you feel right with someone. And you don't need a man to have children. You could adopt, or be artificially inseminated. But those kinds of things are usually for later. First, you have to find the one you want to be with :P

I have wanted children since before I realized I liked girls, and it never stopped me from thinking that one day I might settle down with a woman. Of course, I am settled with a man, and some people might think I'm an idiot and not know what I'm talking about, but it doesn't change how I feel, how I felt, or who I am.

And don't let anyone tell you what to do. :)

Well, I haven't told my parents yet, but I told my bestfriend. You should definitly tell somebody that you trust. You feel great after when you know that somebody else knows. :)
