I think i'm lesbian?

The past year,I've gotten many new friends and have seen many different ways of living (I went to a very strict charter school with not many people my age). Now that I've seen what the LGBTQ community is kind of like, I think I might be Lesbian, but I don't know. I've always thought "a man and a woman get married" so I've only really had crushes on boys, but I never acted on many of them because it didn't feel right. I guess I'm scared of not being accepted by my friends and family. I don't know...

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    It's okay. It takes time to find out your true feelings. But you don't have to decide anything now or even label yourself for that matter. :)

    It takes a long time to truly figure out who you are, and if you've had crushes on boys before but now you like girls, then that's perfectly fine. People change their mind over time and attraction changes with that.

    Have you ever had a crush on a friend that's a girl/woman in your life? If you look back can you remember any feelings you may have had towards a girl? Discovering your sexuality can be very daunting but don't worry, there's no rush just give yourself time to figure it out. This is concerning you not your friends and family, I wouldn't worry about it until you figure it out yourself and have more of a clearer picture. You'll be surprised how accepting people are getting nowadays, and if you've thought this for a while sometimes the people closest to you already have an idea or sense of this sort of thing. :)

    • I've had a crush on my best girlfriend, but never asked her out because I didn't want to ruin our friendship. And when I was in the girls' locker room, I would often find myself staring at some of the other girls lustfully.

        Sometimes it happens. Try to explore your preference and feelings about girls and boys separately. If you still stare at girls "lustfully", go ahead a bit. Sooner you will get satisfactory answer.

    You have plenty of time to figure things out. Do what makes you happy just as long as you aren't hurting yourself or anyone else.
