I'm a girl, 18. Since I was like 14 I've had the feeling that I might be bi, but now I'm sure. However, I've never told anyone. Only my best friend knows about it (I told him I THOUGHT I was bi, I never told him I'm ACTUALLY bi), and he didn't mind.
When I'm with friends and they talk about sexuality, I always want to tell them I'm bi, but I never do, because I'm scared of their reaction.
It's like, I don't mind dating a boy or a girl. I think I can find phisical attraction in both, and also the things I look for in a person are the same independently of the gender.
Aditionally... I've never been with a girl, so I don't know if I can label (I know labels are wrong and blah, but whatever) myself as "bisexual" even though I like them as much as guys and I can easily imagine myself with a girl in a relationship and stuff. IS THIS NORMAL?

    It really doesn't matter. You don't have to tell anyone. Nor is it a dirty secret they should hold against you.

    Weird example, but you know peppers? Like red, green and yellow? And orange if you're that way inclined. Well, I like red the best, green second, and I have a thing where I don't think I like eating yellow peppers.

    So I have a set of preferences over what I enjoy (in terms of eating). Do you judge me for that? Does anyone? On the colour of a pepper? This example covers both racism and homophobia, by the way. ;)

    How should what I like to eat be judged in a separate way to what I like to do the wild thing with? In my example, the peppers are all peppers, just different colours. In your example, the people are all people, just different genders.

    People have some strange ideas and we still suffer them because people in power have those same strange ideas. Won't always be so, though. If you want to keep it quiet for now, fine. I honestly don't think your friends would judge you, though. People are often more progressive than their leaders are. We're just scared to stand up to leaders and say, "Shut up, you homophobic nutsack!"
