Is this Denial or am I exaggerating?
Hey. I'm 14 and a girl. All of this started about 3 months ago. So this is what happened. I was on the computer when I had this great Idea and took a bunch of sexuality quizzes. I got straight for all of them. Except for the ones that were messed up. I retook them again. I was starting to get obsessed over them. Now I began to worry. I thought that seeing girls in bikinis and wanting to see more was bad. I asked my mom if she has ever felt like this, and she said "yes." Well, I would not listen so I would be trying to find the answers to my question by reading articles on the internet. In one of websites I visited (I do not remember which one) said that in order to find your sexuality you would need to compare a guy and a girl. So that's what I did. I compared a guy that I have always liked from my school and I girl in my class who I though was pretty! Well first I compared the guy. I got a warm good feeling in my stomach (I've liked him since 5th grade) and this girl. I did not feel anything towards her. To make sure I didn't feel anything I compared the boy with that girl again and again and again every day until now! (march 21-june22) everyday non-stop always thinking about it. When I was at school and I saw her I would feel like I needed to throw up. I would rush to the bathroom as fast as I could every time I saw her. Even when I would think of her. IDK why, but just could not see her or think of her. Well I got past over all that throwing up.... and now I'm worse!!! Crying everyday....thinking about it...I try not to think about it..but the thought just comes back...Is it normal to think the same sex is pretty, or looks good?...I'm scared!! I have also told myself...maybe I am bisexual? So then I'm like "ok so if I'm "now" bisexual I am going to think about that girl and probably like her." So I though about her..then I 'm like "but I do not feel that feeling when I'm in love with someone. I just think she is pretty." I'm calm for a While and the thoughts hit me again...I am not scarred about being called bisexual, but the only thing I'm scared about is me actually liking a girl!! So is this Denial or am I exaggerating?

exaggerating?+4There is nothing wrong with saying another girl is pretty. I do it all the time. If a girl is hot, I tell her she is. I've never been sexually attracted to a girl, or had romantic feelings for one though. I think you are obsessed with determining your sexuality. You're only 14, you have so much time to figure it out. Just because you think a girl is pretty doesn't mean you are bisexual or that you actually like her...


















You shouldn't mess with sex till you are ready to think about serious relationship issues - because like it or not my dear, when you have sex you have relationship issues.
14 is too young to even be worried about this crap. Be a teen, enjoy being young, leave sexuality for when you are fully developed (your brain continues to develop until you are 25) and get on with your life. Believe it or not, life is not all about sex.
PS. I'm a 53 year old grandma and I have always and do still find the female form very attractive. I'm not worried about my sexuality and neither should you be.
Its perfectly normal for a person of one gender to look at another of the same gender and think that person is pretty, handsome, attractive. Men aren't likely to admit it, but even guys do it.
It sounds like you might be interested in a girl. Ok? This is not a bad thing. Why not talk to a trusted advisor or counselor? Maybe you're interested in both sexes.
Finding someone attractive or pretty is probably just an appreciation of their physical appearance. Liking and lust are not the same thing.
(and I raised my children alone through their teen years)
You've got plenty of time ahead of you ..
seriously .. just take your time and don't even worry now overmuch about dating ..
(or attraction or anything OTHER Than your schoolwork and studies)
just enjoy being comfortable with your own talents, thoughts .. abilities ..
enjoy a hobby .. volunteer .. just enjoy being a young one at this time ..
There's too many hormones already doing their thing with your growth ..
just wait .. you'll sort it all out eventually ..
(don't rush the dating scene .. or even this 'labeling' of what you'll want in your life for companionship/relationships) ..
