[quote=Anonymous]Okay, I know I'm not exactly supposed to be on here, since I'm not parent, but I just want to get some input.

I've been trying to figure out my sexuality for a little over a year now. It all started when I saw a girl at my school who was just...attractive. Yeah, I see girls and think they're pretty all the time, but this one was different. She gave me that butterfly feeling. I tried telling my mom, but I panicked and it didn't work out. I told myself I was straight, and even though I still had feelings for that girl on the bus, I desperately tried to ignore them. They ended up fading.

Then came the other girl. Sometimes I saw her wearing a shirt with a TV show character or musician that I liked, and sometimes she would tell me she liked my shirt when I was in the lunch line. She just seemed so nice, and my favorite part of the day was lunch, since she was in the same lunch as me. At first, I just wanted to be her friend, but then it developed. My heart would beat a little bit faster every time I saw her in the hall. I actually looked forward to PE, my least favorite class, because she was there. School has ended but I still think about her sometimes. She's a year ahead of me, so she's going into high school, but at least it's the same one I'm going to in ninth grade.

See, it's never been like that with boys. Yeah, I had crushes on them, but it was mostly because of the fact that I felt like I HAD to like boys - so I chose who I thought was 'good looking.' Most of the crushes faded after a few months.

When I think about my future, I want to spend it with another girl, maybe even raising a kid. I know it's a little early to think about this, but I love thinking about the future.

The only thing that makes me nervous is that so many people in Virginia are against LGBT+ people. It makes me sad to know that so many people can't accept the fact that love is love no matter who you love.

I don't know if anyone in my family can tell that I'm somewhat gay, even though I'm fiercely protective of LGBT+ people everywhere and will go on and on about the importance of gay rights.

Please help me feel comfortable, and try and figure out my sexuality. Am I really queer? Or am I straight? [/quote]
