[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's ok to have a crush on a girl. It's ok to later want to keep dating girls, or date boys, or go back and forth.  You know your parents better than we do, so you know what it's safe and comfortable to tell them.  I don't think kids need to tell their parents about crushes.  If you think your parent will give good advice, you can tell them.  Don't rush into things. Be safe. I wish you all the best.

I have a similar experience, although my parents were more accepting from the beginning. I second this advice. If kids at your school are very homophobic, you can decide to stay in the closet until you get to college.  If you come out to a trusted friend who goes to the same school, be prepared for him/her to be unable to keep quiet about it.  There are a lot off LGBT youth support groups so you can find an outlet if your school environment is not so great.  I had a rough couple of years of high school, and am now happily married to another woman and we have a kid.  I think butterflies and daydreaming about girls is a pretty strong indication that you're not straight.  That said, you may find later that some guys turn you on.  When you're older and ready to date, don't settle for anyone who doesn't treat you well. [/quote]
