[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 12 year old daughter told me about a girl her age who came out as bisexual at school today.  I should mention that this girl happens to have a boyfriend.  If this girl had come out as a Lesbian I wouldn't have a problem, but something about a 12 year old with a boyfriend feeling the need to publicly declare herself as bisexual seems wrong to me.

Op, I am with you. [b] Too young for this type of experimentation. [/b] It seems as though a lot of frustrated women who didn't experiment in their lives and now regret it, are guiding this thought process.  What a shame, I wish they would just let these kids be kids.  Can't put the toothpaste back in the tube now, so sad.[/quote]

Experimentation? [b]What's she experimenting with?[/b] I thought Scott Baio was pretty cute when I was 12. I (a girl) didn't have a poster in my locker, but my friend (a girl) did. Were we experimenting, and if so, what were we experimenting with?[/quote]

NP. Primarily, various identities. If you know anything about middle schoolers (which I question in the case of many of these posters), you know that they are vulnerable, insecure and wildly (over) confident - often at the same time. They are suddenly and keenly aware of the various roads that lie ahead of them, and the many paths that they can follow. One day they can shock - shock - their parents for fun; the next day, they want to curl up with you on the couch. One week they "identify with" the smart kids, the next week its the jocks.

All of this is normal and healthy. What is not is perverse, sick adults who insist on making this normal curiosity about sexuality, and giving them the OK to "try out" paths that will ultimately lead them to despair and misery.[/quote]

I think you mean sick adults who try to foist their crazy, warped religious morality (which, in my experience is the thing that leads to despair and misery) on perfectly normal kids.  Keep your craziness to yourself lady.  We're all doing fine without it.  [/quote]

Your experience, though sad is not at all universal. Thankfully. [/quote]
