i think SomeoneLoveMe gave you very good advice. It really can be confusing to determine what sexual orientation you are, but i guess the thing is, why rush to label yourself. It only really matters if you are going to tell people what you are, but really if you think about it, what matters is who are you attracted to. Not what gender they are, but who is the person. As SomeoneLoveMe said, you might be Bisexual, or a Lesbian, or you may be heterosexual. The thing that matters is finding the individual you are attracted to. This year in school, we were doing a bit about heterosexuality versus homosexuality, and it is intersting because there is this guy, Keirsey i think it was, who theorized that all people are a little of both and that few people are fully homosexual or fully heterosexual. All this reemphisizes though is that it is important to find the person you are attracted to and want to be with, not the gender. If you wish to talk further, you can always message me. i hope things work out for yu.

I know it must be a confusing time for you.  Obviously, it's impossible for anyone here to tell you if you're a lesbian or not, that's something that you have to work out for yourself.  And there's probably no easy answer, other than to be true to yourself and never be ashamed of who you are.

You're still quite young, so there's no massive rush to have to label yourself now.  You need to spend some time thinking about how you're feeling, and as best you can, try and work out who you're actually attracted to.  Is it boys or is it girls?  And then, you will have a better idea.

Some people find they're attracted to both, which is fine.  I know you wish you could maybe press a button and you're told which one you are, but it can't happen that way.  You have to work through your emotions and then come to a sort of decision based on how you feel.  You might get it wrong.  And you might date someone, and it doesn't work out.  But that's ok.  Life is about making the best judgement you can, and if you get it wrong, you change your path, and get out there again.

I notice you're not a member here, it would be an idea for you to join up, as there are many members who would be glad to talk and listen, and maybe by talking through your feelings and explaining what you're thinking, they can help you decide or throw a few idea's or opinions in to help.  It's free to join here, so it's worth a go.

Just don't rush any decision, take your time and I'm sure eventually, it will be clear who you're attracted to, and how you can go about establishing yourself.  I wish you all the best of luck, and remember, it's always helpful to talk
