I am 15 years old and I think it’s stupid that people define themselves solely by their sexual orientation. I’m hetero, but that’s not all that defines me. I also happen to enjoy drawing and painting, I play eleven musical instruments, speak thirteen languages (just the basics), I read and write music,I’m the tallest girl in my grade, I have marched with the high school band an entire year earlier than most, I have two cats, I want to be an animator, and I sing like a dying animal. I’ll let you decide. What is the most noteable thing about me.

Jimmy — that’s just not fair! I am 14. I am bisexual. I KNOW what I’m feeling. I KNOW I’m not straight. Just because I am young doesn’t mean I woudn’t know what I AM. I am in love with a girl, but I have also had a boyfriend or two. I have never even felt what this girl gives me by just breathing than what my past boyfriend could ever do. She is the most amazing human being I’ve seen so far. I live in a VERY small rural area (34 people in my whole class). Coming out is impossible, friends oppose it, 3 pastors in my family including my dad. But saying I don’t know what I am feeling is like saying I don’t know my name, or my address, or what color my eyes are. I know what I am. I know that when this girl walks around a corner and I’m 4 feet away from her and my knees give out, I’m feeling SOMETHING. I know that when she sits beside me and I smell her perfume and start to sweat and shiver, I’m feeling SOMETHING. I know that when I watch her walk by my locker and lose balance, I’m feeling SOMETHING. I know that when I rush out of classes just to get to walk by her in the hallway and see if she notices me, I’m feeling SOMETHING. Now I’ve been in denial the past few months since I’ve spent time managing the softball team she plays on about my sexuality. But I know that what I feel is strong. Strong enough that when she goes to the National Guard this year and will never see me again (she isn’t a close friend) I will let her go, I won’t tell her my feelings before she leaves. I know it would hurt her. It would also hurt me to no end. I live in such a small area that EVERYONE in the whole dang county would be shunning me from existence. I cannot wait until I go to college. Because Jimmy — I know what I am feeling.

Ok. Jordan just explained to you that she is 1.) FIFTEEN!!! years old. and 2.) having “sex” with girls, while boys are watching. And you condone this 15 year old child doing this why??? SHE IS FIFTEEN YEARS OLD. SHE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT SHE IS YET!!! OR what her “preferences” are. SHE. IS. A. CHILD. End of file. I also believe that in the interest of stopping an innocent 15 year old girl from being raped by one of these clowns out here, that “maybe” this type of behavior should not be encouraged by people like you. Ya know? People like this treating 15 year olds as though they were adults, is why these kids expect to be treated that way, and consequently have no respect for adults. They are CHILDREN. Period.

I am a 17 year old girl. And just like the previous commenter (Bisexuality may be trendy,but it’s also real) I am truly bi. I have thought both guys and girls were cute since 2nd grade. If that’s not real I don’t know what is. I have a boyfriend, but I am also “allowed” to date girls. Yes, he thinks it is hot. No that is not why I am bi. I am just lucky enough to have found a guy who doesn’t get totally jealous and weird over it. I don’t care that he thinks it’s hot, but it is nice not to stress what he thinks.
Nobody but my boyfriend and the girls I have talked to and dated know I am bi. I am so not ready to come out. My parents don’t even know. If it was about attention, would I do that?
Not everyone who says they are bi is faking, and even if you think your child or friend is faking, try to not show it. If they are faking no reaction from you will make it go away sooner, if they are NOT faking they will always look back and remember you being supportive….actually…either way they’ll remember you being supportive. And that’s a good thing.

To all parents and all who inquires,
I am a 17 year old female, who is not faking. I’m not trying to be cool. I actually want to keep it a secret. On first impressions, I am labeled a good girl, because I try my best to do the right thing and I work hard in school. That’s who I am. Being raised catholic, I simply was in a state of denial untill about a year ago. I am bisexual . And will identify heterosexual to the general public because it’s none of their business. Being Bisexual might be trendy but it has been pegged as slutty, cool, sexy, and that’s not what I want to be defined by. Please keep an open mind if your teen tells you that they are not heterosexual, because as a parent you should love your child unconditionally. Let’s stop obsessing over sex. (excuse my grammar it’s 3am)

I am a mother of a 15 yr old girl, who last night told me she was bi???
I don’t believe her, she has been out with boys and only two days ago was chasing one who was 19. So today she’s bi……
I get sick of it, I have been through the whole spectrum with her, having boys sleep over, going to stay at all night parties, going to huge gigs with 50,000 people, doing her own gigs with no insurance, got drunk and gave that up, thank god…I will just sit this one out, I’m so over it…..the bad language, the lack of respect, the selfishness and the no contact, i pay for her iphone, she doesn’t even answer it when i ring….blah…blah…teenagers…..crap for parents that’s all it is

I’m 15 and a few of my friends have been claiming bisexuality, but they’re always with guys and never seem to have an interest for girls (my friends are girls.)

Since I was 11, I have been attempting to find my severe attraction to girls. I was scared to tell people because my best friend thought it was immoral.

Anyway, it offends me that it’s a “trend” for teens to say they’re bisexual when I’ve been ashamed of my bisexuality for years and trying to fight the feelings and my friends are just sort of throwing it around. It’s find to be proud, but they are painfully, obviously not bisexual. And everybody knows it.

I like girls a lot more than guys but I do like guys somewhat as well.

The bisexual trend is freaking insulting and I am personally offended.

My 14 year old daughter says she wants to spend Valentine’s Day with her girlfriend-She says she is bi-sexual and shouts it from the roof tops. I know my daughter to be a attention seeker and believe that is the reason behind her “bi-sexuality” I told her if she comes to me at a more mature age (20′s) I will be leading the parade but I don’t believe a 14 yr old knows what sexual orientation they are. My problem is I have tryed to explain my view but she is throwing a tantrum – I truly don’t know what to do – do I let her go on a date with this girl – I am trying to stay open but I am not comfortable condoning this behavior at her age. I don’t know what the right thing to do is- please I welcome your advice on how to handle this.

Hi Jasmine

I think you should try talking with her and getting to know her, just like you would with another boy.
