My Sexuality? Um... confused...

I've been dealing with this for a long time. I am 14 and a boy. I am so confused about my sexual orientation. I don't know whether I'm straight, gay or bi. I have no where, and no one to talk to about this. My friends all pretty much joke about this too much, as if they disapprove of it so I can't talk to them. My family can deal with it but from experience, I learned that they talk about it badly behind the person's back.

I know, experiment right. Well I don't want to do it with anyone of my friends, or family, or anyone who knows them to find out. Also, I am a Catholic and I somewhat take my religion to heart so I'm scared of actually trying anything. I really have no idea what to do. How do I find out what I am? Who am I?

Good =3 you know to experiment, it's theo nly way of knowing, no matter what. You have to experiment to find out, if you don't like boys, then yay you. If you do, then yay you too. ^.^
And I know, religion is important to you people and all that, but you shouldn't have to hate yourself just because of your religion. If you do turn out bi or gay, then it's ok. I'm sure god will forgive you.
Have you ever seen the movie, "Prayers for Bobby"? you should watch it ^.^

I'm Catholic too. To be honest, I'm not sure what you can do. Find where your feelings belong. Where your attractions go to. A boy. A girl. Both. Just don't take it too far ;D

I don't think that really helped though...

My advice to you is take your time and listen to your heart.

I'm a Catholic also, and I remember having
this talk with my mom about my sexual orientation- she
thankfully is a very open minded woman, but I wasn't
questioning myself, it was just one of those 'talks'
and like she and my sister say: "The only way to know is to
test the waters" So experimenting is the sure way to do it basically----- and the best advice I can give you is if you do
end up talking to one of your friends about your situation- don't hint that it's you, say that one of your friends isn't
sure about their sexual orientation - and are having alot
of anxiety about it -because experimenting for that person is almost out of the question
due to their situation and they don't know what to do, and you
aren't sure what to tell them so you want to seek
the opinion of someone else-
Maybe go from there, and I wish you the best.


Oh, and another thing~ if you are gay/ bi and you decide to make
it known to your friends, some of them might leave you
because of their.... judemental opinions, or their 'ignorance' but you will have friends who support you- and it's that moment
that you'll know who your true friends are.. and you never
know- one of them might be in the same situation as you.
