Hi Wyatt.
I saw your posting by accident (honestly) while posting a question of my own on a completely different topic (Motoring).
Gawd knows how I got to yours!
This is a very difficult topic to reply to without knowing you.
My first reactions are:
ALL guys are biologically bi-sexual as it is a natural tendency. The PROBLEM is that we are all taught from birth that it is wrong and evil, and that we should all conform to what is commonly accepted as "the norm" whatever THAT is supposed to be.
That is a complete load of bollocks!
What I would like you to do please, if you will, is to visit my website www.putyourselfinmyhands.co.uk and read what is written on the HOME page. Have a poke around in the "ASK LAURIE" section as well.
When you have read some of my ramblings please feel free to contact me either by landline or e-mail so that I can give you any specific advice you need.
There will not be any charge for this service. :-)
Be good!
Cheers.
Laurie.

My son told me he was gay earlier this year. We had wondered what was troubling him for many years and it was such a relief to find out this was the problem. It was no problem to us, but of course i worry about the reaction he will get from other people.
His friends love him for who he is not who he chooses to sleep with and I would have expected him to turn his back on us if we had reacted negatively to this news.
I would urge you to live your life for yourself and also be true to yourself. Good luck young man.

I don't think you need to tell.

You may find youself in a long term heterosexual relationship and nobody would ever know anyway.
If you find someone of the same as you then deal with it then.

Hi again.
OK so you are female. What's different? Same rules apply. We are all human beings!
For some strange reason (unknown to me) same-sex attraction between females is more acceptable, particularly to guys, than is between fellas! Life is strange ain't it?
My view is still the same though, although as you are female your feelings towards people of your own sex may well be stronger than with guys DURING YOUR 'TEENS.
There are many hormone changes taking place inside people's bodies during the teeny-years so it ain't surprising that you may be slightly confused about which direction you want to take.
My best advice at the moment is that you just stick with your present feelings for as long as you want to.
Give it a few years and you will know which direction you want to take.
As other contributors have already said, it's your life so you are quite entitled to do as you please.
If friends etc don't like you as the person they already know, they are not true friends!
You can still contact me if you want to talk anything through on a 1 to1 basis.
Stay good!
Cheers.
Laurie.
