bisexual in the closet

[pennylane]

Hi,
I'm a 16 year old female who's secretly bisexual, no one knows not even my best friend or phychologist. I'm afraid of what will happen if ppl find out but I also feel as though I'm living a lie, what do i do?

I'm not bisexual, but from my point of view you should not worry to much, in this days people are more open to accept the sexuality of other people. Yeah, some people may raise an eyebrow, and some others look shocked at the beginning when you tell them, but your true friends will accept you
and stand by your side regardless of your sexual preference, because they will understand that you are the same nice person.
If you take some time to read, you will find that there are many bi people here in the forum, and they all enjoy sex the same way as any other people.
Well i hope they can give you a better answer. C ya

by the way, have you seen a movie called "Kissing Jessica Stain"?.

Hi Penny:
If you are seeing a psychologist, you should talk to him/her about this. Repressing feelings are NEVER a good thing.

You need to talk to someone who can listen and help you explore your feelings.

When you say you're secretly bisexual, does that mean you HAVE been with women before or it's something you feel inside?

I have been actively bisexual more than half my life. I am not open about this but I am certain that there is some awareness among family, co-workers and, even, some patients. Be pleased to know that female bisexuality is more common and more accepted than you think. Talk to your thereapist; she can give more specifics.

Hi there
I am not bisexual, however I have many friends that are bisexual or homosexual, and I have been active in GSA (Gay/Straight Alliance). I am sorry that you feel afraid to tell the people that you are close to that you are bisexual. In today's society, yes, some people are still going to not be cool with that idea...but people are going to not be cool with pretty much everything out there. I hope that you can find the strength to talk to someone about this. That will probably make you feel a lot better about it. Talking to your psychologist will probably be very helpful, since that should be confidential. Then you can work up the courage to tell your family, who can help you out emotionally a lot. I hope that things work out for you. Just remember that you don't have to please everyone, just make sure that you are happy and comfortable with how your life is going.

Thank you very much to everyone who replyied to my post, it gave me the strength to tell someone, and now a huge weight has been lifted, I told my best friend and she replied with the most un-expected answer and that was the she was also bi and had had 2 girl/girl relationships. Our whole big conversation ended with a sexy-pash !!!

Thanks again

Penny

Pennylane, good for you. I have been openly bi since I was 14. It never occured to me to hide it, but I understand certain things can get in the way. So glad you told some one tho. Theres nothing to be ashamed of, be proud of yourself for embracing your feelings.

Hmm i know how you feel the thing is my parents accept it. I would say tell it to you phychologist and you and her/him can tlak about it. Also when you are so young you don't completely know your sexual preferences until you are much older. So stop being so hard on yourself. Accept it and the feelings and see where it goes from there.

yeah, which doesn't go for male bisexuality tough as I fear.

[demonbuttercup]

yeah but w/ things like Girls Gone Wild..etc.
girls kissing girls is the "cool" thing to do while you're drunk at mardi gras.
