Is it normal to be sexually confused at 17?
I am a 17 year old guy. I have been asking questions about my sexuality for almost a year now and I was wondering, is it normal to be sexually confused at 17? I was thinking that most kids my age are almost adults and should have a clear mind on things? I don't know why, but the idea of being sexually confused bothers me. I just want to have a label and be that. I know sexuality isn't a choice but I'm not sure if I am gay or bi. In other words, I am not sure if I like girls or not. I defiantly know I am not straight and I defiantly know I like men, but I can't seem to think if I like girls or not. I've been struggling with my sexuality or the idea of me being gay since 6th grade. I am a senior in high school now. That was about 6 years ago. So 6 years I have been struggling whether or not I am gay or bi. As a little kid, I always knew I was different (I knew that I wasn't straight in a way). I just couldn't wrap my finger around it. A lot of people tell me I am gay and am just having a hard time accepting it, but I am not sure if that's the case. Not to mention, I am somewhat feminine and just the way I acted and how I was as a kid, says I am gay. But I am not sure. Is it normal to be confused at this age? I just wish sexuality was something that was set in stone if you know what I mean. Any help?
Is it normal to be confused about sexuality at 16?
It is VERY VERY normal to be confused about a great many things at age 16... don't even worry about it, ok? Look,16 is close to that age where everything is starting to change. Boys and girls alike... Hormones rage, circumstances change, don't even worry about it! It's a natural part of growing up. I can GUARANTEE you aren't the only 16 year old who feels this way. Tons of others do as well, and in fact, overcoming this confusion, and actually discovering its roots can lead to a lot more happiness down the road. Lots of kids are told by thier parents that questioning sexuality is wrong, and just press gay or straight ideals on them. When those same kids discover later in life that that isn't what makes them happy, it leads to a $#!T- Load of problems and unhappiness. Don't even worry about it, ok.. its very normal and actually a good sign to be confused about dang near everything at this stage of your life.It lets YOU find out for YOU what makes you happy. It will pass, and you will learn more about yourself as an individual, don't you worry about it.

Is it normal to be confused about your sexuality at 16?
I went through the same thing. Basically, make the final decision for yourself, don't listen to others saying it's a "phase" or other terms related... It isn't a phase, it's your life. And you are different from every other person. You will come to terms with whatever this is when you are ready.
