In Answer To: Am I gay?!?!?!?! NEED HELP ASAP (Jason D)

I went thorugh very much the same thing you did. I was very sexually attracted to girls when I was 12 and quite suddenly became attracted to guys at around age 13. This differs from most gay guys who state they recall being attracted to guys their entire lives.

In any event, I didn't realize that I was actually "gay" until I was about 15 or 16. Since puberty is a volatile time, I wouldn't rush to declaring yourself gay or straight as it's too early to tell. Give yourself time to sort your feelings out. It's really great that you'll be able to accept yourself whether gay or straight. That reveals a heatlhy and mature personality and I'll think you'll do fine regardless of your sexual orientation.
