Actually I could just look at a girl’s body figure and get very exciting.<\/p>\n
I think I am attracted more to girls than to boys but I still love the two.<\/p>\n
I think that something is wrong with me. I have been like this from primary school at the age of 9 while I was in grade 5 and now I am attending college.<\/p>\n
I actually had intimate encounters with girls during break and also. I do not know but I have this serious problem cause I am actually writing this and i am shivering.<\/p>\n
I would like you to help me with this situation.<\/p>\n
Concerned<\/strong><\/p>\n ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..<\/p>\n Dear Concerned,<\/p>\n Determining your sexuality can be highly confusing. Teenagers often feel a lot of pressure to choose to define themselves as being heterosexual or homosexual. You might feel that you do not fit either of these categories, and you may notice that you are ‘turned on’ and have sexual feelings about people of your own gender and another gender.<\/p>\n Coming to terms with your own sexuality can be very difficult. In fact, the hardest person you may ever have to tell is yourself! Only tell others when you feel you are ready. It’s not always easy. Some people might be very receptive, while others might not be able to handle the information as well as you had hoped they would. Reaching out can help ensure you have support as you talk about your sexuality. You might be surprised at the relief you will feel when you know others understand you.<\/p>\n This is a time of a lot of changes in your entire life, so don’t jump to conclusions. Take your time and you will eventually discover the true nature of your sexuality.<\/p>\n Bella<\/strong><\/p>\n Have a problem? Write to Dear Bella at dominicanewsonline@gmail.com.

\nSometimes it might be easier to talk about your sexuality with someone you know will understand, such as a friend, sibling, parent, guidance counselor or other trusted adult. You may also find someone to talk with through the Internet or at youth groups.<\/p>\n
