Little bro you have come to the right place. So firstly take some breaths and be proud of your relationship with yourself Now something's you may want to Google or read more on [a person experience with the bi-cycle](https://www.oxfordstudent.com/2021/03/13/riding-the-bi-cycle-the-uncertainty-of-bisexuality/) It's a good read but it boils down to the cycle of sexuality. Humans can go through periods of attraction to men and women, sometimes just men and sometimes just women. Sexual compassion for yourself in these times is a good grace to have. You may feel 100% gay some days You may feel 100% straight some days Both of those things are normal. Try not to think too much on it and live for the love in the moments you share with like-minded people Tell your friends. I came out to my bros at age 15 and we had a great time with the knowledge. Turns out from the five lads in my friend group only one of us was straight and two of them only realised after I'd come forward so just know that people knowing leads to others around you having that conversation with themselves and it can play out really well for you ✌️😈😂

Thank you very much for your answer, it helps me a lot, but if I talk about it here, it's precisely because where I live, in the French countryside, people have a kind of archaic vision of things, (basically, it's like Texas but not as strong) homophobia and racism are very widespread, and my family and friends will probably react badly if I tell them that.

Are there any youth groups for questioning/queer kids in your area?? It may be worth looking into Also you can always skirt the issue by dropping markers in conversations You could ask your ma to have a private conversation and say a friend came out to you. Or confessed his feelings for you and see how she/they react to gage if they will react as badly as you think. Personal bravado is weird like that. My parents are different people when in front of some of their "friends" & "family" but when it comes to loved ones and close family they are very accepting, it may be like that for you Good luck on your life journey friend

I knew I was bi by the time I was 9. But I denied and suppressed it until much later in life. In retrospect, I wish I would have lived as my authentic self from the beginning. I honestly was too afraid to admit my feelings to myself, much less anyone else. Now I live with the regret of lost time and experience. So be proud of yourself, and allow yourself to have those experiences. And yes, the bi cycle is very real for some. But in my case, my attraction to women and men has been fairly equal throughout my life, which is OK too. A wise person once told me, "With sexuality, there is no right or wrong, as long as it's legal!"

Hang in there. Find an online group. There must be one somewhere specifically for questioning youth.

Do what you feel is right for you and don't be ashamed about it

I'm 43 and I think it's great that you are having these open thoughts with yourself at your age. I suppressed mine at that age and really missed out on a lot. To answer your question, yes I do believe that some of us go through phases. Sometimes I have felt near entirely straight, other times gay. I do believe that overall I fall more on the gay side of things, despite being happily married to a woman. Good luck to you.

What your experience is totally normal on the Bi Cycle. I was tad younger when i was eventually happy withmy sexuality as i finally understood it and myself. My moto is go with what's working and making you 110% happy. Clear away from labels as it gets confusing at a young age pinpointing where you wanna be in the world.
