well, ifyou find yourself attracted less to the opposite sex and more to the same, then you should seriously think about it. and also dont be afraid of what your parents or other people will say... if that is how you feel, then dont be bothered by anyone else. Plus there is the chance that you could be bi if you are really torn.

You don't simply decide to be gay, but you have to decide to accept it. First, however, you have to know for sure that you really are.
Steps:
1. Think back to your earliest memories. If you feel as though you've always been different, you might be gay - but not all gay people felt that way.
2. Ignore the stereotypes. If you have some mannerisms that aren't usually associated with your gender, you aren't necessarily gay. The opposite is also true: not fitting the stereotypes doesn't mean you aren't gay.
3. Understand that "gay" and "straight" is not all there is. Research done by Kinsey decades ago showed that some people have desires exclusively for members of the same sex and others have feelings exclusively for the opposite sex, but many people are somewhere in between.
4. Consider whether you really feel as though you are or should be a member of the opposite sex. If so, you may be transgendered, which is not the same as being gay.
5. Examine your deepest feelings closely. It's perfectly normal for people - especially teenagers - to have a crush on someone of the same sex or to notice the attractiveness of someone of the same sex, but that doesn't mean you're gay unless your desires for the same sex are stronger than your desires for the opposite sex.
6. Try not to let society cloud your judgment about whether you're gay. Remember that both the American Psychological Association and the American Psychiatric Association said in the 1970s that nothing is wrong with being gay or lesbian.
Tips:
Labeling yourself isn't really necessary at all. It's important to be happy and perhaps to find someone to be happy with, but you don't have to accept any one label - and all the baggage that goes along with it.
Take your time in deciding where you fall on the sexual orientation continuum. What's the rush?
And remember, if you aren't happy in the kinds of relationships you've tried, you may - or may not - be happier if you try other kinds of relationships. Happiness is not always associated only with the sex of the person you're with.

For girls I swear it is different. Girls always seem to have urges where guys don't. I think it is in the upbringing. Dudes have gym teachers who teach you that it is bad and so does society. But girls have gym teachers who ARE gay and even have been known to take a peek or two (so I've heard). So in college I would say around 75% of girls have an "experience" with another girl. And the majority have another after that. Then some continue and others just leave it at that! There are definitely more girls who are "bi" then dudes. So if anything, unless you look at a penis and say "GROSS", you are probably bi or just curious.
Another thing about girls is even if they ARE gay what do they use to "get off"? Thats right a fake penis. Dudes? Not a fake vagina but once again a penis. So it is easier for girls to be "bi"!

From you picture it looks like you are a girl.
Here is a very unscientific test.
Look at your nails. Did you spread your fingers out so you were looking at the back of your hand with outstretched fingers? If so, you have feminine traits.
Another very unscientific test.
You come home from work/school and find the Publishers Clearing House folks on your doorstep with a check for a million dollars. What do you say? If you say Oh My G-d you are a girl.
Obviously these questions are pandering to the stereotypical notions of how straight and gay people act, and should not be taken seriously.

Lots of people at some point asked the same question. At present times it's so common so it's can confuse anyone even if not a gay.
