I dont want to be one because in the country where Im from it is not tolerated. However, ever since I was a little girl (im almost 19 now) ive always liked girls. I thought it was just a phase but I now realise that its not. I have probably liked 2 guys in my whole life. Lots of men like me and im really pretty but I have a weakness for women. Its scary because I know my parents would kill me if they found out.
I also find myself liking straight girls (at least I think so) in my country (Jamaica-we all know their take on homosexuality). I think they will probably hurt me if I tell them I like them. Im scared. What should I do?

From what I read about Jamaica, I'd really suggest moving if you value your life. There are safe places in the U.S. to move to. If you can't make it here, I hear Cuba is going to be setting up rights for LGBT citizens this year, probably as a slap on the face towards homophobic USA. Maybe stay in the closet until you hear more about that if that move might be easier.

It sounds like you are a lesbian.
Imagine that someone asked you what your sexual orientation was. If you said, "I'm gay," and felt confident and secure in that, then you are a lesbian. If you waffle a bit or are unsure, maybe your sexuality is not so cut and dried. I think very few people are 100 per cent straight or 100 per cent gay.
Keep in mind that gender is a natural occurence in our minds, regardless of where on the scale from Straight to Gay you sit. So there is nothing at all wrong or abnormal with what you feel.
Find out if there are gay clubs in your town, groups, or an online forum. Don't feel like you need to hide, but don't feel obligated to be open until you are ready either.

You are who you are. I'm a guy, I can very much say I'm not attracted to other guys at all. I'm QUITE attracted to girls though, 100% sure of that. It is who I am. If you are really attracted to girls, then that is just you.
I can understand your fear of course. Just because you are attracted to other women doesn't mean you have to tell others if it will put you at risk to the situation you are in. You're going to be you for a life time. Sit back and just think about it.

You are one. but, in my opinion, there nothing wrong with homosexuality. I cant tell you what to do, but what i would is come out to my parents, because every parent is supposed to have unconditional love for the child no matter what even though sometimes it may not seem like it
