I am a 15 year old female and I am sure that I am a bi-sexual.
I have been thinking this since I was 12, but I have not mentioned this to any one yet because I am afraid of what other people might say about me or whether all of my friends will turn against me [because these kind of things freak them out].
Is 15 too young an age to tell people, and if it is how old should I be before I tell anyone?

it's good to know that i'm not the only one going through this. i'm also 15 & kinda know since i was 11.
i'm attracted to both female & male. but i would choose female over male anyday. boys are just emotionally retarted.
we're still teenagers so no label yet. just wait a few years more ok. to know exactly what we want. i'm a bit confuse right now. i won't label myself until i know for sure.
there's no too young or too old. u tell them when ur ready. & if they don't accept u for that, it's their lost.

The only time to come out is when it will make a difference in their lives. If you have no intention with starting a relationship with a female at this time then you will gain nothing by telling others that you are bi. If you tell them and get a boyfriend you will be bombarded with people telling you that you are straight and it was just a phase. Most people don't care about other people's sexual orientation, only tell them when they would need to know.

There is no age limit. You come out when you feel secure in doing so and you're sure you are ready to handle people's reactions and things along those lines. If you feel the need for protection agianst what your friends say then I wouldn't come out to everyone just yet. Start out with your closest friend or someone you can trust to keep it a secret until your ready. Then tell one more person and so on. You don't have to throw yourself to the lions just yet. Ease into it. The important thing is that you feel in control and safe. Good luck hun!!!!

Ahh the age old belief that there is not such thing as a homosexual teenager, it's always a phase you know?
Coming out is a big thing do it when you feel ready and you feel you will be able to cope with peoples reacting and are strong enough to take the backlash (there will always be some).
The truth of the matter is you will never be able to cope completely I have been out for lets just say many years (don't want to give my age away) and people still say things that hurt. Just wait untill you are happy enough with yourself to let the majority of the comments pass you by!
You will know yourself if you are ready and asking this question shows, to me that is, that you are not quite there yet!
To your own self be true

What age you come out really depends on how the people you know will accept you once you do. Apparently, your friends will be freaked out by this so coming out in front of them might not be a great idea. As I have no idea how your parents will take it, if they're known to be accepting then tell them rigt now (but make them promise not to tell your friends [or at least not yet]) If they aren't, then wait 'til you're 18.

Do not "tell" anyone. Live your life as you see fit. People will not take kindly to you and especially at 15 the world can be a tough place. If you find some one of like mind, have a blast, but there is no "need" to come out.

You are never too young to tell someone how you feel. Telling someone may help you work through and deal with your feelings. However, you are at an age where your hormones are racing, and you may not be sure what you feel. I knew I was a lesbian at your age, however at that age, I could not have absolutely labeled myself.
Find someone to talk to. A friend, family member, or use this as an anonymous outlet (yahoo answers I mean).

I would advise that you wait until you are 18 to really come out to your parents and such, that way if they kick you out, you are able to support yourself. If you're just talking about friends, and you have supportive parents, then come out when you're ready and tell one friend at a time hon. Also, think long and hard about this, because you could change your mind in a couple of years, or you could just be gay. Only time will tell...good luck!

My friend came out as a lesbian when she was 16. However, her family does not know because they would not support her. I think you should be open to yourself at any age. Not everyone will support you, but the people who love you will. You are still you, no matter what. Love yourself. Good luck!

no its not too young,though take it from a bi person,people can be very mean about this so come slow when telling someone, and sometimes people you think you can trust can turn against you.but this isnt always true.i know manny people for it and dont care, they like me fore who i am. so,please be causious want people like us to be safe.your not really"coming out" your bi.you like both but you havent come all the way out.so coming out isnt the issue,its how yo let others see it
