Not sure... but I think I might be a lesbian

[Malinahona]

I'm not sure, like I said in the title, but I'm 13 and I think I may like my best friend. Any advice?

I think being 13 is far too young to determine your sexuality and it's probably hormones

It could just be a phase, but until you find out, try talking to her about it, after all she is your best friend so you should be able to trust her :) hope this helps.

Thanks :) That actually did help, I'm going to talk to her about it tomorrow.

I just realized something. Lesbian means to be attracted to the same sex if you are a girl right? Well then that's it, I'm a lesbian. Because I am not really attracted to guys, but I am to girls. Maybe it's just a hormone thing, but for now its true.

If you are emotionally attached to her, because of the times you spend with her, thru the thick and thin. It is perfectly normal.
As long as you are sure you like the person, it does not really matter if they are guy or girl.

Speaking to her like what giles said would be an awesome idea, but of course you would have to say such things at the right place and the right time.

Its cool to be willing to try and experiment, being lesbian or homosexual or bisexual is something where by when you are not, you are not.

You will ultimately outgrow it, if you are not.
It is not a choice.
Be it any gender, tell that person with an open heart and share your feelings to that person, if you dont tell people how you feel, no one will know in the first place.

Give it a shot, and make that shot count.
Whatever the result is, whats most important is you tried.

Good luck
Cheers

13 is not too young for some people. Some people know from much earlier ages.

Don't be too quick to label yourself. This is one girl you feel you're attracted to, not a whole bunch. You need to discover whether you think he female sex in general is more attractive or if it's just this girl. At 13 there really is good odds this is just hormones from puberty giving you the curiosity that most teenagers have in their own sex at one time or another.

Just take things nice and slow before you jump to labelling yourself. The last thing you want is to start telling people you're a lesbian and then decide in a few weeks/months that actually you're not and it was just a phase. If you do find females attractive, and not males so much, that's absolutely cool, just try and set things straight (no pun intended) in your mind before you sticker yourself what you think you are.

To anyone who's reading this, I told my best friend that I think I'm gay. She responded with "but you don't look or act gay!" I honestly wanted to cry. I asked her how you can look or act gay and we had a conversation about it. Basically, her definition of lesbian, is tomboy. My friend is so overprotected...

[christcenteredlife]

you're really too young to know and trying to decide right now, isn't exactly a good idea. plus, being a lesbian, is a long tough road. so good luck if that's the end conclusion.

Don't listen to people who say your too young. You know who you are just go with what you feel. I identify as a lesbian because i like woman but i would probably be considered pan-sexual because i don't think i would ever turn down someone i loved for the sake of a label. If you ever want to talk about anything i'm online allot. Just ask me and i'll PM you my email address.

I had crushes on girls when I was in third grades, guys. I knew my sexuality from an early age. Thirteen is DEFINITELY not too young.

Thirteen year olds know if they're straight, why not if they're lesbian?

Yeah, nobody can tell you if you're a lesbian or not, but don't label yourself right quick :) You know who you like and frankly right now it's not anybody's business. I say give it two or three more years. It'll be more clear then, or at least it should be.

[Love.Hate]

Well don't listen to your friend because not all lesbians are "tomboys". You don't need to label yourself now anyway, you are who you are and whether your 100% sure of that right now doesn't really matter. Just don't be too quick to label it because you never know who is round the corner :)

It took me about two years before I finally decided to label myself bisexual. You have all the time in the world :)

[mandyluvgirl]

it takes time to figure out who and what you are , i felt the same way at 13 so i ended up hating guys becase i was raped at 13 so now im into girls youll figure it out soon, i promise..
