Well, All you need to do is just not tell anyone if you don't want to. In my opinion being Bi is far easier than being gay. Since you like girls as well as guys people will still think you are straight. You don't need to hide it very much.

Come out when it feels right, if there is no risk of injury to yourself and you accept the consequences.
It's your choice. Don't feel forced into anything.

In my opinion; Bisexual people are judged just as much (if not more), because there is much less understanding of it when compared with homosexuality, and this lack of understanding is based on stereotypes and "biphobia" (if that isn't a real word, I coined it first ;)
"Airfan", please try to empathise with us.

Well, in my opinion saying that you are 'straight but curious' when you are utterly positive that you are bisexual is a bit silly.
I don't mean to sound rude but by telling people that you're curious, you are still potentially attaching the stigma that comes with bisexuality and homosexuality to yourself, and it might actually be worse because some people might think that you just don't know what you want, that you're undecided or that you're "Confused" (Which, admittedly, it's possible that some people will no matter what, but that is a tad bit besides the point).
Honestly I think that if you are going to tell people your sexual orientation, you should tell the truth and proudly say "I am bisexual!" I say go ahead, be proud and tell the truth about it!
P.S. There's absolutely no reason you should be disappointed in yourself! It's a wonderful thing to be able to take gender out of the equation of love, isn't it?
Oh, and have a happy new year!

Well I am kinda like you. Im not sure if Im bi. So I say Im straight/curious. You can choose to wait or not. No matter what people will still love you. Family and friends. Plus being bi isnt bad. If you like girls more then no one will judge you. Good Luck!! Hope this helps!! :)

people judge but the thing is people are also stupid :P lol everyone wants to control others. if your bi then be proud. but if your like me and care too much wat people say then try to open up to a few people first instead of everyone. do watever your most comfortable with.

idk what 2 tell you.........
I am absolutly 100 % GAY that does not mean I hate girls. I have a number of female friends but it does not mean I want to have sex with them.
but we can sit and chat about all the hot guys while were out and about

:) I'm really happy to have gotten it off my chest
P.S. I didn't realize you could change your username, so I made a new account and that got blocked. So I just went on to my old account and changed my name :) ....so that's why my username is one letter different XD

Being Bi lets you have more love options, just don't stare to long at a guy unless you wanna freak him out or get a bloody nose :)

You only have to tell people when you are ready, buddy. Congrats on figuring it out, and don't listen to the haters, k? :)

First of all about 60% of guys are somewhat homosexual while approx 10% are fully homosexual. So about 50% of guys are some kind of bisexual. so don't think you are a minority.
Doesn't change american culture though. So be careful.

I am not trying to be anything but honest. from what I have read u have not done anything with a guy or girl so how can u B anything but...curious
I have experimented with both and always seem to end up with a guy so I came out as gay. but only to real closes friends and family. it got around anyway but at least now I can be myself. I guess from the Bi point of view if you get caught messing with a guy u could say u was curious...experimenting making it easy to cover ur tracks and look str8. but ur still hiding like I used 2 B.

...As in ever?
I don't want to pry--well, I am curious--but why? What happens if you fall in love with a guy in the future and potentially end up wanting to spend your life together with him?

You obviously havent heard of my parents and family...if i even told them i was Bi...they wouldn't let me go near a boy...and they'd probably kill me.

just becuase i havent done anything with a boy doesn't mean i have feelings for them....like "those" feelings.
