My spin on it;

Are people born as alcoholics? Your first response to that may be no, but I would say there are people that will become an alcoholic after one taste of alcohol so i would argue that it is built in for some people. Still an alcoholic can choose to drink or not to drink, some can be lifelong functioning alcoholics, and others will be a mess and should not drink.

Being Bisexual is like that. It's not just about how you feel, but also how you function and every single person is different. I indulged myself for a long time. I think for myself that the chase was just as addicting as the sex, but at some point you wake up and say "can I live like this for the rest of my life?" Then you have to make a decision to drink or not drink. It's not like you won't alway be an alcoholic no matter the decision that you make so accept who you are and then decide how you want to live. Forget about being confused about it, choose the path you want to be on. If you are still young, it may not be time yet to make that decision, you are still chasing the high. Even still, Don't be confused, you are who you are, but at some point you need to make a decision. just like an alcoholic, you can't change what you are, so accept it and don't hate yourself for it, everyone struggles with things in life. The saying goes if everyone around you put their problems out on the table, you would gladly take your own problems back.

Should you or Shouldn't you? Once you open that can of worms, it is very hard to close it again. That being said sometimes there is no stopping it. So I think I would just say communication is very important. If it happens then talk about it with the person or things will become very complicated.

Circumstances will change with time, so enjoy the relationships you are in now but keep your mind on what you want for your future.

IMHO, I don't think you have any choice. Of course, you can choose not to act on your feelings, but that doesn't mean your feelings don't exist. I believe that everyone is born in their orientation, whatever it may be. Pretending to be straight, acting like you're straight - or gay, or bi, or anything else - doesn't make you actually straight.

Quite true. You can suppress your feelings but you cannot destroy them. Some day or the other they are bound to surface and resisting them would only cause you much avoidable pain.
