It's all about what you think, not your friends. Friends will either support you or not. Teen years are a rough time, you're going through hormone changes and sometimes you may feel attracted to boys more than girls and vice versa. You can still be gay and questioning though so don't worry.

well said Jake. and it is very possible you might be bisexual and like guys and girls. you do not have to be in a rush to figure it out, nor try to put some type of label on yourself

^^^Exactly this. What is most important is that you feel comfortable with yourself and your sexuality, rather than trying to conform to one certain label. Labels can be helpful when trying to describe yourself to family and friends, but don't let them define you. If someone knows you well, and trusts you, then if you explain and speak to them about how you feel, then they will understand. Worry about things that have happened, not things that might happen.

This can be the case and that is why its best not to rush the labels or self identity, but you can be or have gay feelings and still question and be curious.
Your true friends will not judge you nor should your family but just take it easy and see how you go.
You can maybe change your sig as well?

Hi I'm in a similar situation I've always seen myself as straight but for the past month or so I've been into both girls and boys so I guess I'm bi but I'm not telling anyone yet till I figure it out myself, but like the other's have said don't put a label on it cos once you do that you try to convince yourself and end up more confused

Either way, labels do not always define who you are as person. Give yourself more time.

If you enjoy going out with a guy, do so. If you enjoy going out with a girl, do so. Enjoy being you and do not assign a label and do not let anyone else assign you a label. Just be yourself and enjoy life as it happens! Oh, and as James suggested, change your sig.

Only you know what is right for you, how you feel, and its not for anyone to judge you because of it. You have the right to change your mind, or amend your status anytime you want because its about you, not anyone else. So, its up to you to decide.

I don't think it matters what your friends think. Everybody needs time to find out who they are, it doesn't matter if you are attracted to guys or girls. If they are real friends they will stick by you.

Exactly what he said^^^^ What does it matter what other people think. It only matters how you feel. Find out who your are, live your life. Don't worry about what other people think. You're an awesome person :D
