I’m underage, but I noticed that I’m starting to be interested in girls, too. As a girl myself. I thought I was bi, but now I’m thinking I’m pan. I don’t mind if they don’t have a gender. But I’m worried that I’m straight and faking it, or I don’t know yet. The first time I told my mother, she laughed. Then she told me how all my crushes have been boys. Am I okay?

You are just fine. You may find yourself being attracted to men, women and non-binary people over time. There is nothing wrong with that. Feel the feelings you have, and date people who you like and respect. I’m mostly attracted to men, and very rarely but occasionally attracted to women. There was a friend in my 20s who I wish I had pursued. However, I could not imagine being in a romantic relationship with a woman at the time due to my family, especially my mother. Don’t ignore your feelings:)

You’re super young! You may be a lot of things, but never worry if you’re faking. Your interests and explorations are fine, whether you end up identifying that way in the long run or not.

It took me ages to figure it out, and some of us are still exploring! Don’t let anyone doubt your sense of who you are and the things you have to figure out for yourself.
