About Me:
I am a fun,unique person who just happens to be really confused right now. I am really into painting, singing, and writing but I also love to read.

 I am so confused!! The fact of the matter is that I have been so for a really long time but have been in denial. I think that I might be bi. There is so much that comes with that acceptance for me. I don't know how to know for sure. I don't know who to talk to. I don't know how to talk to someone about it. I am scared what would happen if my family or friends find out. I don't know how I would tell the guy I am dating. I JUST DON'T KNOW!! I feel so stress and confused. I am in a new place without a guide to tell where to go and without anyone to help point me in the right direction. I don't know what to do.

First of all, it's okay to be confused, and it's natural that that confusion would cause you some stress. I would suggest checking out Youth Resource and talking with the Peer Educators there. Youth Resource is a project of Advocates for Youth, and on their website (which is linked to at the top of the Amplify homepage) it says:
Do you feel a bit turned inside out sometimes when it comes to questions you have about your sexual orientation, gender identity, or sexual health? Maybe it would help to share your concerns with someone who has been in the same situation as you... our peer educators can give you the inside view on being out.

They're a great resource for LGBTQ youth, and are always willing to talk and answer questions.

I know exactluy what you're going through.I'm in the later stages of the processmyself. However, I think I understand the problem enough to give you some advice.First thing is you have to accept it yourself.Even if you're just accepting yourself as curious it still helps.As for not knowing if you should tell your boyfriend...again I've been in the same situatuion, but I knew (and so should you) that if he really cares about you then he'll understand that determining your sexuality is something you need to find out.Its a major part of your personality, part of what makes you you.You shouldn't have to hide it.If your boyfriend is really worth being with then he'll understand and let you know his opinions on it, and if he is really understanding he'll let do what you ned to do to answer your quetions.Same with your friends...if theyakre really worth your friendship they'll accept you for who you are.Unfortunatly I can't give you any advice on how to tell your family about it.:/ I don't know how my dad would react and my mom would act like she was ok with it but really she'd be disgusted by it...so I can't help you there because I'm still working on that myself.But I hope what advice I could give you was helpful! :D
