Different from what or whom?how old were you when you figured out that you were different?
and what was it like when you were going through puberty?
this is what i thought...I always knew I was different. Always had girls for friends and liked "girl" things even though I knew I wasn't supposed to.
that sucks :frown1:I always felt different in many regards. Bullies made fun of me and called me gay. And even after they left, I was still so confused about it... I am getting closer to the answer, but I'm still far away from 100% sure-ness.
It's very hard, I am very sure girls have lesser problems with it when it comes to things like family. I was so frustrated that I hated myself. So it's hard .... I'm bi and all but the way how there's so much homophobia ... It made me scared and it was so hard for me to accept I'm both gay and straight...
I don't say it openly to anyone, not even my family... just the closest friends. But it's not like I'm hiding my gay side... I'm just not talking about it, same for my straight side! I didn't tell anyone aside from my friends that I had a few girlfriends already.
I remember two guys I sat by in the ninth grade. One of them in particular appeared to have a large pair of socks shoved down the front of his undershorts. Caught my eye every time. But checking each other out at that age was pretty blatant, so I didn't really think anything much of it. Now I realize I was probably a little too interested.It was when i was about 14 that i recall first noticing other lads, well one in particular
that sucks :frown1:
basically, it's a friend of my daughters.
the kids at school are being quite arseholish about it.
to be honest i don't know for sure if he is or not.
he told me he had a dream about snogging a guy in his class.It's not sure if he is, most likely he's just gentle or a nerd who likes to hang around with one guy in particular who happens to be unpopular as well (or both like in my case). Doesn't have to auomaticly mean he's not straight.
Before I went through puberty, and even during a part of puberty, I didn't feel any attraction whatsoever to either gender. Growing up, I had plenty of male and female friends. I had both a male and a female best friend, and would play sports with the boys and occasionally be the only boy at an "all girls" party. I knew I was different but I wasn't aware of my sexuality. Only when I hit about 14/15 did I finally start feeling an attraction toward guys. I couldn't understand why and for some reason, being gay just wasn't an option; it never occurred to me. After some time and plenty of mental turmoil, I came to accept it. When I accepted it, I felt amazing. I always thought I'd be lonely forever since I knew I could never be with a woman. It was very confusing and depressing to say the least.how old were you when you figured out that you were different?

So basically it was at that age that I realized what was going on. I never had any issues with it myself - no drama or denial or refusal to accept the obvious. Never bothered trying to force myself to date girls or anything. I actually never even made much of an effort to hide it from others.
