Question: Im 13 (male) and im not sure if im gay, can anyone help me?
i go to a 'gay friendly' school so would that influence it?

Answers:

first of all honey, ur 13. U dont need to have a full grasp on who u are yet. Dont worry if ur not sure of ur sexual orientation as long as u are happy and feel good about urself.
Going to a gay friendly school doesnt make ppl think theyre gay; they make it okay to be gay. Its actually great to hear there are such. When i was in jr high i had rocks thrown at me not even cuz i was gay but because i hung out with gays. The only timei ever really see a gay friendly school influencing orentation is though fads. Most girls for example go though a bi phase most as some sort of fad.
So then comes the other auestion. Are u gay? Well are u sexually attracted to males? Arde u not sexually attracted to females? Ur 13 so ur bound to masterbate, what do u think of when u do this? What physical atribute do u prize? Is this prodominatly a male orr femal characteristic? Emotionally what do u like? Just ask urself questions like theses. However keep in mind ur young a&d its okay to be unsure. Play the felid;see what u like.

good luck and i hope this helpped.

No you are not gay. You have just been hit by the first dose of testosterone that will accompany you right throughout your life. It is all part of being a man. You are just starting to grow into manhood. All those things like getting erections and having wet dreams are probably starting to happen. That is a normal part of being a teenage boy. It does not make you gay. Are you able to talk to your father about these things, or an adult male who you can trust? Even your family doctor could be of assistance if there is no family member to inform you about the emotional side of entering manhood.

Going to a gay friendly school will make it easier for genuinely gay guys to not be bullied and teased. That in itself is a socially healthy thing. However, it does not make you or any other young fellow gay.

Being gay means that you are sexually attracted to members of the same sex. If you dig girls, or you like to flirt with them, you mightn't have a lot of confidence with them yet, but if you enjoy their company and think that one day you would like a relationship and one day get to have a partner and get married and have a couple of kid, just like your parents have done. You are not gay. You are heterosexual. However, always be considerate of genuinely gay people. They are usually born that way and should not be harassed or discriminated against because of their homosexuality.

Cheers!!!

Chris, like all other 13 year old boys, he cannot legally have sex until he is 16 years of age. He also does not want to get abused or taken advantage of by an older man if he is not gay. He should take his time to grow and develop into manhood - at least 18 years when he is an adult and then decide for himself.



I think i'd go along with @Chris.

Very few men are 100% straight = even if they think they are.
And even what is "gay" changes with every generation.

You are lucky to be in "gay friendly" school =
it means you have more freedom to find out how you swing.
Do what you are comfortable with.
At 13 you have a lot of leeway.

To @Bella Rose i would point out that in some countries sex is not legal
even at 16, and applies to straight sex too,
but many teens ignore it in those countries concerned.

And you can be Gay without having any particular sort of sex.

Dude, you're a teenager. Experiment, do what feels right to you. The other thought is which gender do you find more attractive? No one can tell you what your preference is, its something you have to learn for yourself.



you're probably just as confused as any kid hwo is being assualted by hormones for another 9-10 years.
and yes, there could be influence of your environment. not positivley, but possibly.



At 13 it would be premature to know your future sexuality. You would be going through puberty now so you will be experiencing many physical & emotional changes.
In a few years time you will know yourself better.



Not intricately if you are going to be gay it is a choice made by you not the environment you were brought up in.
