    Hi there, and welcome to EC! :slight_smile:

    Sometimes it helps not to label yourself, and go with the flow as it were. If you feel that you have an attraction towards guys, explore it more, and maybe try to understand what attracts you to a guy. Similarly for your attractions to girls.

    When you walk down the street and you see a cute guy coming towards you, do you check him out? Do you think to yourself: he is cute? These are some of the clues for you to take a note of as you keep exploring your attractions.

    Do you have to figure it all out at once? No, not at all. The more you explore your feelings the better you will understand them. Maybe what would help you is to talk to a counselor, perhaps at your school, about your feelings and the associated thoughts. Often times, talking out loud about what we feel, what we think, and whom we are attracted to, can help to make things clearer and also easier on ourselves.

    In figuring things out, take it slow. As you start processing your feelings and thoughts things will fall into place and you will be able to understand it all. (*hug*)
