I’m a Girl. I Think I Might Be into Girls, But I am Very Confused. Is There a Way to Know?

Published: June 13, 2021
Dear TeenHealthFX,
hi tfx, I'm a girl, but I think I might be into girls. But I really don't know if I actually like girls or if I just think they're pretty. Also, many of my friends are LGBTQ so maybe I'm just feeling peer pressured into feeling like it or something. I also feel like I'm fooling myself, and doing it for attention. Is there like, a way to know? I've never been in love with a girl, but not really with a boy either. I do often think like, 'that girl is so pretty' and I don't really think that of boys, but again, maybe I'm just appreciating beauty. I'm just very confused.

Dear I’m a Girl. I Think I Might Be into Girls, But I am Very Confused. Is There a Way to Know? ,

TeenHealthFX understands how confusing this can be. Being a teenager can be challenging on so many levels and trying to identify your sexuality is one of them. Sometimes teenagers believe they need to identify as one sexuality and that is simply not the case. Some people know their sexual orientation at a young age and some people never do.

In addition, it is perfectly normal to look at someone of the same sex and think they are attractive without being sexually attracted to them.  It can be very confusing and difficult to understand your sexuality and emotions since they are constantly changing.  Every person is different and has different likes and dislikes. There is no right or wrong way to feel. Try to keep in mind your own feelings and ideas rather than the need to feel pressured. KidsHealth has a great article that can better help you understand. We hope this helps!
