How do I know if I'm gay, straight, or something else?
Teens & Identity
Sexual orientation can take time to understand; there's no rush to label yourself, and it's okay to explore your feelings at your own pace.
Figuring out your sexual orientation is a personal journey that can take time. You might feel attracted to people of the same gender, different genders, or multiple genders. Some people know from a young age, while others don't figure it out until later. There's no rush to put a label on yourself. Pay attention to your feelings and attractions without judgment. Consider talking to a trusted adult, counselor, or joining online support groups for LGBTQ+ teens. Remember that sexuality can be fluid, and whatever you discover about yourself is valid.
