Is she to young to decide ?

Question

There is this girl at my school and yesterday she came out as lesbian she is 12 years old and she has a friend and on the bus this morning her friend says NOPE you can't be lesbian you can't decide your still young but I was like basically she has to like boys till she's older

Answer

I knew I had feeling for the same sex when I was 7. I was raised in a super fundamentalist family, so I don't really understand that I was bisexual till much later. Nowadays kids have more information about sexuality. It's very possible she has a fairly firm grasp on which sex she's attracted to, even at a young age.

Answer

If they know they can like the opposite sex that young why couldn't they know they like the same sex?

Answer

No definitely not. If that's how she feels than she obviously knows herself better than any of her so-called friends. That is shaming her btw- and it's not cool. They are wrong here. If when she's older she changes her mind- that is also her perogative but that's the same thing as a girl at the same age proclaiming she's straight- how does she know she doesn't like girls? It's just less "normal" according to society so that's what makes people want to put an age bracket on it. I am bi- and I didn't really realize it until I was 19. But I have friends who knew when they were 5 that they were gay. Everyone is different. Sexuality is fluid- it's not a black and white thing. ❤️

Answer

We are pushed to like the opposite sex from birth, it's 100% possible to know who you are attracted to even younger than 12.
