Question
I am 14 (female)and really really want a boyfriend,  it I keep thinking I'm gay
for no reason at all. It's something that is on my mind constantly and is
making my life hell I don't know how to get it out of my head. I know you will
probably just say accept you're gay, but I don't ever want to. I have never
thought of girls like I do boys. Please help me;'(

Answer
Hi Los

What is it that makes you think you might be gay? You said you have never thought of girls like you do boys, which leads me to believe that you are sexually or emotionally (or both) attracted to boys, yet for some reason still think you might be gay. Please clarify.
