Lesbian Question and Answer Archive

Hi, I’m pretty certain that I’m a lesbian, but I’m only 14, and a lot of the stuff I’ve seen on the internet says that 14 is too young to know for sure… which I guess is fair enough, because of hormones and stuff, but I’ve had these feelings and have been showing signs of liking girls for longer than I can remember, far before any of this puberty nonsense:) however, I have had crushes on guys in the past, but that was more a sort of.. attention thing, plus it was only during my really super hormonal stages, and I haven’t felt that way for a while now. I thought I was bi for a bit, but now I can only see myself with girls. I understand that there’s no rush to label things, and it’s not like I’m stressing about it  just yet. What annoys me is the fact that so many people say I  can’t know now, that it might be a phase, that everything I feel so strongly about now is basically just me being childish, just me being under  a false pretence. So… what do you think?  Am I too young? Should I wait before I come out? Thanks for the help! XD

Thanks for the great question! No, it's not a phase. If it is a phase, then is it a phase that all the straight 14 year olds are going through? Is being straight at 14 just a phase also? Your story relates to more gays and lesbians than you can imagine, and I thank you for sharing it and posing the question. It's a short answer because the answer is simply, no, it is not a phase.
