So, I've come to realize that 76% of youth from ages 13 to 17 claim to be bisexual or homosexual. Probably about 34% out of that 76% really is. I know many young girls who claim to be bisexual, and love girls and two days later end up dating some ugly, buff football player and say - in this exact way - Omg I luvv him sooooooo much. I hope we never brake up!!!!!!!. Although, they end up ending their relationship with said guy within a few more days and move on to someone else. Another guy. By the time they reach this other guy, they are heterosexual. Not as many guys will claim to be bi/homosexual. Although, quite a few guys claim to have bisexual or homosexual curiousities, in which they never explore. Sooner or later, the exact same scenerio occurs with a female and by the second or third girl they are completely heterosexual. And most of the time get mad when you ask them if they ever acted on their curiousities, and come back with something like I ain't queer, I would never touch another dude. In my opinion, I suppose people look at bisexuality and homosexuality as "cool." With songs like I Kissed A Girl and shows like A Shot At Love, teenagers asume this is cool and this is what you have to be to be popular. What annoys me is, they can't understand the struggle that bi/homosexuals have to go through just to get the point of simply liking yourself. I mean, sure, there are those people who can go their whole life being out and proud, but there are many more that are just drug down by their sexuality and fear. In my own experiences, I never could imagine being very open about my bisexuality. The men in my family wouldn't even soil their bullets with my blood, and the women in my family would either try to give me an excorsism, or they would just act like I never exsisted. My own mother almost found out a few times, and she said that when she looked at me she wanted to vomit. So, how could these kids think this is cool or popular ? It's not. It's hard. And when you have Religion thrown into the mix, it only makes things harder. As a Christian, I feel pretty ashamed most of the time. I try to tell myself that I am God's creation, and I should be proud of who I am, but when everyone is dragging me back down it gets pretty tough. Soon it becomes and up hill battle and one that most usually lose and become Athiests. I refuse to let my faith die, but it is so easy to let it. I admit, I am not the best Christian I could be. But I do live for God, and I am sorry if that bothers you. Being bisexual or homosexual and religious isn't impossible. It takes effort, and faith. I didn't mean to turn this into a religious discussion, but I felt the need to say that. The simple fact is, we are all who we are. Weather it be homosexual, heterosexual, bisexual, ect. People shouldn't lie about something like that to impress others. I mean, if some of these people really have overcome their confusion, then that's great. But I doubt many of them really ever had much confusion about their sexuality. I apologize for ranting, and taking up your time. I just needed to get this out.
