Are you a teenager?

  1. Don't let people on the internet tell you what your sexuality / gender is. They can't possibly know. They do not know you. Especially if they are older than you, or trying to tell you something you don't quite feel comfortable with
  2. It is very normal to not know your what your sexuality is when you're young.
  3. A label may or may not work for you, and ultimately it doesn't really matter because love is love.
  4. I think teens these days feel like they have to attach themselves to a label and stick to it like glue. Q used to stand for questioning as well as queer, it's ok to not have it all worked out. There's something great about being a teenager and discovering sexuality because you're in this space of wonder, curiosity, experimentation.
  5. Stating a label does not mean that you consent to anything and can't say 'no' later. If you say you are straight that does not mean you consent to sex with someone because they are a man.
  6. The brain keeps developing until it's 25.
  7. Some things we learn from experience.
  8. If you don't feel like having sex with someone that is a very good reason to say no. Nobody should pressure you into having sex.
  9. If a relationship isn't working out for you, it's ok to just break up.
  10. There's no rush to work all this out. Take your time and don't worry about it. Things will sort themselves out in time.

that's ok. A lot of people asking these questions are teenagers so I don't want to say anything that would be too 'adult' for them. The only thing I will say then, is love whoever you want, you don't have to put a label on it.
