Don't feel like you're alone if you're trying to work out your sexuality. Most people at some point in their life fancy someone of the same sex. Finding someone attractive does not necessarily mean you are gay; these feelings are just part of natural sexual development.

It is important that you allow time for these feelings to develop and that you don't label yourself too early. It is okay to be unsure or to change your mind. Take your time, let your feelings develop naturally and don’t do anything in a rush.

If you know someone you know you can trust, talk to them about how you feel. Just listening to yourself explain your feelings might make things clearer.

It can feel isolating to discover that your sexuality is different to other people around you, especially if you don't know anyone else who's gay or lesbian. However, don’t be tempted to keep quiet or pretend that you're straight. You can't hide your feelings forever. What's more, you shouldn't have to - you have a right to be proud of who you are.
