thought about identity - March 28th 2025, 03:14 PM
I'm pretty sure I'm a lesbian, since I've never really liked a boy before, but I've liked girls. I feel comfortable with that label. But my parents are convinced I'm going to end up a cishet girl. My mom is bisexual and she even thinks I'm just a cishet girl. I know I'm only 12, but I'm pretty confident with this identity choice, but I'm not sure how to express to people that I just don't like boys. It feels like I should, and it feels wrong I don't...

I don’t think you need to necessarily shout it from the rooftops. I’d start by telling your friends that you have been doing some exploration and you have discovered you are a lesbian. If your school allows it maybe you can wear pride colors? Like a bracelet or socks, etc.

Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive
