Being bisexual
What is a bisexual person?
A bisexual person is someone who is sexually attracted to both sexes (boys and girls), but that doesn’t always mean equally. Boys and girls can be bisexual and, like with any other sexuality, being bisexual isn’t a choice. Sometimes you might hear people use the word 'bi' instead of 'bisexual' but they both mean the same thing.

Just a phase?
Sometimes people think that people who are bisexual are 'going through a phase.' Often what they mean by this is that they think that the person isn't sure of his or her sexual orientation (if they're gay, straight ect.)However, this isn’t true. Bisexual people understand and accept their sexuality and it isn’t right to think that they aren’t sure. This said its ok to be confused about your sexual orientation and with time you will discover who you are.

If you think you might be bisexual
If you think you might be bisexual, here are some top tips to help:
- It doesn't matter if you are in a relationship with a man or a woman. The only important thing is whether that person makes you feel complete and happy.
- Don't try to force yourself to like either gender, because it’s impossible to make yourself feel something that you don’t naturally feel
- Don’t be scared. Just listen to what the feelings you are getting are telling you. Remember, don’t try to ignore a feeling as this might make you upset and depressed
- Coming out is your decision. Don't be pressured into announcing your sexuality to the world, but at the same time don’t be afraid to tell someone if you’re not quite sure about your sexuality
