<p>I know a few kids in my high school who claim to be bisexual. Some are girls and some are guys. But I also wonder to myself if they're just saying it to draw attention to themselves. They'll go to Gay-Straight Alliance meetings some of the time and proclaim their bisexuality to the entire school. Yet I can't help but wonder if they're confused. Or if they're even being honest. I'm not trying to say every bisexual teenager falls into this category, but it just makes me wonder. What do you think?</p>
<p>I have no doubt that some of the bisexual girls at my school proclaim to be so just to get attention from guys. Several were kicked out of our school's gay-straight alliance after they were overheard making disparaging remarks about homosexuals.</p>
<p>I think some are in denial (of being one side or the other), others are just lying, and some are attention whores-it is extremely difficult to be bipartisan between both sexes without having a bias towards one side or the other.</p>
<p>I know a few people who define themselves as bisexual, but no one seems to really define themselves as gay (there are only a few). It seems to be the trend to say you are bisexual these days. There is a girl in my school who once dated this boy. Now, this girl claims to be a bisexual and is dating a girl who is open about her lesbianity. The "bisexual" girl's ex-boyfriend is now rumored to also be bi, having allegedly done something with a boy who graduated last year. We tend to see a lot of people claim to be bisexual, yet not many seem to say they're gay, and I wonder whether they say they are bi in order to still be accepted by the opposite gender and not make themselves exclusive to their own gender, as they still have images to maintain and they fear the reaction and possible expulsion they might face from their circle of friends.</p>
<p>I swear like 1/2 of the people on Myspace claim to be bi.</p>
<p>I know...They do...Go down a list. You'll see everyone calls themselves bi, even if they are dating someone of the opposite gender.</p>
<p>There are better ways to draw attention to yourself, obviously. Should have mentioned that in my prior post. It's all negative attention they get, whether they want to think so or not.</p>
<p>Actually, I only know of one so-called bisexual in my school. I know five or six gays/lesbians.</p>
<p>From what I seen, it most often gives them reputations as being "sl*ts".</p>
<p>There are three openly gay guys in the french IB programme (ie. my classes) at my school. They're all awesome guys and really fun to hang out with. They're really comfortable with themselves and its pretty cool.</p>
<p>I don't think I know anyone bi though... there's this one girl... but she's just weird and likes to experiment. She's really open about everything... too open in my opinion.</p>
<p>I'm bisexual in high school. I know of one girl who was bi, but she moved somewhere else. We do have a couple openly gay students.</p>
<p>Many bis and gays pretend to be straight for fear of reprocussion, so why is it strange for straights pretend to be bi? Guess that's a double standard.</p>
<p>Or maybe they just wish they could be bisexual, 'coz they know it's truly the best of both worlds. ;)</p>
<p>My cousin's gay (but he's in college). I don't really know of anyone at my school who's bi. I guess looking through MySpace I've seen people, but I didn't actually know them. As far as I know, all of my friends are straight.</p>
<p>who cares if people bisexual......just leave them alone and let them live as they wish...............while your at it, leave everyone alone and let everyone live they way they want</p>
<p>I think Samanthalynn created this topic to discuss how these days an immensely large number of people claim to be bisexual in high school when the likelihood and validity of such is often nonexistant. While there may, indeed, be some, in our generation, the number seems to have rapidly increased, and it is the validity of this that Samanthalynn has brought into question.</p>
<p>who cares.....leave them.....if thats what they want....if they want to portray themselves something they are not just for attention, then THEY ARE LOSERS........................just be yourself all the time and thats the best way to get attention because people will like you for who you really are........as cheezy it may sound but i believe this is the truth</p>
<p>I have a couple of friends that are bisexual, but they keep it to themselves. I didn't even know that they were bi until they were officers of our school's Gay-Straight Alliance. I guess they were pretty quiet about it and didn't want anyone to know about their sexual orientation.</p>
<p>On the other hand, I have a friend that doesn't know her sexual orientation (seriously). One day she proclaims that she's bisexual, next day it's transgender, third day... can't make up her mind, I suppose.</p>
<p>Wow...Interesting...Why do you suppose that is?</p>
<p>who? !@%$^&*()</p>
<p>Kchen's friend who is clueless, yet very vocal about, her orientation...</p>
