As for your immediate situation, I think you are too young to become sexually involved with anyone. Rather than trying to figure out whether you are gay or can ''switch,' continue to accept your feelings - all of them. While it is true that people who are predominantly homosexual can change their behavior - by not relating sexually to the same sex - they can't change their basic feelings, or which gender they feel attracted to. It can be very confusing especially to young people as they are experiencing stronger sexual feelings and want to figure them out.

Many people feel attracted to both genders. Many teens who have strong same-sex feelings respond to the anger and prejudice they feel from some parts of society by trying to deny their feelings. In fact, it's great you are honestly thinking and wondering about this. Is what I'm feeling OK? Is there any way I can switch back?

When all the other boys at my school talk about girls, I'm not interested. My other problem is that the boy who baby-sits us is very attractive. My parents don't think I'm old enough to baby-sit yet, but that's only one problem.
