Being "BI"

[Leigh]

Heyy.

Is this just a form of popularity status now? It would seem the people who are turning BI in my area is on the rise.. mostly from Emo people who think it's cool to be BI..

I had a convosation with this guy the other day..

"Heyy. I'm Leigh"
"Hey im *name*Josh"
"Cool. So.. you gay?"
"Well.. no.. i'm BI"
"Cool. How long have you known"
"Not long.. i like women like way more than i like men.. but i think some men are attractive"

It's like.. Hello?
I think theres a confusion being spread through youths today that if you find another boy attractive your gay.. but you cant be gay because you like girls.. so your BI.
Little do they know, it's more than likely there hormones racing.

Anyone any ideas/points?

i'm not sure. i know like some people have said people just do it for the attention, but they might partly be saying it because like the world we live in today accepts gay/bi/lesbians a lot more than say, 50 years ago. even 20.

[joe:-,]

Most [Mostly girls] do bisexual acts and say they are bisexual for attention off men ! Also alot of emos say they are bisexual just to be that extra bit different :s

I believe that alot of people are thinking they are Bi when they are 13/14 when it's just hormones being all-over the place. I agree how it's suddenly become a trend to becombe bi when being an 'emo' so they can be that bit more unique[unique, my behind]

I agree with Truth.. i think it's more of a status thing now.

But let's get down to the REAL "BiSexual" people.. do we think that actually exists in modern day society or is it just people unsure about who they are?

well, i disagree with that.

i'm bisexual. i prefer boys, but still, i like girls. i havn't determined what gender i will end up with when i am older, although i think there is more chance of it being a boy than girl. but, real bisexuals do still exist.

[uh huh her]

i think there are some people who do it for the attention, just cos its 'cool' to be bi or whatever. or it might just be, as like ben said, now people accept it more, people come out more than they used too.
plus it might just be hormones & stuff going wild.

I agree with Craig about the hormones thing. I went through a "bi" phase about 2 years ago now (just before I turned 15 really) and looking back I'll agree that there was a sort of fashion to it. There were only about 4 or 5 of us who actually acted on our new-found bisexual wants and needs, and all the others backed away in fear whenever anything started getting rowdy

I'm actually completely straight now (well, 98% perhaps) and I'm sure I always was, just the hormones issue.

edit: of course there are real bisexuals around, but the majority of people over 16 who claim to be bi (in my experience) are just people who'll take it from anyone.

I think it's annoying how some people become bisexual just because others do.
It's a trend for some people.

But yeah there are proper bi people who actually like both genders and stuff.

People at my school are really close minded.
If you say something about gay/bi/les they're like;
"EEW I think all gays should die"
