Gay Teens

Atashi asked me to blog on the topic of Teens who claim to be bi for the sex and/or attention.  

The teenage years can be really, really tough.  When I was a teenager my parents sucked.  They were nosey, wanted to tell me how to dress, got onto me about grades it was as if I couldn’t do anything right. My mom will now admit that she and my dad were tough on me.  I was a bit of a free sprit, instead of working with that they totally worked against it.  

So when teenagers say they are bisexual, gay, lesbian and I know it’s for attention.  I don’t get really worried about it.  Being a kid is hard when puberty hits even harder.  Kids want attention, from adults, peers, the world.   

When teenagers want attention they tend to try and go for shock value.  Right now in the media, and probably in many house holds across the land, a few derogatory terms have been muttered about homosexuals.  Teenagers like to piss their parents off, and get them all worried.  That way they know their parents care about them, and are listening.  

If the kid isn’t bisexual, or gay then they will grow up.  There are many well adjusted adults in the world who survived the teenage years.   

As for saying they are bisexual to have sex.  Teenagers are sexualy curious, and god knows they aren’t going to ask an adult about it.  If saying they are bisexual is going to get them more action, then they will probably do it.   

Teenagers want to feel wanted, need to feel wanted.  When they discover that their sexuality is a way to do that they will use it anyway they can.  Not thinking of the consequences of their actions and choices.  Probably not realizing their is more to them than their sexuality.  But when you’re a teenager the sex issue is foremost in the mind.   

If having sex makes them feel popular and liked, imagine what saying they are bisexual will do for them?  In the end, it’s part of kids growing up. It’s a messy process for a lot of teenagers. I haven’t met an adult yet who wishes they could go through those years again.  The best we can do as adults is education, look out for them, and know that this too shall pass.  

If you’re a teenager reading this, hang in there it gets better.  Sex is great, but not going to make you popular. You should hear the things they say about you when you’re not around.  Those kids want to be popular too, and saying they screwed you is one notch in their popularity belt.
