But then I realized that there were other signs in my childhood that pointed towards the fact that I've probably always liked girls, such as a memory from second grade when I found this one particular friend very beautiful and I remember always wanting to hug her or just be around her. I started thinking that maybe I was just attracted to HER, not girls.
We were pretty much attached at the hip already so that deepened my affection for her. Since I knew that she liked girls, too, I think that helped me realize that it was a possibility for us to be together. It was the first 'real' crush I had ever really had. "The moment I realized I was attracted to girls was back in eighth grade when I developed a crush on one of my best friends. I realized that I had a crush on one of my best girl friends when I was young, and whenever I played with Barbies, I would always have same-sex Barbie couples." - Hannah, 18 "Even when I was little, I always found I had an attraction toward both males and females. I cried my eyes out alone in my dorm, just worried what people would think of me if it had ever come out that I liked a girl."- Amber, 21 I was scared because I had never felt this way about another girl, and I didn't know if it was okay to feel that way.

I'm bisexual, but honestly, I lean more toward girls." - Meg, 16 I wanted to kiss her, and I had no doubt in my mind that I liked girls. Hours into the festival, after spending all day together, we started holding hands, putting our arms around each other, leaning on each other's shoulders. I still wasn't sure about my sexuality, though, until my freshman year of high school when I met a girl at a concert and we immediately clicked. It wasn't until years later that I realized I liked her romantically. I was unable to talk to her normally and was so shy around her and I didn't know why. "When I was in seventh grade, I had a crush on a girl. Emily Skeggs (the girl) came out in briefs and knee socks and I thought, 'Wow I'm definitely not straight,'and it spiraled from there." - Kelli, 17 It was a clip from the song 'Changing my Major' (a song about a girl who realizes that she is a lesbian). "There were a lot of signs in my childhood that I ignored, but the first time I was self-aware of my sexual identity was when I watched a video from the musical Fun Home.
