I wouldn't do much different one way or another at that age, would kind of wait to see what developed over time.
It reminds me a little of cousins/nieces/daughters, etc. who have gone through a vegetarian "phase" after reading Charlotte's Web or have tried different eating habits, etc.

You don't have to have "experience" in that area to know you are gay or bi or in between. Now, I can look back and realize I knew as far back as fourth grade that I was gay. Kids can tell by their attraction, crushes, the way they feel about their friends, etc.
