Since I was 12, I used to think to myself, if I don't work out with a man, I'll date a woman instead. I had no idea about what sexuality was and had no idea that most kids my age just preferred the opposite sex. I've grown up in a Christian family, I have a faith, I go to church etc... It's not until i started going to church that i was told dating or having any intimate relationships with the same sex is apparently against the church.
To this day, I don't have problems with any sexuality, religion or anything despite what my church says, I'd much prefer respect everyone no matter who or what they are. I've come to terms recently that I may be bi, but since my parents are religious, I can't really talk to them about it. I've got a crush on a guy at the moment, but I have considered some girls. I don't and do want to talk to them about it, but I fear rejection or mental abuse where they'll try to straighten me up.

I am seeing a psychiatrist soon about my mental health (I'm getting diagnosed), but she's also holds Christian values, which is fine, but I can't ask about my sexuality there in fear that I may be judged the same way and even though what you say to a psychiatrist is mainly confidential between you and them, I fear she'll tell my parents anyway. Is there anyone I can talk to about this? I don't know if I want this or not, or if it's just a phase or the effects of puberty or if it's actually a real thing going on for me. Help.
