I feel like there tends to be a range of sexual preferences amongst women - straight, lesbian, bisexual, bisexual with more interest in men, bisexual with more interest in women, etc. I know lots of girls (including myself) who find other women attractive but have no desire to be with a woman. So I think the thoughts you are having are totally normal and not something you need to fear.

As for turning into a bad person while working with children, I'm a little confused as to what you mean. Do you think something about working with children would change you for the worse? (and if so, why?) Or are you just worried that you will become a bad person for unrelated reasons and therefore not have a positive influence on the children you would be working with?

There are many people who are closer with their family than friends. It's important to have positive relationships with others, but personally I don't think it matters whether those people are friends or family. As long as you are happy with your social situation, that's what's important.

Thank you sooo much!
I'm studying education and I guess I'm just worried that while I'm teaching I will become a bad person. I work in my church with young children and the thought of people abusing or hurting children sickens me! I don't know how anyone could do that! I know this sound ridiculous but I get this fear that says, wait, what if I become someone like that! Knowing that this will never happen, I still get that sickening thought!

Thanks!
