Sooo.. haha I don't really know how to go about posting this :') I've never really thought I would be. So the last year, or well sort of almost two really, I've been trying to properly identify my orientation. I always told myself I was straight. But I'm starting to think it's because my dad is a bit homophobic. It's difficult to pinpoint because.. he says he isn't, and he doesn't come off that way but sometimes he makes a few crude jokes and I just, it bugs me. My mom is super accepting of LGBTQ+ community, from at least what I can tell.
Anyway I think I'm bi??? I feel myself attracted to some girls but I'm also still attracted to boys. But it's become increasingly obvious that I find some women attractive. I think I've been told some people have more of a preference, like they lean more towards one gender but still openly are attracted to both. Because I can see myself in a relationship with either or.
But I think I've come to the conclusion I'm Bisexual. I may disclose this to my friends but I don't think I'm ready for the super big hurdle which is my family [dad].

Yeah, you can definitely be bisexual even if you lean towards one gender! I think many bi folks are that way, actually - I was the same back when I identified as such. Eventually I just realized I don't care about gender in terms of attraction lmao.
If you're worried about telling your parents, I wouldn't, at least not until you're in college/can support yourself. As nice as it is to be open with family… it's /really/ not worth it if there's a chance they might react badly and you're still living with them. Good luck if/when you do decide to speak with them, though!

Good luck if/when you do decide to speak with them, though! Figured. I'm prob not gonna tell anyone yet ;w; but I definitely am feeling fine in terms of kinda realizing it. c: It's likely my dad is a bit iffy with same gender attraction that's caused me to label myself heterosexual. I'll probably wait till I graduate college before I bring anything up. ^^
