Like no disrespect but how yall 13 year olds know yall gay so young?? like broski, in middle school all i was thinking was how to parkour my way out of tag

I had my first crush when I was around six years old and I just wanted to be as close to her as possible and wanted her to like me back. I thought it was pretty common for a girl to like another girl so I thought nothing of it until a few years later when somebody said that "homosexuality is not normal and it is a sin". It made me feel like shit and like a subhuman creature.

And when I was around 11-12 years old, I had this fucking huge crush on a girl in my class and I was ready to do anything to gain her liking. And I did to some point (which didn't really work). I already felt like I wasn't actually human and that my feelings were wrong so I buried all those feelings amd avoided facing that problem for almost 6 years. I didn't think I deserved to love someone since "I was not straight as I was supposed to and "failed" to be". (Didn't even know what being bisexual was but I was sure I wasn't straight)

If I faced myself and accepted my feelings as is at the time, maybe I would have accepted who I was by the age of 13 or 14 and didn't feel like a monster every time my heart fluttered for a girl.
