One thing is to consider is bullying in public schools. It’s rampant and the behavior expectations are so low.

I think it’s rather common for teens to self-identify as gay or bi and then eventually realize they’re straight later on.

Is it? And do these people really stop being attracted to the same sex, or just stop pursuing same-sex relationships and stop calling themselves bisexual?
 
Some of them aren’t actually attracted in the first place, they just use it for popularity or something.

It’s fairly common for girls to identify as gay or bi and discarding the identity in adulthood. We call those lesbians until graduation.

Sentences involving the word “some” are true if two or more people have done the relevant thing. Thus, of course, I agree with you. But how likely is what you describe? I’m not sure.

But my point is that they may very well be attracted to women all the while, whether or not they say so.

Or maybe a lot of bi women just go ahead and date/marry men because it’s more socially acceptable.
 
Then why would they come out in the first place if they feared rejection.

They wouldn’t make such a big deal about it if wasn’t high on the list.
 
They want to identify as it and it looks like they want a lot of people to know about it.
 
While I haven’t really encountered that, it doesn’t invalidate anything I said.

12? That’s pretty young. I’m not sure when my same sex attractions started. Probably 13 or 14.

You…you missed the sarcasm disclaimer? And here I was wondering if I was being too obvious.

It kinda does invalidate what you said, because it’s obvious that you have a huge double standard with regard to appropriate expression of one’s sexual orientation.

That a 12 year old is so adamantly sure about a sexual preference is odd. What sorts of exposure to sexual things does she have? This seems awfully young to be defining or even knowing what these things entail.

Not odd at all. Most 12 year old girls have already gotten their period, which means they have reached sexual maturity. As a 12 year old girl, I was adamantly sure I was attracted to boys, not girls. Why would it be any different for the girl who is attracted to girls, or to boys and girls.

I think so many of the adults here don’t remember what it is like to be 12. I remember it like it was yesterday, and I am old. I wouldn’t discount what a 12 year says on this issue.
 
A lot of kids are identified as homosexual or transexual from a lot younger age than 12.

Like kindergarten age or even before
 
I haven’t encountered those things things so I don’t know how much straight people express their orientation, but these particular people express their supposed orientation a lot but don’t follow suit for the most part.
