[ClaimedLittleOne]

I don't know what sort of replies you're going to get here Hun, although I know that bisexuality can't be endorsed here either. I did want to say though that teenage years are a bit early to try and define your sexuality . Give yourself time to figure out who you are before you place yourself in boxes, but understand that God will always love you too. Some Christians, like your school it seems, can sometimes forget that we're meant to love above all else, but maybe it's because they want to see you taking the paths they think are right too.

I'm not sure if I can help in any way, but if you ever want to talk, you're more than welcome to send me a private message (PM) and I'll get back to you as soon as I can .

Well you're still young and for all you know your feelings might become more defined in a few years. Hormones can cause all kinds of confusion when it comes to attraction.
Sometimes we admire someone and lose sight of the difference between admiration and attraction.

As for me, you're my lil sis and I love you no matter what.

Steffi and Mr Cheese are right, and it'snot that you have those feelings that a problem, it's what you do with them that counts.

ClaimedLittleOne... everybody who goes through what you are going through now has a tough time of it. If you can find someone who you trust to really talk to seriously about the things you're facing right now, who you can go to in the tough times and who will listen to you seriously, it can really help. The person can be a friend, family member, priest... anyone who you feel you can trust and who you feel comfortable with.

I don't know why so many people will insist on telling you that you're too young to really understand your feelings etc. etc. As far as I've seen and from what I've gone through myself, I know that a 15-year-old person is more than capable of understanding their own feelings, even if they become overwhelming at times and even if there are still a lot of things to discover about them.

You, better than anybody, know what you're going through right now, and so my advice is simply to face your feelings head on and deal with them instead of trying to ignore them or put them off until later, because that doesn't accomplish anything helpful for yourself.

If you ever want to talk, let me know. Good luck and God bless

Hi ClaimedLittleOne,
I am glad you are here, and were not too afraid to post. I know that the Lord loves you no matter what, and I do not want to judge you and/or tell you that you don't belong here. If you are a believer, you belong.
I do know and agree with Steffi, the Bible does not endorse or approve of any relations other than with a man and a woman.
As a younger girl, I did things that I am not too proud of, but I know that I am forgiven. I do not continue to do the things I did, but I am not guilty any longer.
Put your trust in Him -- totally. Ask Him to show you the way.
I know it is hard -- but He will, if you surrender to His will for your life.
My thoughts and prayers for you, Vivster

dearest recovery peepers, this thread has been having alot of offtopic and endorsing posts. you need to remember the the recovery forums are a refuge for members seeking and encouraging recovery. we are now closing this thread for review. we will be contacting only the opening poster concerning our evaluation.

Recovery Forum Guidelines.

1. No threats and/or endorsement of suicide or self-injury.

This includes posting that a member of CF has killed himself or herself. Staff will use the pm system and/or email to help members in these situations but will remove these kinds of posts as they can cause trauma and copycat behavior in other members.

2. No endorsement of certain topics (Endorsement means you can't post to encourage someone to engage in these behaviors or indicate that they are acceptable choices.)

• Drug use
• Gambling
• Polygamy
• Extramarital or premarital sexual activity
• Masochism/Sadism/Bestiality/Pedophilia or other paraphilia.
• Masturbation
• Homosexuality
• Transsexualism
• Abortion
• Cigarette smoking
• Pornography
• Self-Injury/Suicide
• Eating Disorders
• Activity that is illegal in the U.S. and Australia (Except to discuss being a victim of illegal behavior which is allowed in our forums.)
• Belief in reincarnation
• Use of psychics, astrologers, etc.

Recovery is a place people come to stop doing these things and using the Christian faith to help cope with problems. Other areas of CF can be used for discussions of many of these topics including endorsement of them. Included in this rule is posting triggers to self harmful behaviors.

3. No promoting yourself as an expert, diagnosing, offering treatment of any kind to other members, prescribing over the counter remedies or discouraging someone from taking prescribed medications.

4. No discouraging members from using professional services, posted and approved hotlines or following the direction of local licensed professionals.

Recovery Staff feel very strongly that members need to seek out real life licensed professional services and local pastoral care in addition to asking for support and advice here.

5. No spiritual warfare, ethical or moral discussions or any debating.

These are considered off topic to Recovery. Other areas of CF deal with these topics. Members often get offended and hurt in these discussions.

6. No promotion of other religions or discouraging members from using the Christian faith to help them cope.

7. Be respectful in your posts. Keep posts PG/G rated.

No saying someone is not a Christian, or implying he/she is not a good enough Christian if he/she uses a Christian faith symbol. No insulting another’s faith. No obscene posts, blasphemy, flaming others, or racist comments, etc. If a word is filtered out with [wash my mouth] in its place the writer must edit the post and pick a different word. This rule also includes using Recovery to post hurtful things about other people, harassing other members, disclosing personal information about others, or saying things about another person that you know is untrue. On rare occasions, members post things about themselves that are untrue. This is disrespectful to the other members.

8. No spamming, off-topic posts/threads, publishing email addresses, or asking for money.

This includes making the same or nearly the same posts in more then one area of Recovery Forums. Off-Topic includes creating posts or threads that are not about coping with, recovering from or advising someone about the topic areas of each Recovery Forum. (The exception to this is forumwide and Recovery Forum announcements, reminders of Recovery Guidelines in mod hat posts or threads by staff. In addition, one active fellowship thread and one devotional/inspirational thread that is not directly related to the subject of that forum is allowed per forum area.)
