I'm so confused...

[Tones123]

Hi everyone. I'm 17. Ever since I was about 11 I have been having homosexual feelings for other guys. I don't know what to do. I haven't always been like this though. I was always attracted to girls. Now, I still feel some attraction for girls but it is stronger for boys. I am a christian and I pray and read the bible...so I dont know where all this is coming from. I haven't told anyone about this and I don't plan on doing so - especially not my parents. I am extremely comfused right now...any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Your situation is not uncommon. Many teens have feelings of this kind and you can go one of two ways; give into them or not let them take over and that is possible.

These feelings arise because of a SSA attraction that entered through an emotional trauma that happened earlier in life and caused a sense of rejection.

This can lay dormant until the teens and something happens that triggers it and bring to bear the feelings for the same sex. It is important to know that you were not born that way. It is reversable by the grace of God.

The SSA is not the problem as it is only the fruit of the root. The root is the rejection that was created by the emotional trauma. Your responses are an attempt to counteract the rejection.

Think back to anything that happened that ccaused you to feel abandoned, rejected, not wanted or something similar, and then you can begin the process to be released from its effects.
