When I was in high school, and already openly bisexual, a girl I knew came up to me and asked me, "Do you think I should be bi?". My first response was to be completely dumbfounded that the question had even been asked. After a moment I asked her why she was asking; her response was that she liked to go to parties and clubs and drop extacy, after which she would make out with other girls. It seemed to make them happy, and to make the men/boys around her happy. My response was very simple. Would you do this sober? Her answer was a definite no. I told her I though that she had found her answer, but that sexuality is not the kind of thing you really ask advice on. What another person thinks you should be is not the issue.
I am curious as to whether anybody else has had an experience similar to this and what reaction they may have had. I am still frustrated when remembering this because I ran into a lot of girl when I was younger who were doing similar things, just making out with each other for attention, because they thought it would make them more desirable.
I have no qualms with anybody who is genuinely attracted to somebody doing what they please, but when it becomes an issue of whether or not it is going to raise your social standing if you make out or participate in sex acts with another person .... it sets a really bad standard. It also reinforces the argument for those who are closed minded, that anything other than heterosexuality is a phase, or a cry for attention and nothing more.
