Answer 1

Answer:

At this age lots of pressure is going to be on you. Will dealing with this pressure question of your gender identity or orientation is common. Dealing with these things is tough that's why it is important to remember that there are people to talk to. Some examples are therapists, friends, adults that you are comfortable with, and other family members you trust. If you feel that you can't trust anybody, see if you can be around people who once struggled with this and grow as a person with them.
