Sexuality refers to your sexual orientation or your sexual preference for people of the same or opposite sex. Sometimes it is difficult to work out whether you are attracted to someone of the same sex. Feeling confused is not unusual and you are not alone. "Coming out" to someone, particularly a close friend or your parents is often an important step for people, however it is also something that you should only do when you feel comfortable and you have support.
