Teen bi/les girls?

LegacyUser

I'm 15 and I'm bi, but I'm not quite sure. Ive thought I was bi for years but now I think I'm just lesbian:) i haven't come out to many of my friends or any of my family and honestly I'm happy with only a few people knowing. But I just want to talk to some bi/les girls around my age. My guidance counsellor told me about some group like ladybirds of ladybugs or something. But I couldn't really find much about it on the Internet:( I just want to know when it's on, where and what kinda of stuff do you do and maybe could I bring one of my friends(she's straight) just the first time for support? Thank you so much in advaceeee, you don't know how alone I feel

I think the group she was referring to was the Ladybirds, which is BeLonGTo's group for young women 14-23. Really couldn't imagine there being any problems with you bringing your friend.

The BelongTo Sunday Group in Outhouse is also another option when starting to come out. They are very welcoming & many members started attending by bringing a straight friend for support. Aim to get there for about 3:30pm. One of the Youth Facilitators will show you around and introduce you to other young people. Check out the rest of their website from the link above. You won't regret it! Enjoy

Ladybirds is on Thursdays 6-8, never been but I've heard good things
If you're going to b2 sunday you're well advised to bring a friend. Its the most cliquey place I've ever been in my entire life.

Is ladybirds just a Dublin thing? I'm looking for people to talk to etc, but I couldn't travel up so far out of my comfort zone :P

You should never feel alone , I mean there are a lot of people in the same situation as you. You should definitely check out ladybirds or one of the other belongto groups. I was lucky enough that most of my friends are gay so it was never really a problem finding people to talk to about what i was going through etc

BelongTo is great. I've been to a few different things in Outhouse over the years, and even just being there and hanging out without being at a meeting or anything is great. It's just a cafe. You can hang out with your friends and it's like being in an alternate world because everyone there also happens to be LGBT. Maybe even just go up to Outhouse before you go to the meeting one day just to check it out if you're a bit nervous. Then at least you'll know what it'll look like inside and the atmosphere, and you'll have some idea of what it'll be like.

Gay bars are kind of different I guess. There's the whole scene part of them. And it's not your everyday environment. I mean, pubs and clubs are for weekends but cafes are for every day of the week. I just felt safe there, and still do.
