Hi! My name is Katharine, and my friends call me Kat. I'm 15 years old, and I was raised Science of Mind. When I was 9, my parents started taking me to a Christian Church. I loved it until about three years ago, when I started to doubt it and do more thinking than I had before. Now, when I'm asked what religion I follow, I respond "I prefer philosophy".
I was always very connected with the world, or the higher power, or with other people, whichever you want to believe. For example, when I was 4 years old, I told my mom that she was pregnant with two twin girls, now my little sisters, before she even knew she had conceived. At the time I thought that I was just very connected with God, but now, I'm not quite sure what that was about.
I'm bisexual, and open-minded about almost everything. I take pride in that, even though i know there's obviously room for improvement.
I'm also a literature lover, and hope to eventually get a degree in world literature, with a minor in philosophy.
Not to bore you, I'll leave it at that, and add simply that I'm looking forward to participating in the forums here.

@Kat333,
Hello Kat and welcome to the forum. Considering your age you might want to consider rather than being bi-sexual, you may be just confused. Just an offering. No offense meant I assure you. Again, welcome to this global ship.

@William,
Or just taking part in what is a very natural exploratory phase in life, William.
Welcome to the forum, Katt! I think you will find good company here - apart from the interest in philosophy shared by everyone here, there are also many among us who are lovers of literature like yourself.

Thanks for the welcome. And yes, I do know that. I haven't written my sexuality in stone quite yet. But that's what I identify as currently, so I figured I might as well write it in my introduction.

Thank you very much for the welcome. Yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to participating in it.
@Kat333,
Warm welcome to you Kat! I too was once in your shoes, (not bisexual) and it's good of you to desire to go further down into that rabbit hole and discover who you are. Philosophy is sometimes complicated with philosophy but there is a good gathering of many minds on this forum and although uniquely different, we're all learning from each other.
Welcome and hope you enjoy the forums. If you ever have any concerns about anything, feel free to PM myself or one of the moderators. Oh, and thank you for the thorough introduction!
@Kat333,

I can't answer that, Caroline? Is this a "new" phenomenon he is going through, or an established one? But I am compelled to ask if your Mother and Father are still together????????:perplexed:

Thanks DT for that observation. At this stage of my life I can't help but ponder why such "exploration" exists? Did we create it, or is it innate? :perplexed:
Sincerely,
William
@Kat333,
Welcome to the Philforum.
Whether you are straight, bi, or gay, you are a thinking, feeling human being first, and that is what is important in life.

@Kat333,
Whether or not its a phase, I support her. Cause shes my friend. No matter how much we disagree. Which is nearly all the time.

Thank you for your support, and yeah, one of my first thoughts when I went on this website was "Wow, there are a lot of very smart people here."

Lol, yeah. What with this 'nearly' you speak of? The only thing we've ever actually agreed on is that we don't agree on anything.

It is completely natural and has been observed in humans since record has been kept. Homosexuality, bisexuality, and sexual curiosity and exploration, in young and in old, are all natural to humans, just as natural as heterosexuality. Some people take issue with lifestyles other than their own, which is their prerogative, but these are completely natural to human beings - and to a great many other mammalian species.
Those are facts.
Sexuality, regardless of the sort, is something to be celebrated and appreciated. Human sexuality has a great deal to do with the emotional connection between humans; no matter who shares that connection, it is a relationship to be treasured.

Well not on anything philosophical no. We can agree on attractiveness of males most of the time.
@Kat333,
Hello and welcome, you seem like a nice person:). Looking forward to discussing with you.

DT, in all due respect as I have a notion of what is was meant to be; after observing what it has become, let us just disagree, for now.
