Depends,do you like boys and girls? Or do you like just girls? If you like boys and girls you are bisexual if you like just girls you're a lesbian.

Only you can answer that. A bisexual experiences sexual attraction to two genders, typically male and female. A lesbian experiences sexual attraction to women. Try doing some research or visiting some bi/lesbian friendly communities and compare experiences with others. Good luck!

There is no way for us to know. If you are attracted to two or more genders you are bi, but if you can't figure it out use whichever label you want. You can also change your mind later, it's okay

You can't choose who you fall for. If you fall for a guy and then if you fall for a girl, then you are bisexual. If you fall for only girls over a long period of time, then you might be a lesbian.

If you are a female who is attracted to another female then lesbian is the label for you. Bisexuality is being attracted to two sexualities. You should not pressure yourself about the labels. We are more than just labels. I personally prefer not to label myself simply because it stresses me out. I love who I love and that's it. We don't need to have labels to be accepted. But that's just how I see it. :)

Being bisexual is having an attraction to both genders. Being a lesbian is being attracted to just females only.

You gotta know what you feel about boys to see what you are in this case. Being bisexual doesn't mean liking girls 50% and boys 50%. You can be an homoflexible too!

Only you can know for sure. Being bisexual means being interested in both men and women, whereas being a lesbian means being interested in just women.

What do you think you are? You are how you feel. If you feel as if you love women, then you may be a lesbian.. But, you may be bisexual if you are able to love men the same way. But, you could also be a pan sexual. Which is a non discriminatory way to love.

There's no reason to rush to label yourself. The only one who gets to decide whether you're bisexual or lesbian is you! Stay fluid for now and explore your sexuality, both are great. Label yourself when you're comfortable with it and remember that there is no rigid definition for either label, YOU get to decide what you identify most with and you're allowed to have as many exceptions as you like. If at all identify with a label that makes you feel most confident and secure :)

If you still experience attraction to men, you're bisexual, if you're only attracted to women, you're lesbian. Bisexuality is a valid sexuality.

If you're bisexual, you are sexually and romantically attracted to both males and females. If you're lesbian, you're only attracted sexually and romantically to women. For several years, I thought that I was bisexual, but a couple years ago, I realized that I was lesbian. It's a confusing thing!
