Is 14 too young to really know if you’re lesbian or not? I’ve been questioning my sexuality recently but I don’t know if 14 is too young to really understand it.

No age is too young or too old to find out your orientation, it's a different process for everyone, times are different and there's no right or wrong age. Just like straight people can know their orientation from a young age, LGBT people can do that too. If you feel attracted to girls, you can and should feel free to identify as lesbian!

It's okay to question this, no matter how old you are. I don't think there is a time too soon or too late for it, if you think it click with you and make you feel better go for it. You are young and constructing your idendity so it may seem scary to categorize yourself, but remember adults do it too, humans keep building themselves up. You may call yourself lesbian, then change it up or come back to it, and that's okay, a label is there to help you, not to trap you, and if anyone try to tell you you will or will not change, they suck, because they definetely can't know.
