No, sweetie, being gay or bi isn't a sickness. Don't listen to her, she just doesn't know any better.
This might be hard for you, but I would tell her if you feel you need to. Maybe one day she'll realize that she loves someone that's gay and that they're no different than anyone else.

Being sexually attracted to the same sex person is perverted. It isn't normal. It is immoral. It is a sickness.
However, at that point (having an attraction towards the same sex individual) isn't as bad because you are just dealing with having the thoughts about it.
Once you act on it and carry out your perverted desires, it takes it to a whole other level. Now you are dealing with not only the thoughts, but the uncontrollable impulse that is causing you to engage in the action.
If you want out of this self-destructive lifestyle, ask God to come into your life and heart. Ask him to give you the strength to live they way he wants you to live, rather than the way your crotch wants you to live.
The consequences for choosing to live a life of immorality are unavoidable.
Your auntie is right. You should stop engaging in sexual acts with anyone, until you get married to a man. Then have sex with him only. You don't want people to think you're a perverted, immoral ho, do you? Apparently not, because you are afraid of being rejected if you let your secret be known.
You know that what you are doing is wrong.
It's up to you to "fix" it.

Being a homosexual or bisexual is in no way an illness. There is nothing wrong with it, and people saying that it is, are wrong. It says in the bible about it and it doesnt say anything wrong about it. Should it be illegal for someone to love? For those who say it is bad, wouldnt you not like it if you werent allowed to love your spouse? If you love someone, and you truly do love someone there shouldnt be anything wrong with that. It is not a sickness, or illness or disease or anything of that matter.
Can you belive that came from a 14 year old??

No, it's not a sickness, disease or affliction. You are an individual and entitled to live you life as you see fit. Carpe Diem and let your aunt think what she's going to think. Here's a thought: if she DOES find out, YOU could be the catalyst that causes her to realize LGBT aren't that different from everyone else, including herself!

well i dont believe it is a sickness. I am not gay, or bi however i dont mind people of different sexual orrientations and if you want to be bi more power to you. I don't think you have to tell your aunt just yet. hope everything works out for you.

She basically a attitude me and reported: "she wasnt born the former day". I cried and that i reported that we broke up.

It's not a sickness! lol
Your auntie has been mis-informed.
Don't tell her just yet. Wait until you're grown and then tell her because once you're 18 she can't tell you what to do anymore!

im straight and i dont think its an illness.. your aunt is just living in the past.. by the time you are here age, gay marriage will be as common as straight marriage.. shes just to stubborn to change her ways.. you cant teach an old dog new tricks.. i dont know what you should do since i dont know what your relationship to your aunt is.. if you do tell her, good luck.. she should love you even if you are bi.. im sure she would still love you even if you were mentally disabled..

I think your personal preferences are none of her business. You dont' need to tell her, and I don't think you should as you have good reason to feel that her reaction will be a negative one. You are entitled to be who you are. You aren't hurting anyone, so just be you. If you were straight, you wouldn't feel that you had to tell her you are straight, so why should you be obligated to tell her you are bi?
Stop worrying about it - there are bigger things in the world to worry about!
