Well, getting upset isn't going to help your cause.
Whilst many teens wonder, are curious, or even afraid of same-sex attraction (largely due to hormones in puberty), there are some who just somehow KNOW they are attracted to guys. It's almost like an inner knowing, which cannot be explained.
But you cannot convince her by fighting her about it. Listen to what she says, nod your head, and say something like: mom, I know you're just trying to protect me, and want the best. So do I. The reality is, I like guys. That's it. It's not a phase; it's who I am, so I'd really appreciate your support.
PS contact PFLAG and The Trevor Project for assistance. PFLAG includes other parents, who may be able to talk to your mum on your behalf. That will give you credibility. Good luck.

You're right bud and don't let anyone tell you any different. I always thought boys were "cuter and cooler" than girls ever since elementary school. My first physical contact was w/ my cousin Jimmy @ around 7 or 8 when we were bathing together. I KNEW man! Getting her to stop really isn't that important when you think about it. You know who you are inside and that's what matters.

Ask her if you're also too young to know you're straight. Ask if she would say "you're too young to know yet" if you told her you wanted to date girls.

You tell her to shut the heck up. She has no right to tell you that. Your sexuality CAN CHANGE over time. It is also PARTIALLY what YOU identify yourself with. So ignore her bullcrap right now and just pretend to agree but in your heart trust your feelings and stick to your beliefs silently.

Strangely enough, when straight kids come out as straight, nobody ever questions them.
