    Firstly, could you type correctly. Its extremely difficult to read your post.

    You need to drop the "I'm bi and therefore done fit into either world" line. To a degree its true but a lot of the issues you will face are the same a lesbian girl will face. All societies are cliquey, LGBT ones included.

    With regards to your parents, its a fairly difficult situation Are going out a spending money getting wasted in clubs, which in turn makes you depended on your parents for money in the first places, thus causing the original problem? Re-evaluate your situation and your reaction to it.

    College wise, hmm, unless theres a reason to be telling people I personally wouldn't. They won't get 'it' in general.

    First and foremost, don't think that the Gay switchboard is just for 100% gay people (even though no such person exists as far as I'm concerned). They will talk to anyone who may be confused in any way about anything.

    But you obviously have a mindset against pursuing that avenue, so I would suggest maybe going to a gay bar on your own and try meeting some people there. Or try and ask one of your existing friends to go along with you for support but if you are afraid to ask one of them, then try going on your own. You'd be surprised how easy it is to get talking to people.

    And i think you need to take 2 steps immediately. Firstly, stop the whole going out to get drunk cycle as it will only lead to misery and end up affecting other aspects of your life, not just your personal life. You'll fall behind in college and your overall happiness will be affected. What you need right now is a clear head.

    Second step is, stop going out and snoggin guys you're not interested in. Waste of time trying to conform to something you feel you are not. And it's not fair on the guys either.

    Finally, your words "im not getting with anyone because im scared its the wrong choice" need considering. Why exactly do you think "it's the wrong choice"? Wrong in your parents eyes perhaps?

    You need to follow the path that pleases you and not your parents. However, in order to prevent further suffering for you, try not let them find out about any other exploits while you sort your head out at least.

    Good luck in the future and all it holds.

    hey, dont feel so bad. im bi and sometimes everywhere seems either lesbian or straight and the whole world is confusing and closed minded as hell! im in college too and financially independant and not either "butch" or "femme" Im out to some and not to others. so we got a fair bit in common! But you dont have to fit in with steriotypes like butch or femme (i dont go for either type). I live my life on what i want, male or female, butch or femme, etc etc.
    We are expressing ourselves by being bi, lesbian, gay and straight, whats a little bit more expressing yourself going to do apart from make us happier?

    These guys dont make you happy, so just leave them alone. Dont be scared to be with who you want, worst thing that can happen is it doesnt work out! Besides if you feel this bad now things can only get better!? As regards making friends, your sexuality has no bearing on that, i got straight, gay, bi friends. just put yourself out there its easy! Watch, you up for drinks some night in town?

    ps lgbt is a bit too cliquey and steriotypical for me too :-)
