Is it normal for a 12 year old to get turned on by the same gender?

It is possible for a 12 year old to experience same-gender attraction, and to be curious or excited by these feelings. However, it is important to remember that children of this age are still developing and exploring their sexuality, and that for many people, these feelings may be a temporary or fleeting thing. It is also important to consider the role of societal norms and expectations in how young people may perceive their sexual orientation. If a child is expressing feelings of attraction to the same gender, it is important to provide support and open communication, while also respecting their privacy and allowing them to explore their own feelings at their own pace. It is also important for young people to be aware of the importance of consent and healthy relationships, regardless of their sexual orientation.
