Q I have a problem. I am attracted to girls and I am a girl. I know this is wrong but what can I do; I can not help my feelings. Am I going to hell because the Catholic Church seems to be so quick to judge? I love being Catholic, but I don't want them to think bad of me. I don't know what to do cause I do not want to go to hell, but I like girls.

The first thing that you MUST keep in mind that God's goal is for you to be with Him forever in the joy of His Kingdom; He is NOT looking for reasons to send you to hell! he loves you NO MATTER WHAT.  Never forget that ...

Once we have established that most important fact it is important for you to realize that it is not at all uncommon for adolescents to go through a period when their feelings towards people of the same sex may be confusing to them.  People often require some time to become comfortable with the rush of hormones that overtakes the body with the onset of puberty.  If you feel that there is more to your situation than this I would urge you to seek out an adult (a religious sister or a priest would be a great choice) you trust to talk about your fears and anxieties.

I will pray for you.
