As adolescents, many teenagers do stupid things in order to fight their parents.  This may be one of those things.  In order to fit in with certain peer groups (theater groups are particularly susceptible to this, although not uniquely so), students may declare themselves to be bisexual or gay.  They then feel obligated to follow through with these declarations.

Many youth are pressured into adopting homosexual behaviours and traits by the desire to fit in, or be 'cool'. Television programs such as [[Queer Eye for the Straight Guy]] cultivate a myth that homosexual style is a desirable fashion. Among impressionable youth, fashion trends and the associated ideologies are important sources of popularity and individuals may be ridiculed and ostracized for not conforming. The '[[metrosexual]]' trend is an example of heterosexual youth who bow to the homosexual fashion but do not go as far as participating in [[immorality]].
