Stories for children and teenagers can shape how people understand sexuality long before they have language for their own experiences.
Bisexual representation in younger-audience media does not need to involve explicit content. It may appear through a character having crushes on people of different genders, using the word bisexual, speaking with a trusted person, or simply being accepted without their identity becoming a major conflict.
Clear representation can help young bisexual or questioning people recognise that they are not confused, broken, or required to choose a side. It can also help friends, siblings, and classmates understand bisexuality before stereotypes become deeply established.
At the same time, younger characters should be allowed uncertainty and development. A story can show questioning without suggesting that bisexuality itself is only a phase, and it can acknowledge identity without making sexuality the character’s entire personality.
