In fact, bisexuals are not confused about their sexuality. They just happen to be attracted to both males and females. Maybe some young people are confused in general mostly because of the societal pressures to be heterosexual. As these young bisexual figure out who they are, they will know instinctively which group of people they are attracted to.
