Need someone to relate to- Growing up Bisexual?

I'm almost an adult and am bisexual. I've known my entire life, but have had a difficult time figuring it out or finding anybody to relate to. I live in California and am used to liberally minded people. I was surrounded by an open minded community with gay families and friends growing up. I have never met another bisexual person before though and didn't even know what it was until I became a teenager. I was very confused as a child as to whether I was straight or gay. I even thought I was perverted at one time. I have so many questions for someone who also likes both men and women. Can anyone who identifies as bisexual let me know how it was growing up for them and how they discovered they were bisexual?
