but you must not underestimate what kids at an early age think granted not all kids are sensible

I'm not going to ask what your sexual orientation is - unless you want to share [edit]: reading you post again, it looks like you are sharing your sexuallity
.
I don't know whether at age 13 I would have been 100% certain. I certainly assumed myself to be hetreosexual at that age, and would have said I was had anybody asked. That assumption has turned out to be correct.
I did read somewhere that a group of scientists had determined that the average person doesn't determine their sexuality with absolute certainty until they are at least 21-years-old (!). How on earth you go about carrying out that sort of research, I don't know.
While I accept there are going to be some kids who may have a pretty good idea at a young age (and if that idea is their final determination, the perhaps they would argue that they knew for certain at that age), there are also going to be others who wouldn't be absolutely certain. This school is, some some respects, forcing children to make this decision - and make it publically.
