Curiosity is completely normal, as is an attraction to, even getting a big crush on someone of your own gender, especially during puberty. There is no one test you can take to tell you who you are. Go with your instincts, and remember that whatever you discover about yourself, you are perfect.

You will know this when you imagine yourself with the other gender, with being bisexual you have an attraction towards both genders

It is sometimes very tough to know about your orientation.... but the most basic idea is... AM i attracted to the opposite sex ?(physically) Am i attracted to both the sexes ?(physically) if the answer to the first question is no... and the second question is yes...or bot the the individual is lesbian,gay or bisexual.

You know if your gay,lesbian, or bisexual if you have feelings towards someone which would give the label of you being gay/lesbian/bisexual or if you have an attraction towards someone who would give you the label of being gay/lesbian/bisexual

I don't think there is a clear cut answer to this as many people may have different perspectives on what they consider to be gay, lesbian or bisexual. For example, being bisexual is not always a 50/50 attraction to both sexes. In my opinion, knowing what your sexuality is comes overtime it isn't just a switch you can turn on or off. I have struggled with this myself and from my experience it is important to take the time to reflect on how you feel. It's different for everyone and I don't think there is a certain threshold that you have to reach to consider yourself gay/lesbian/bisexual. Be true to yourself and take the time you need. I know this isn't a straight forward solution some of you may be looking for but honestly I don't think there is one, it's totally up to you how you define it and come to terms with how you are truly feeling :)

It is all about how you feel and getting to know yourself. It is important to remember that sexuality is a brand new feeling and it is something that is going to take a while to understand a figure out.

Through your emotions. If you feel a strong emotion towards someone of the same sex, then you may be gay - but this is depending on if you only find attraction towards the same sex or both.

Sexuality is confusing, and often it's not something somebody just "knows" (although many do!). Eventually the time will come and you'll realise, whether you're 10, or 100, or any other age. Other times talking about it will help you realise, or maybe a specific person helps you to realise.

Boundless, inexplicable love for somebody of the relevant sex or sexes. In the end, does it really matter? Is it not fine that I love somebody? Isn't that wonderful in itself?
