I can't help but think of one of my favorite Larry Hoover mantras:
"My feelings are not subject to questioning by anyone. Even me."
You are who you are, you feel what you feel. That's it. No other explanation is necessary. You don't have to label yourself, although I do understand the comfort in finding a category to fit into.
Although I'm not asexual, my sexual experience is VERY limited (and I'm 38!). It makes me feel like some sort of freak sometimes, but just sometimes. I know its just what is and nothing to be ashamed of. Nobody knows what its like to be me, and there are reasons for why I live my life as I do. When and IF the time is right, that will change.
Try to celebrate who you are, and whatever happens in the future, happens.
I've told you before what a cool person I think you are. I don't know how much that means to you, but I COMPLETELY and TOTALLY mean it. You are unique, strong (yes, you are way stronger than you will ever know!) and beautiful - inside and out! There will always be people who try to put you down, but they are only doing that in a pathetic attempt to try to make themselves feel better. They wouldn't pick on you unless you were extraordinary, which you are. (I'm addressing a couple of different posts of yours here).
Stay strong girlfriend, you have NOTHING to be ashamed of. Period.
