What is my sexuality? (I'm a girl)

I've known for a while that something has been up with my sexuality. I go to an all girls school so I've never had much exposure to men. I remember I'd look at videos of girls kissing in as early as grade six just for curiosity and I'd enjoy it? But I wasn't sure about my feelings. In grade seven, my friend was also bisexual and we were very close, and she had a thing for me but we were both naive and unsure and I also at that time, had a huge thing for this guy. I couldn't commit to my bisexual friend because I knew that I had some kinds of feelings for this guy and I couldn't make myself love her. I ended up confessing to the guy but he rejected me, but now I think I was just desperate. In grade eight, new girls game into our grade and I remember having crushes here and there on different girls and it drove me insane. Even to the point of obsession over them, but I hadn't accepted my feelings so I just made excuses like "Oh this is just a one time thing", "I'm straight but I have this exception for this one girl..". Just recently, I've been condoning the fact I may be entirely gay? I like girls and can connect to them emotionally, I'm not sure about sexually but maybe if I loved them enough.

And for guys, I'm not attracted to them emotionally but I think I might be physically... The thing is, I am very certain I am attracted to girls but for some odd reason, guy's dicks turn me on (when they're hard). I think I may have penis envy... I can only get off to seeing a dick, or imagining that I have one. I don't necessarily want to suck it or anything, but I like the idea of having one. (I really don't want it to be that way for the rest of my life though, which may affect future relationships I want to have with women. How can I stop this penis envy, and getting off by imagining I have a dick?)

So the main question here is, am I bisexual, or gay?

And for my penis envy case, does that make me transgender, or just envious? Will the envy affect me for the rest of my life?

I am so confused. I want to come out to people but I can't because I don't even know what I'm coming out as. I like girls but I get turned on by penises.

@throwaway2018,
You are you. And that doesn't need a label (no matter how convenient or affirming or normalizing you might think it is).

So be yourself. And spend time around all kinds of people. Gay, straight, male, female, trans, bi, etc. Make friends. Have relationships if you want them. Have sex if you want to (safely, I hope - please protect yourself from pregnancy and STDs).

Give it a while before you decide on anything or feel the need to come out to anyone. Have a life and don't pressure yourself to make a decision on this.

@throwaway2018,
The flood of hormones during your teen years makes for all sort of confusion. Don't worry about coming up with a label and certainly don't let other people lable you. Be you, have friends, have fun, and be safe!
