It follows her early romantic curiosity, then the turning point after discovering TikTok videos that connected songs, “crumbs” jokes, and LGBTQIA+ hashtags. The narrative describes learning terms like bisexual, non-binary, pansexual, and polysexual, and how friends, GSA, and writing poems helped shape an evolving self-understanding.","WRITING  \nMy Name Is…Undecided  \nby Terra C., Grades 10- 11, 826NYC  \nTYPE  \nMEMOIR  \nGENRE  \nGRADES 10–11  \nPoly: many, several, much. Binary: relating to, composed of, or involving two things. Pan  \nsexual: attracted to people regardless of their sex or gender.  \nIt was always said that I was a little excessive. I’ve occasionally been referred to as a com  \nposer of songs or poems. When I was really, really little and innocent, I was attracted  \nplatonically to many people, ever since I was in 4th grade, in Leadership Prep Ocean Hill.  \nI’m not sure why I said that because neither the story’s setting nor time are right now. This  \nbegan in the seventh grade, during the COVID-19  \nschool lockdown, at Achievement First Aspire. So let’s start with this.  \n© 826 DIGITAL 2024 1  \nHello. My name is undecided. My name is a mound of clay, an abandoned ice cream cone  \nin the relentless sun. This wasn’t always the case. It was the summer of 2020. TikTok was  \na viral thing brought to my attention because of a school challenge I didn’t end up doing.  \nBut my mother allowed me to keep it.  \nI used it for anime and ASMR slime videos instead of school, occasionally posting my own  \ncontent. I also used it to determine my wedding dress type based on my zodiac sign and  \nsong covers. I enjoy singing, listening to others sing, and all types of music. What’s my point  \nhere? A song is what turned TERRA into an ice cream left in the ever-burning sun.  \n© 826 DIGITAL 2024 2  \nThis song, can’t remember the name, was about being addicted to a boy. But it was sung by a boy. OK. It was interesting so I clicked on the sound. I saw so many colors in so many  \ncombinations on many sheets of fabric.  \nThe young man was playing the guitar and singing while his eyes were closed. In addition  \nto looking stunning, he also had a playful appearance. To me, his beauty stemmed from  \nthis. Then I scrolled down until someone else caught my eye. A girl. Duetting with the boy  \nwhile singing the same song was a very attractive girl. Only one thing was different. Instead  \nof“boy,” she sang “girl.” OK.  \n© 826 DIGITAL 2024 3  \nI put on my headphones so I could turn up the volume and play the lovely melody repeat  \nedly until I felt it was time to move on while still grinning from this experience. The video  \nright below it was the breaking point for me, and it’s a pretty stupid one.  \nI sleep on a pull-out bed under the couch. Every time I take it out, there is always some  \nkind  \nof crumb. I always dust it off but when I wake up, there is always something else. The next TikTok was about what it meant if your bed had crumbs to no end. The caption,  \nmore or less said,“You know you’re a bisexual if you have crumbs in your bed.” …Oh. Yeah. I scrolled back to the duet, turned up the music, and actually looked at the video,  \nmore so the girl. Lo and behold, the caption said “this here for the lesbian sisters” and the  \n© 826 DIGITAL 2024 4  \nhashtags sad \\#lgbtqia, \\#bipride, and \\#pridemonth.  \nOK! This must be a sign. Now that I was truly interested in it, I clicked the first hashtag and  \nbegan receiving messages from informants, activists, comedians, artists, and live streams.  \nFor months, I couldn’t stop watching! I came out as bisexual in the first three months since  \nMarch 2021 on my account and with friends who asked. Then, just in time for my first Pride Month, I learned about non-binary and pansexual.  \nNon-binary was a life changer. The idea resonated with me because I was tired of always being a girl and didn’t quite feel like a boy either.  \n© 826 DIGITAL 2024 5  \nIf being pansexual was a new aspect of my identity, discovering that I could also be poly  \nsexual came next. When I arrived at this school, both GSA and my friends were a big help.  \nI began to rant, reflect, and write poems. Making some art for art class, discrete in my  \ninterest and questions. And the questions keep on coming. And I’m hoping that eventually  \nthe questions will be able","cbCaiteE0xG5fL4s","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiteE0xG5fL4s","pdf",22650,5,1,6,"English","en",105,"# My Name Is…Undecided\n## Language and identity terms\n## TikTok as a turning point\n## Coming out and learning labels\n## Writing poems and shaping selfhood","[{\"question\":\"What event triggers the narrator’s exploration of LGBTQIA+ identity?\",\"answer\":\"Discovering TikTok content during the 2020 period leads her to LGBTQIA+ hashtags and messages from the community.\"},{\"question\":\"Which identities does the narrator learn about after coming out as bisexual?\",\"answer\":\"She learns about non-binary and pansexual first, and later connects with the idea of polysexual.\"},{\"question\":\"How does writing or art contribute to the narrator’s self-understanding?\",\"answer\":\"She begins ranting, reflecting, and writing poems, using art class as a space to explore questions and shape her evolving identity.\"}]","My Name Is…Undecided - Memoir | PDF",1787713415,9,{"code":4,"msg":32,"data":33},"ok",{"site_id":25,"language":24,"slug":34,"title":13,"keywords":35,"description":14,"schema_data":36,"social_meta":87,"head_meta":89,"extra_data":91,"updated_unix":29},"my-name-isundecided-memoir","",{"@graph":37,"@context":86},[38,54,69],{"@type":39,"itemListElement":40},"BreadcrumbList",[41,45,48,51],{"item":42,"name":43,"@type":44,"position":21},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":46,"name":47,"@type":44,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",{"item":49,"name":12,"@type":44,"position":50},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/",3,{"item":52,"name":13,"@type":44,"position":53},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/my-name-isundecided-memoir/144954/",4,{"url":52,"name":13,"@type":55,"author":56,"headline":13,"publisher":58,"fileFormat":61,"inLanguage":24,"description":14,"dateModified":62,"datePublished":63,"encodingFormat":61,"isAccessibleForFree":64,"interactionStatistic":65},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":57},"Person",{"url":42,"name":59,"@type":60},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-09-04","2026-08-26",true,{"@type":66,"interactionType":67,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":68},"ViewAction",{"@type":70,"mainEntity":71},"FAQPage",[72,78,82],{"name":73,"@type":74,"acceptedAnswer":75},"What event triggers the narrator’s exploration of LGBTQIA+ identity?","Question",{"text":76,"@type":77},"Discovering TikTok content during the 2020 period leads her to LGBTQIA+ hashtags and messages from the community.","Answer",{"name":79,"@type":74,"acceptedAnswer":80},"Which identities does the narrator learn about after coming out as bisexual?",{"text":81,"@type":77},"She learns about non-binary and pansexual first, and later connects with the idea of polysexual.",{"name":83,"@type":74,"acceptedAnswer":84},"How does writing or art contribute to the narrator’s self-understanding?",{"text":85,"@type":77},"She begins ranting, reflecting, and writing poems, using art class as a space to explore questions and shape her evolving identity.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":52,"og:type":88,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":59,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":90,"canonical":52},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":25},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":93},[94,98,101,105,109,113,118,123,127,130,134],{"id":21,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":95,"show_sort_weight":96,"slug":97},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":99,"slug":100},80,"literature",{"id":53,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":102,"show_sort_weight":103,"slug":104},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":106,"show_sort_weight":107,"slug":108},"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":22,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":110,"show_sort_weight":111,"slug":112},"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":114,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":115,"show_sort_weight":116,"slug":117},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":119,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":121,"slug":122},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":30,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":126},"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":125,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":128,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":129},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":131,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":132,"show_sort_weight":131,"slug":133},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":135,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":136,"show_sort_weight":20,"slug":137},19,"General","general"]
