Great that she came out to you. Things may or may not change. I remember crushing on girls at a young age but I’m married and have kids. Woman are beautiful and sexy (way more then men) I’ve experimented both ways. Woman are drama and to much for me. With that being said I never told my mother and so I proceeded to have sleep overs that got to outta hand with girl friends. Bottomline I should have had more supervision or no sleep overs at all when I was younger. I was way more sexually active with girls then boys.
That’s around the age kids start experimenting and growing into their personalities and preferences. They don’t know what they want, they’re still just too young, but this is where it begins! Give her the sex talk, explain as much relationship and boundary topics that you feel are relevant. Nothing is really different, you’d explain the same thing if she were lesbian/straight too.
She may identify better with being lesbian once she’s older and has had experience, she may identify as straight, or she may continue to feel that bisexual is the best fit for her. 
I came out to my parents at 15 crying because i was afraid… they already knew and could tell for years. Wasnt hiding it as good as i thought 
Her coming out as bi isnt a hige ol thing. Treat her just like you were before and let this learning time be a time of new adventure for you both. 
Do not treat her any different at all… that’s the best support. To let her know that it’s perfectly normal and natural for her to be that way if that is how she is. She’s not weird or different. She’s just herself still and always
I think it’s Younger kids mature quicker these days it’s good that she could come and talk to you
My son 15 just came out to us about the same situation 2 weeks ago! It took us by surprise of course but we told him we love him for the person he is no matter what! My son is very tenderhearted and has delt with Major depression for the past few years! Last year he went to school and told a friend he wanted to kill himself and didn’t want to live anymore! We put him in counseling and he seemed to feeling better for quite a few months then the depression started again! We thought it was due to his real mom and all her issues! She left him when he was 4 and is now a drug addict and he didn’t know how to deal with it but all along his depression was due to him having feelings he is gay or bisexual and he was scared to tell us! One night he asked me if he could talk to me and I said absolutely son you can always talk to me! Again I am the only mom he knows and I have taken the role as his mom since he was 3 years old! To me he is MY son and he knows this! We sat down and had our talk when he told me he feels like he may be gay or bisexual because he finds some men attractive and he was scared we would not agree and disown him as his real mom has! THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN but he was just scared! Since he told us he has been a different person! He’s happy again and very open about it and we support this! Of course we never expected it to be this way and we still do not know what the future holds but he is relieved that he told us and we still love him the same and will support whatever path he chooses in life! We feel like he is still the same sweet, loving amazing young man he was before and this situation doesn’t change the person he is! Good luck momma and I will be willing to chat with you if you need to! Us momma needs to stick together and it is hard sometimes being a parent when things like this come up because we love our BABYS and want WHATS best for them and to protect them from this cruel world! Good job mamma being supportive to your sweet girl! The world needs more moms like you!!
You wouldnot think she would even know what that is. My daughter says tv and society are pushing this with kids. I would not be negative to the child but I would seek counseling, not in a way to change her though
As someone who is pansexual I can wholeheartedly say yes, she probably already knows she likes more than just boys.
To support her just show her love and teach her what healthy relationships look like (regardlessof gender). I am very happy to see parents supporting their children and not shaming them for being who they are! My parents were not at all supportive of it when I was a kid and I had to hide the fact until I was older. Bless you for being a loving parent and supportive of your children for being themselves! 
Advise from the gay daughter: my mother never supported me she always told me it was a phase and that I didn’t really like women, I would like men once I got older where is she now that I am married to a man for 10 years now but we also hook up with women because I want to that’s how we get strange together and it works for us. Not cheating if both parties and involved in the sex. or feelings in general. My point :don’t do what my mom did absolutely support her in her decision meet her girlfriend take them out on dates let him have fun sometimes it’s easier for a girl to be happy with a girl because men don’t often listened and women need to
don,t quite believe she quite knows,she just knows she LOVES her friends
Honestly I think you should treat it as a normal as you would if she told you she had a crush on a boy. I know tons of gay people who were married even before they came to terms with their preference and gender identity. I also know tons of people who knew when they were very young that they were gay or bi or not the gender they were born. It’s a very different journey for each person and the only way we will ever break the barriers and such is to treat it like we treat kids/people that tell us they’re straight and the gender they were born as. IE: “normal”…even though there’s no such thing as normal because everyone is unique
My daughter told me she was bisexual at 12 years old. She always knew.
All I have done is support her no matter what. She’s 17 now and over the years has realised she’s full on lesbian
We have some great chats about girls she has crushes on
As long as she is happy then that’s all there is to it. Just make sure she feels accepted and that she has your full support, even if it wasn’t what you had planned in your mind for her. To answer the question… Yes they do know at a young age

My son came out to me about his sexuality and his gender wanting to change. It has been a whirlwind of emotions. The one thing we do have is open communication. He allows me to ask questions and we are both honest with each other about the answers. I would say, research, research, research! You want to be as knowledgeable as you can. He hasn’t set himself on a path, yet, for a gender change but he knows he has to wait until he is 18 for that part, so, just keep talking
Just treat her the same as you did before. She hasnt changed at all.
