This is awkward...
I am a guy, but also a 14-year-old bisexual, which means that I like girls and I like guys, the problem is, the boys I like are a little too young for me. (told ya it was awkward)
Is there any way that hypnotism could help prevent me from becoming a pedophile and make me more of a heterosexual? (NOT HOMOsexual)

At 14 years of age you are still developing physically, sexually, emotionally and mentally. All of these aspects of development have an impact on who you find attractive. To ask a question like you have suggests that you have been thinking deeply about these issues and perhaps that some of them (notably your concern that you might become a paedophile and or homosexual) are bothering you. It is my interpretation of your post that you are upset by this.
At 14, with absolute respect to you and your development into an adult, you are still considered (correctly) to be a child and so if you were attracted to someone your own age or younger you would be attracted to a child. Does that make you a paedophile? I don't think so because you are a child. To say that you will not turn into a paedophile (an adult who is attracted to children) would be without foundation - to say that you will turn into a paedophile would be equally without foundation. I would suggest that you need someone supportive and independant to talk to about these issues in confidence and at 14 years of age, in my opinion, you ought to fully discuss your situation with someone who has a good understanding of psychology. Discussing your feelings confidentially and fully before you venture into hypnosis will - I think - be a sensible, healthy, and beneficial thing for you to do. I certainly think that if you are considering action you need to be speaking to an expert in this area - meaning a specialist (not someone who is a generalist - either in hypnotherapy, medicine or psychology).
Merlin is, in my opinion, correct that hypnosis may be of help to you somehow although I think your question perhaps deserved more than a one word response.
