Question:
My 14-year-old granddaughter thinks she is bisexual. How can I help?
Response:
We have seen a significant increase in the number of adolescents, teens, and young adults identifying somewhere in the LGBTQ+ categories, and that appears to be mostly due to a social contagion. In other words, kids are being told to question their sexual identity and pick whichever label fits them best.
As a result, there is a lot of confusion about sexual identity and many lonely kids looking for a place where they feel accepted and not judged.
Last year, the LC Blog team wrote about this trend and provided some suggestions on how grandparents can be helpful. Please take a look at these articles. I think you will find some helpful information there.
