Although I had known from a very young age, I really struggled to come out, because I had to contend with a lot of pressure to conform to feminine stereotypes and be ‘girlier’.I strongly believe it would be a good thing if young people are educated from a young age about what it means to be LGBT, as it really wasn’t until I met more understanding people my own age that I started to feel and become more accepted.
Those who identify as LGBT tend to have a feeling about it from a young age, but if there’s no education available or existing knowledge of others experiencing similar emotions, many young people just suppress these feelings.
