When Our Children Come Out
Maria Pallotta-Chiarolli
From the author of Girls Talk comes powerful and moving accounts from young people, parents and teachers on the important support that families, schools and communities can provide at this crucial time.How do we support our young people as they struggle with issues around their sexuality? For many of them, the process of ‘coming out’ to their families, schools and communities can be very traumatic.Gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered young people wrestle all too often in isolation with the difficulties of being difficulties of being ‘different’. Fears of rejection and alienation often lead to mental health problems, self harm and even suicide. These young people need families, schools and communities to ‘come out’ with them, to provide support, and understanding and affirmation, and to be their allies against homophobia.Maria Pallotta-Chirolla has compiled a practical and moving guide for all those whose lives are affected when young person comes out. As many of these stories attest, support can mean the difference between tragedy and fulfillment.
