Coming Out, what makes it so diffucult ?
coming out as gay, lesbian and so on can put alot a pressure on the individual. And alot of it is because they fear they wont be accepted, so they keep it bottled up and some for years. And it isnt healthy for anybody. I belive that once your an adult that maybe your alot more confident and its a bit more easy for you to comeout, but when your a teenager and you its not so easy. And I would think thats so because teens tend to be immature and don't tend to take things so seriously and dont take others feelings into consideration. And kids/teens these days have I think set trends suchas what music is cool to listen to , what to wear and what not to wear and whos popular or not and I think having that also adds in whats " normal". And some may see being gay/lesbian/bisexual as "unnormal" or out of order and therefor judge and sometimes bully and make fun of those who are. But the pressure doesn't just come from teens but parents to play a role. Majority of parents invision a future where their kids get married and live happily ever....with the opposite sex .And when kids grow up with their parents teaching them that being gay/lesbian'bisexual ect. is not appropriate and show dislike to people like that, then kids don't wanna comeout because then their parents wouldn't love them anymore and won't want anything to do with them. And unfortuntely for some its true and for others, parents learn to live with a child like that and at some point learn to accept them as they are. As children we tend to look for adults when we get scared or nervous because we feel that because they are big they can protect us. But when a child/teen can't come to an adult because they don't accept the child as they are then who do they turn to? Adults play a major role in a child growing up becuase it who we go to when we get into trouble and who can help us fix out problem , but when we can't go to one then the individual is left alone and that hurts. And for some kids/teens their lifes end in tragedy because no one was there to listen and help. And some don't bother to seek help unfortuenly. I think that the only way this will improve is that society accepts any gay/lesbian/bisexual ect. indivual as normal as it is for a girl and boy to be together. Will it ever happen, I don't know. Can it?
