LGBT youth vulnerability
Hello there! Have you ever heard the word "LGBT"? It stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender. These are words we use to describe people who might like someone of the same gender or opposite gender or may feel like they are a different gender than what they were born with.
When we talk about LGBT youth, we are talking about kids and teenagers who feel this way. Unfortunately, being LGBT can make some young people feel like they are different from others, and that can be hard to deal with. Sometimes, they worry that people might not accept them or that they might get hurt or bullied because of who they are.
This is what we mean when we say they are "vulnerable". It means they might need extra support and help to feel safe and happy. Sometimes, LGBT youth can also face extra challenges like discrimination or not receiving the support they need from their families or schools. This can lead to feelings of isolation or depression, and it can be really tough to deal with.
But the good news is that there are lots of people and organizations that want to help LGBT youth and make sure they feel safe and loved. We want to make sure that every young person, no matter who they are, feels that they belong and are valued in this world.
