For gay students, some always feel like they are wearing a mask. They cannot let their family, even their friends, see the real them. According to researchers, the road to adulthood for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered teens is riddled with more potholes than for other teens. For starters, gay teens are two to three times more likely to attempt suicide than straight teens. Gay teens also experience more verbal harassment, physical abuse, family problems, lower self-esteem, social isolation, substance abuse, and school failure than their straight counterparts. All teens need adults in their life who can lend an ear and support them as they mature, but gay teens are especially in need of caring. How can librarians help? The answer to this question is discussed in this article.
