Daughter's Friend

26 replies

My daughter is 16. Her best friend is a lovely girl and, because of their friendship, I'm now quite friendly with the girl's mum.

My daughter let it slip some while ago that her best friend is gay. It's no big deal but I've not mentioned it in front of her and she hasn't told her parents yet.

I know the friend she is struggling with things at the moment for various reasons including imminent GCSEs etc. My daughter thinks her friend would benefit from telling her parents about her sexuality as that would be one less thing for her to "worry about". They would be hugely supportive.

I'm not meant to know, but should my daughter encourage her friend to tell her parents or do we just keep out of it?

Another vote for no. The only time I have got involved is when it was a safeguarding issue rather than a sexuality issue. Chances are the mum has already guessed.
