Teenage gay girl

[Lotty32]

DD (age 15) told me she is gay back in November which was a total surprise to me (despite dropping hints for a while). Went to her first Pride festival this summer. Convinced this is not a phase. DD feels she's missing out on meeting people, first kisses etc (unlike her school mates who are kissing boys and the rest!) and is not very social. Would love any advice please as I want to support her in every way. Thx

Well, if she wants to meet people she needs to be more social.

Does she do any clubs or whatnot?

There are some LGBT clubs nationally for youth and there may be one she wants to join but I'm not sure they are necessarily for everyone. Good luck OP

Many thx

Wow Troll have you never been an insecure teenager grappling with sexuality or no experience of this?

Why would he think she will miss on on a first kiss? Everyone kisses lol.

It's really hard for teens even now it's more accepted to be LGBT. Totally get why she'd feel like she's missing out and yes, ti's harder to meet poeple and have that first kiss etc. because people still assume others are straight and so of course it's easier to know if a boy is interested in a girl than a girl interested in a girl, and it can be scary to approach another girl if youi're not sure she's gay, getting it wrong could lead to a lot of bullying etc.

Are there any LGBT youth groups nearby?

Thx little orange will investigate!
