Coming Out as a Gay Teenager

Teens and young adults are telling their families and friends that they are gay at much younger ages than in generations before. In past decades, the average age for teens to come out was 14 or older, but that now that age is 13 years old. Although verbal and physical abuses are still a concern for gay teenagers, many feel that society is generally more accepting and tolerant. With the success of gay characters in movies and on TV, gay kids now have healthy, positive role moles that they can relate to. There are also more gay support groups for teens and more online resources. Learn more about gay teenagers from St. Louis Today.
