It’s essential that young people develop empathy for those who are different to them. This resource examines the short story of a teenage boy who transitioned to a female. Although he had shown multiple signs throughout the school year that he was born a male, but had no intention to live as one, he encountered scrutiny, bullying, unacceptance, and rejection. Readers are left with a better understanding of how lack of empathy, kindness, and acceptance can affect an LGBTQ+ individual's emotions, feelings, and sense of being.

Many LGBTQ+ students will find themselves struggling with the unknown. The way in which students respond to LGBTQ+ identities and relationships could provide key support and understanding for their peers. Within our classrooms, we may have teens who are discovering their own sexual identity. This resource, and story, highlights the importance and need for acceptance and support towards an LGBTQ individual's coming out journey.
