Emotions

Everybody has a right to a happy, healthy life. However, some people who are gay, bisexual or unsure about their sexuality may grow up with a sense of low self esteem and low expectations of what they are entitled to. Life can often be more difficult for LGBT people. Some can become lonely and depressed, develop eating disorders or self-harm. In fact the suicide rate is higher among gay teenagers.

If you are feeling confused or low it can be helpful to talk to someone and share your concerns. There is a lot of support for LGBT people. The links below will provide you with more detailed information.
