The process of declaring a homosexual identity is often referred to as "coming out." This is not always an easy process. Some adolescents may feel like they have to pretend to feel things because they do not to fit in with their social group, family, or community. They might also feel that they must deny who they are or hide an important part of themselves for fear of prejudice, discrimination, rejection, or violence. Because it may not be easy to find someone to talk to, confide in, or trust, adolescents may experience a number of emotional problems such as anxiety and depression. It is important to acquire knowledge about how best to assist adolescents facing this decision.
In your text, you read about David. Recall that David is the center fielder on the Jefferson High varsity baseball team. His father, David Sr., is the varsity soccer coach at the same school, and his mom is a nurse. He has a younger sister whom he describes as "perfect." He sees the school social worker to get help with what is bothering him. He tells the social worker that he is gay, but no one knows because he "acts straight when around his teammates and others in school." He would like to express how he really feels but does not know how it will be perceived by his family and peers.
