Hello, new poster here. My 11 year old daughter has recently told me she is interested in girls. She felt this was a big burden and didn’t know how to tell her family. After doing so, she seems more relaxed and open about there thoughts and feelings. As her father, I chose to support her in all her life choices and decisions. I want her to be happy being her. Why question is, I think she feels lonely and confused. I would like to know if there are groups or pages where she can talk to other kids her age with similar experiences. Thank you.
Not sure online groups as most age limits are 13 up. Is there a local lgbtqia+ youth service near by?
My concern would be that she is 11 and the support that you’re looking for seems to be online based/ social media. Would you feel comfortable to make her an account like on instagram for instance as some lgbt youth run group chats sometimes and she could join some but you could monitor her online safety.
Welcome to Empty Closets. It is wonderful when parents come for advice. There is a sub forum you might want to read, called “For Parents and Family Members”. I’m confused about the way you signed up. You are listed as a 13 year old girl. Was this to match your daughter? You can have a profile changed to match you as the parent instead.
