Question: Can a Teen be GLBT?
Answer:

It is definitely possible for teens to be gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender. Some people are aware of a GLBT orientation from childhood. For others it is something that only emerges later in life.

It is very common for a teen to question their sexual orientation. Some teens experiment with same, or opposite gender, relationships as they work to discover and develop their identity.
