G rowing up is a demanding and challenging task for every adolescent.
All children explore and experiment sexually as part of normal development.
This sexual behavior may be with members of the same or opposite sex. For others, even thoughts or fantasies may cause anxiety. Homosexuality is the persistent sexual and emotional attraction to someone of the same sex. It is part of the range of sexual expression. Many gay and lesbian individuals first become aware of and experience their homosexual thoughts and feelings during childhood and adolescence.
