Parents, what advice do you have if your teenager is being discriminated against at work because they were gay?

Parents...


What would you want to do to help if your teenager was being discriminated against (by a supposed friend) at their part-time job because they were gay?


What advice/suggestions would you have for the gay teenager, the discriminator and both of their parents?


You don't have to be able to relate to the situation! Any advice is welcome!!


Thanks!Parents, what advice do you have if your teenager is being discriminated against at work because they were gay?
My advise to him/her would be to keep your head up. A lot of people don't get down with gays. As a parent myself who is teaching my kids to not be with the same sex, it still might happened. They have to be strong for themselves. People are not going to change! He/she has to find their inner strength and build off that. He/she needs to be around positive people. As far as the parents goes. No matter what he/she may be or who they may love. We as parents need to love them unconditional. They are of our blood, our flesh, our tears, our pain, our heart and our understanding.Parents, what advice do you have if your teenager is being discriminated against at work because they were gay?
You didn't say if it's boys or girls or both. And you didn't mention what you mean by discriminate.





If he or she is physically able to beat the stuffing out of this alleged friend it'd send a message. That'd be the most desirable outcome in my opinion.





Otherwise he/she could try reporting the undesired behavior to the employer but that's chancy. What employer wants to get in the middle of this sort of thing?





Lastly he/she could quit and get another job and reflect on the wisdom of the Don't Ask/Don't Tell policy.
Tell him/her to decide exactly what place this person has in their life %26amp; then how much power their words have over their day. Ur child has the right like every1 else to be all of themselves and no 1 else. Ur child has to believe that 4 every1 else around them to (whether they admit it/not).
Ask your teenager to conform to the rest of the World instead of expecting the World to change. Leave sex at home. Go to work to do his or her job and keep the private life private.
tell them to stop acting gay and it will all go away
