Question
Should a teacher have a student ask another student if he or she is gay?
Answer
Not good - anything related to identity or sexuality is always off limits from a teacher or adult. If a teen wants to confide in a doctor, counselor, teacher, pastor, etc. it is his or her choice, but it is none of the teacher's business. If this kind of thing is going on, please talk to a counselor or principal!
