    Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) Teen Health

    Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth face unique challenges while growing up. In addition to facing the many challenges of adolescence that everyone experiences, LGBT youth may also face stress, discrimination, fear, and isolation related to their LGBT identity. Even though life may get really hard, remember that you are not alone and that there are many resources out there for you.
