GLBTQ: The
Survival Guide for Queer and Questioning Teens
Kelly Huegel
For gay, lesbian, bisexual,
transgendered, and questioning teens, these challenges can
include prejudice, discrimination, rejection, reprisals,
insensitive remarks (even among friends and families) and,
sometimes, violence. But being a GLBTQ teen can also be fun
and enlightening—when you are comfortable with who you are.
Author Kelly Huegel understands what GLBT teens want and
need to know. As a teen, she struggled to realize and accept
her own identity. Her frank, sensitive book is written for
teens who are beginning to question their sexual or gender
identity, those who interested in GLBT issues and rights,
and those who need guidance, reassurance, or reminders that
they aren’t alone.
Kelly offers practical advice, knowing encouragement,
accessible resources, and real-life testimonials from teens
who’ve "been there." Topics include coming out (the pluses
and minuses), facing prejudice and pressure, getting
support, navigating relationships, staying safe, making
healthy choices, surviving and thriving in high school, and
more.The message throughout is strong and clear: By accepting
yourself, you take charge of your own future.
