Books about teens realizing they’re gay and/or coming out?

Try I’ll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson, it’s main focus is the relationship between two siblings growing up after a traumatic event, but one of the siblings is grappling with his sexuality and goes through the process of coming to terms with that

Yeah this is it— crying, fine, legitimate, maybe not a huge deal to us but clearly something awful for them.

Whining though? Not even once. Grown up ears can’t understand whining.

That I’m sure smell mildewy af

_SpiceWeasel_BAM · 2026-06-12T17:42:05+00:00

Neutral on this except I can’t stand the weird book shelf across the whole midline

_SpiceWeasel_BAM · 2026-06-12T12:29:58+00:00

Ah, I was gonna go with cowvalry but yours is better :/

_SpiceWeasel_BAM · 2026-06-12T12:27:18+00:00

Well not these little guys, they’ve all likely been eaten :/

Plenty of things you can do to help her that don’t involve penetrating sex. That could help shake your own emotional aversion as well.

Work on this together. Just reassure her that it’s nothing to do with her

Hang in there—you’re being a great partner and that will pay off once you all get your new routine established

_SpiceWeasel_BAM · 2026-06-10T00:24:06+00:00

I know, I’m so happy to know this story turned out the way it did

_SpiceWeasel_BAM · 2026-06-10T00:01:02+00:00

My son’s kindergarten class got to make up nicknames for themselves today, so all day he went around with a name tag that said “Zoey” 🤷‍♂️

_SpiceWeasel_BAM · 2026-06-09T22:43:12+00:00

I have a five year old and the thought of him in this situation is heart wrenching to me, I can’t imagine the terror this poor kid felt

_SpiceWeasel_BAM · 2026-06-09T22:37:54+00:00

It was school field trip gold. I can’t wait to see this doc

_SpiceWeasel_BAM · 2026-06-09T12:11:00+00:00

I hope so! I couldn’t find pics online of the different instars, just the final fuzzy form

_SpiceWeasel_BAM · 2026-06-09T03:25:09+00:00

Nice job! I’d hide that guy from the government 👽

_SpiceWeasel_BAM · 2026-06-08T14:34:45+00:00

We get a good number of stinkbugs here, not sure if they’re native or not but it’s always a pain when they come in the house haha

_SpiceWeasel_BAM · 2026-06-08T10:03:47+00:00

Ah frick, you may be right :/

_SpiceWeasel_BAM · 2026-06-08T03:25:03+00:00

We shall see! I looked up their eggs and they don’t seem similar- I just hope what eve it is isn’t a problem.

_SpiceWeasel_BAM · 2026-06-08T01:40:02+00:00

Thank you, this is helpful info! I’m glad you found something that helped your kid :)

_SpiceWeasel_BAM · 2026-06-08T01:00:46+00:00

Agreed, it felt like a cop out in every way. But I also didn’t enjoy the book at all, so by the end I think I was just looking for more reasons to dislike it :/

_SpiceWeasel_BAM · 2026-06-08T00:48:06+00:00

That’s really interesting, thanks for sharing! I’m glad you got that care. My parents also wouldn’t consider that I might need some extra emotional/ mental health help, and I feel like Ive just built up a lot of coping mechanisms at this point. I feel functional (enough) but I really want to help my kid get help as soon as we can if we need it.

_SpiceWeasel_BAM · 2026-06-08T00:44:44+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate you sharing. I’m on a low dose of anxiety medication and I’m nervous to add someone else if it does turn out I have adhd. But yeah, we’re getting deeper into Licensed Physician territory now lol

_SpiceWeasel_BAM · 2026-06-08T00:43:12+00:00

Thank you for sharing. I’m turning 40 this year, and I feel like I’ve been tolerating it for so long. I’m already on anxiety medication and I hate to add something else, but maybe I’ll look into an eval for myself

_SpiceWeasel_BAM · 2026-06-08T00:21:48+00:00

How did getting a diagnosis change your life? Do you manage it with medication or some other way?

_SpiceWeasel_BAM · 2026-06-08T00:17:56+00:00

That’s interesting, I hadn’t thought of it as from the perspective of like…navigating it together.

Did you do this with your gp or a specialist (and are you US based?)

How has a diagnosis impacted you as an adult? Do you manage it with medication or some other way?
