What should you do if your 14-year-old says they are transgender?

What exactly do you do with this information? What if they are being bullied at school? What do you do about that?

Give them all the support I can, all the help I can.

I would stand by them. The person is still my child and I would not tolerate them getting bullied.

I will tell them at the age of 14 a person’s brain isn’t fully developed so they might feel differently once they become an adult.

If they are being bullied at school I would probably take them out of school and let them do homeschool instead.
I don’t like the thought of reporting bullying to the school because a lot of the time I feel it makes the situation being worse. You’ve probably heard of the saying snitches wind up in ditches before.

Ask if they are sure
Give full support

So your child is in school and is being bullied because of this and you would do nothing?
