Recognition is as, if not more, important than support as an ally for the LGBT+ community. This week’s guest is 15 year old Bassie. Bassie came out as non-binary at the age of 14.

Throughout your life you are always going to be meeting new people. Sometimes you’re able to connect instantly, other times it can be super awkward, especially when you don’t know anyone.

Let’s take another look at families. Last week we spoke about divorce, what it’s like for a parent to not be present in a kid’s life at all, and how that feels. This week we are going to talk about what it’s like when a parent is present, but maybe that presence is inconsistent. Melissa is 16 years old. Her parents separated when she was barely 5. She lived mainly with her mother, and although her father was present in her life, it was never consistent. Today, she talks about how that affected her, and what she learned in the process.

Families can look very different. Some kids have two parents and some kids have one. Sometimes parents are together, or they can be divorced. Some parents may not be around often, or at all. This may make kids feel left out, excluded, or even ridiculed. Do those feelings ever change? 16 year old Taylar’s parents divorced when she was really young, and having her Dad missing from school events was super hard on her. Today, she talks about what that felt like when she was in middle school, and how she feels about it all now.
