QUESTION

I go to a catholic highschool so I am the only one on my team who is queer. I struggle to be myself and I don't have the confidence that I need to do what I want to do in life. Do you have any advice?

Answer

Hi! 

I know how you feel. I went to a Catholic high school too and struggled to figure out who I was outside of being told who I should be. My advice would be to find your tribe. Find people who uplift you and support you and give you the space to find yourself. If you can’t find that in school maybe find an online group that resonates with you. Also, teenage years can be rough. Give yourself lots of grace and room to make mistakes. Sometimes, you just need more time to figure it all out.
