| Why the hell is a teen discussing ear sexuality on Instagrm. Her orientation is irrelevant in this discussion. She shouldn't be discussing personal sexual information on a public forum. |

Her orientation is not the same thing as sexual information. Its who she is, not what she does. |

B.S. Being gay, bi or heterosexual is not
who you are. It is simply one aspect of who you are and is not appropriate for teens to discuss on instagram. |

So if your tween Instagrammed something about how hott Taylor Swift is, you'd be equally upset regardless of whether your tween is male or female? Somehow... I doubt that. |

It seems to be relevant to the OP. |

...and you would be wrong. However, I didn't get the impression that is what OP's child did on Instagram. |

Sure there are many aspects of who you are. Its OK to post that you are Christian, or an athlete, or an immigrant, or . . . gay or bi. Your attitude just perpetuates the idea that this is a shameful thing. |
