These bullies are successfully getting into my daughter’s head.

I don’t think this is a silly question at all. I was bullied mercilessly growing up and it was mostly due to being too sensitive. There were times I used to cry on the basketball court as a middle-schooler, and you don’t have to dive too deep into your imagination to figure out what names I was called because of it.

My advice to you is to teach your daughter that in this day and age, it should not be viewed as an insult to be called gay or lesbian. I mean, who cares if Suzy and Samantha want to date each other? I certainly don’t, and unless others harbor bigoted beliefs, they shouldn’t care either.As a Black man, I understand all too well that people make snap judgments about me due to things I can’t control.

I would hate to see your daughter quit a sport that she enjoys because of something like this. I would suggest having her meet with a therapist to discuss her fears in more detail, and hopefully she’ll find the courage to continue. Because the fact of the matter is that if this is something that she’ll have to deal with indefinitely, she’ll need to find a way to live with it, not run from it.
