Dear sir/madam,

I have seen my 16 year old daughter holding hands with her female friend- should I be worried about her sexual orientation?

Thank you

No. Her sexual orientation is what it is. There is nothing you can do about it so its not something to "worry" about. If you want to talk it over with her, it would be good to maintain lines of communication.

Whatever her sexual orientation is, she is your daughter. Your love for her should not be conditioned on her sexual orientation, intelligence or other personality factors.

I concur with Scot. She is still your daughter no matter what. Just keep loving her. That's your job.

If she is choosing to be homosexual and has not told you yet, she may a) still be a little confused about who she is or b) trying to slowly work up the courage to tell you.

And when she does, she could be a little nervous but even moreso about your reaction. Be there for her, love her, show her support if/when the time comes she feels no one else will be.

At that age we see 'mom' as our rock; be hers.

ScottGem

Most studies agree that one doesn't "choose" to be homosexual.

I wouldnt worry.
In any case you love her for who she is. She is your daughter.
Maybe its about time you had a mother and daughter chat about sex, boys etc.

Sentra

What I really meant was, choosing to accept her sexual orientation. Many can't and live in denial for a number of years.

Sentra

Lol, thanks ScottGem :-D

my advice no it could be a friend thing girls do that sometimes just as a friend thing but if you think its more then i think you should talk to her... if she IS intirested with the same sex well you cant change it the best thing to do would be to support her

hope i helped
best of luck
