Gender, sex and sexuality are all pretty complicated concepts – and definitely not as black and white as some people might think. The most important thing to realise is that you’re not defined by your sexuality or gender. You’re you, and that’s awesome.
If you have questions about, or feel like you need support related to, sexuality or gender, check out the links below to national and NSW-based services specifically designed to support LGBTQIA+ young people. You can also talk to someone from the Wellbeing team at school if you'd like more information.
