双语：少年“同志”生长波折路
For most people, adolescence is a difficult time of life filled with pressure from peers, parents, and school. For gay, lesbian, and biITual teens, however, the stress of this period multiplies, especially for those living in societies which refuse to accept them.
Statistics on gay youth illustrate some of the pain and isolation they face. Because many are rejected or disowned1 by their families, gay and lesbian teens make up 42 percent of the homeless youth in America. They also attempt suicide at a rate two to three times higher than that of their heteroITual counterparts, and are at greater risk for drug and alcohol abuse.Beyond an often hostile home environment, gay youth also lack allies2 and avenues for support at school. One study indicates that 97 percent of non-heteroITual youth reported hearing homophobic3 taunts at school, while roughly 22 percent said they have been threatened with physical violence because of their ITual orientation.Attitudes may change, however, as schools are beginning to recognize such prejudice as a health and safety issue. Schools are searching for ways to ameliorate4 the situation, including setting up gay-straight alliance clubs and cracking down on harassment. At the same time, many nonprofit groups are reaching out to provide services to gay and lesbian teens. The support that such youth need the most, however, is that of their families and friends.1. disown v.不供认与自己有干系2. ally n.联盟者，支撑者3. homophobic a.讨厌异性恋的4. ameliorate v.改进对年夜年夜都人来说，青春期是人生一段难过的期间，充满来自同辈、怙恃和黉舍的压力。但是，关于异性恋和双性恋的青少年来说，这个阶段的压力更是倍增，尤其是那些身处不愿接纳他们的社会中的青少年。
统计数据表了然年老异性恋者所面临的痛苦和伶仃。因为良多异性恋者遭到家人的厌弃乃至断尽干系，美国无家可回的年白叟中，男／女异性恋青少年就占了百分之四十二。他们企图自杀的比率也比同龄的异性恋者凌驾二至三倍，吸毒和酗酒的危险性也比较年夜。
除了有敌意的家庭情况外，年老异性恋者在黉舍也缺乏同伴，也找不到追求支撑的途径。一项钻研指出，百分之九十七非异性恋的年白叟曾在黉舍听到有关讨厌异性恋的辱骂，同时，约有百分之二十二的人默示曾因为他们的性取向而遭到暴力要挟。
不外，以上那些对待异性恋青少年的立场是有年夜概窜改的，因为一些黉舍已经开始认识到如许的偏见是干系到康健宁静安的题目。黉舍正在探求改进这种状况的途径，包括建立异性恋—异性恋团结社团，并对骚扰接纳严酷步伐。同时，良多公益团体出头签字为男／女异性恋青少年供给效力。但是，异性恋青年最需要的是来自家庭和冤家的支撑。
