  Case: One of your students tells you that he is gay
One of your students tells you that he is gay. The student is crying and wants to talk to you because he is having trouble "fitting in." What would be the right action(s)?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Rock and a hard place! I would want to be supportive with this student but talking about this could be an issue. You need to seek help and fast. Without rebuffing the student, gently calm the student and walk him to someone more equipped to handle this type of problem. Counselors are there to help and have the training to deal with the emotional implications of this declaration.
