  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!)
A councilor would probably be the best person to refer him to. Being gay is obviously not an issue but if he is being bullied because of it then the students who are bullying him could be a real problem. The best thing to do would be to reassure the student and comfort him in a way that is appropriate and then refer him to the councilor.

Comments: Comforting the student to help them calm down and stop crying would help reassure the student that there are people here to help him. The counselor is there to deal with situations such as this one, they are specifically trained to handle it appropriately while the teachers are not.
