Abstract

The discriminatory lifestyle of LGBTQ youth in specific situations, as well as the scenes in schools and families, deserve public attention. This article takes LGBTQ youth as the research object, uses literature research method to study the discriminatory life, school and family scenarios of LGBTQ youth in specific situations, and proposes solutions and support system construction. Through research findings, it has been found that providing professional psychological counseling and support groups, improving the educational environment, strengthening anti discrimination education, and creating a more inclusive campus culture can enable LGBTQ youth to be respected and accepted, and better integrated. Family education is also important because parents need to have a better understanding of LGBTQ youth, and families need intervention services to manage potential family conflicts and communicate effectively. At the same time, the author also hopes that society can provide more legal protection and policy support, and strengthen social propaganda and education.
