The Youth Group Intervention
My name is Olivia. I live in North Carolina. When I was 14 one of my friends outed me to the entire church that I was going to at the time. And the Youth Group decided to call a “meeting.” We went to a local coffee shop and proceeded with the “Meeting.” The youth leader was shaky and fidgety, and kept saying things like “we hear you want to be a lesbian.” Like it was something I was aspiring to do or be.
Luckily the Assistant Pastor was there and ended up sticking up for me. I no longer go to that church or any church in fact. Because I no longer felt safe. WE NEED to stand up and help the youth as much as we can. So that present and future youth aren’t put in a situation where they feel unsafe. I hope my story helps in some way shape or form.
