WHAT ARE WE MISSING HERE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT CHILDREN WITH FEELINGS AND MIXUP EMOTIONS

I promised myself that I was not going to charge myself by saying anything on the LGBT topic but, when it comes to school, education and children I have always spoke up.
Synopses of the report:
According to news reports and a AP report on yahoo coming out of Washington…. it said that “President Barack Obama is calling for an end to psychiatric therapy aimed at changing the sexual orientation or gender identity of gays, lesbian and transgender youth.”
The report said in a statement late Wednesday, White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett said the administration supports banning so-called conversion therapy treatments for minors. This response comes on the heals of an online petition posted on the White House website following the death of 17-year -old Leelah Alcom; where she stated that she was depressed and isolated, and that her life would only get worse. She expressed frustration that her parents wanted her to be “their perfect little straight Christian boy.” She went on to say that she was taken to “Christian Therapists” who were very biased.
According to the American Psychiatric Association they have long opposed conversion therapy, which the organization says is based on the assumption that homosexuality is a mental disorder.
My humble opinion:
Yes I agree that Christian Therapists using the technique of conversion therapy on children are inappropriate because some of these people are not professional therapist and can harm children. And yes again, LGBT people are not mental but, we do know that some are very mental. And yes very young children can get very confuse.
I said all of that to say this if, children who are LGBT and are displaying emotional confusion, are depress and angry, stressed out and is keeping themselves isolated then by God, they do need help from either family or a professional therapist or someone who can explained to them about what they are going through, how to defuse the problem or how to handle it. This is if, a parent or both parents don’t know what to do and can not by no means help their child or children. But, yes these children certainly do need professional help.
Especially, if these children come to be who they have become because of violence in the home or subject to molestations by anyone. With these emotions comes all kind of feelings confusion etc rapped up, intertwine. Long with this, some of these children have medical issues undiagnosed by doctors and parents, not caught, children try to cope but they don’t know sometimes that its a medical disorder. Or that they were born malformed. Some parents deny it to themselves thus to children, some children asked but are rebutted by parents who don’t talk. So, sometimes children are left to think that they are one way or that and really and truly they are not; their condition just needs to be explained.
I have always maintained that if grown ups can’t handle certain emotions about themselves, then how can a child or children with that same problems handle it. No child 9-26, should make life altering decisions. They should wait until they are 27 at least, till they know for sure what it is they really want to do with the their life, before altering anything.
Yes, some people are not like us, they are born emotional and will need therapist in their lives at all times or people who can always help them out of critical situations. Yes, I am not LGBT but this is my opinion. I know some of you are going to say keep your opinion to yourself, but this is how I see it.
