Sarcastic much?
What do you think would be a child's reaction to being rejected by their parent. Seriously.
Well it depends.
I find it hard to believe that if someone hasn't come out by 15-16, they don't have a good idea how the parents will react. I mean it's who you're living with and odds are they've been yelling "fag" at the tv and ranting about "gay agenda" for quite some time.
Suicide or serious depression in this circumstance is often as much to do with teenage impulsiveness, perceived helplessness, and rejection by others in their life as well (friends, classmates, teammates, extended family, so on)
The ones who are rejected at 12-13 are definitely at risk though.
But it is difficult even if 18 and you've moved out, don't get me wrong. Holidays especially
