We do not know what to say. or we ignore the bereaved.

Do not be guilty of this. Write to him.

I think people don't know what to say or are embarrassed but when someone goes away, and no one says anything, it's like no one cared.....and we do, so very much.

Someone close to me left and people would just stop talking when I came in a room. That hurt worse so much worse than when a few people hugged me and said they were sorry.

Invite him here....he needs Scholar's friends around him. He needs to be our friend.

I just want to remind you to write to scholar@iomfats.org with even a simple hug. "Simon" will receive it

Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
