A They are challenged to develop identities with few role models.
explanation

Youth who are not heterosexual and/or gender conforming face the same developmental tasks as their peers. However, they also face additional challenges that are different from their peers, such as the need to develop an identity with few role models. They may have poor self-image; experience harassment, family rejection, stigma, or social isolation; or engage in self-harm or risky behavior. They are often taunted and bullied, resulting in greater risk for mental and physical health complications compared with their peers.
