Maslow's theory of the hierarchy of needs was that to achieve our full potential, we have to achieve our basic needs, being physiological and safety needs, and also psychological needs, being belongingness and self-esteem needs. Within www.simplypsychology.org (accessed 01/10/2017) saying that "One must satisfy lower level deficit needs before progressing on to meet higher level growth needs". The first tier of his hierarchy does not affect how we prepare a young person coming out, however the second (safety), third (belongingness) and forth (self-esteem) do. If a young person does not feel safe within a setting, then no matter how much we prepare them, they will not come out as they do not feel protected within the setting. This then has a knock on effect to their social interaction, which could then make then feel isolated. This then effects their self esteem, as they might feel as though being LGBT+ is wrong, which could cause them to drop out of school, failing to reach self actualisation. So it is important that we make them feel safe and …show more content…

One explanation of his theory from www.study.com (accessed 01/10/2017) "when a person has to resolve a conflict in his or her own life." For a teenager, ages between 13 years and 18 years of age, the two outcomes are Identity Vs Confusion, depending on how a young person has been influenced and prepared.

When a child is born they go through the process of figuring out who they really are, as well as who they want to be. Society in many ways negatively impacts the freedom a child has whilst exploring this phase in life. It dictates what to do, and what not to do. Strong parental figures help shield young kids away from society at large and allow them to make their own decisions without any fear. Through reading the pieces “My son is Gay” and “I like to wear dresses” and Ivan Coyote we see how hatred directed towards children for just being themselves often discourages children from exploring their gender.

In 2007 In an anonymous survey of 8,000 New Zealand secondary school students conducted by the University of Auckland, 0.9% of those surveyed reported exclusive attraction to the same sex, 3.3% to both sexes and 1.8% to neither.

The promotion of positive sexualities will be great for the whole school environment because that might mean that other young kids curious as to who they’re attracted to can feel safe and not afraid of being outcasted and hated It’s very important to make sure that everyone feels safe and happy with how they identify and if the teachers show that they think it’s fine

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Countless psychologists have theorized about human behavior, but few theories have had the impact that Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs has had.

The counter side of my argument is that the LGBTQ community shouldn't have their own rights. They might say that it would take to much money and time to invest in their happiness.
