Abstract

School is the microcosm of society and is structured for students to obtain the necessary ability to adjust to society as an adult in advance. They are commonly encountering multiple difficulties. Also, in terms of sexual and gender minorities, their school adjustment would face more problems, which also makes their situations on campus tougher than most cis-heterosexual youths. Several influencing factors lead to bullying and violence against minorities by the majority in schools, which include the heterosexual hegemony culture, gender stereotyping, prejudice and stigmatization. In the context of school violence, emotional abuse, harassment, and negative school atmosphere, sexual and gender minority youths are prone to problematic behaviors and psychological issues and are faced with more obstacles in school adjustment, further leading to a vicious circle. This review systematically analyzes the problems encountered by sexual and gender minority youths in middle and high schools and proposes strategies and measures from various aspects, including society, family, and the media, to improve the school adjustment of sexual and gender minority youths.
