Ingenuity workshop to support

■ Case A
Mr. A (1st year junior high school student) was born as a woman but wants to live as a man. When I think about wearing women's clothes or going to the girls' bathroom at school, I tend to break out in a cold sweat and panic. But I can't tell my family that I don't want to wear a uniform. I'm always irritated because my body feels sick when menarche and secondary sexual characteristics occur. My mother, who is a full-time housewife, says, "If you have any troubles, tell me, I can help you." Up until elementary school, I had friends with both boys and girls, but when I entered junior high school, the boys and girls were divided into groups, and I couldn't get into either group, so I couldn't make any close classmates. My friends from elementary school who were close to each other were separated due to going on to higher education, and now we are estranged. I don't want to think about anything, so lately I've been playing games in my room.

Let's all think about how to support while looking at the map and support items.

■ Case B
Mr. B (3rd year junior high school student), who realized he was gay when he was in elementary school, has been depressed recently and has been unable to sleep and has no appetite, so he is going to a psychiatrist. I am on medication for being depressed. At school, my classmates started dating, and the number of conversations on the assumption that I was heterosexual increased. I try my best to keep up with the topics around me, but I know that I like men, so I get tired. In the baseball club's macho customs, jokes are often used for laughter, and the quiet Mr. B is teased each time. The family wants their eldest son, Mr. B, to take over the manufacturing industry. I think I should go on to an industrial high school, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to succeed without getting married. I sometimes see gay sites on the internet, but I feel guilty and scared. I don't want to go to school, I don't want to live, I just want to die. I'm trying to commit suicide by drinking the medicine given by the psychiatrist at once.

■ Case C
Mr. C (2nd year high school student) has liked women ever since he can remember. When I was in elementary school, I felt like a lesbian! I can't forget that my good friends were bullying my boyish classmates. After that, when friendships with friends deepen, they become suspicious and tend to quarrel over trivial matters and break off the relationship. At school, homosexuality is nothing more than a topic of laughter. Parents are not very interested in Mr. B. He doesn't know that he likes girls, and thinks that it's normal to get married. I met a girl from another school on the internet and I was excited for the first time, but my lover is unstable and I'm exhausted, such as texting me that I want to die. I sometimes consult other lesbians on the internet, but in real life there is no help. Mr. C cuts his wrist when he is filled with emptiness.
