Bi woman here.

Love your kid. Do not assume that she’s lying or that is just a phase or trend. If it is something transient, it will pass on its own. Let her know that she can talk to you about these things without fear of repercussion. Do a deep dive into church teaching about sexuality, together. Let her know what you consider appropriate physical contact with both boys and girls. And pray for her. But you should be doing that anyway.

Came home from school today and she had drawn the Bi symbol and a rainbow heart.

That use of symbols at that age shows she’s been ‘politicized’, find out where that information (idea) came from - trace that influence back to it’s source, you’ll find the origin of the problem there. In other words:Where did she get those images/ideas at that young age???

If you can afford the Catholic school, pull her now. I’m afraid that if this is happening now, it will be worse when she gets older.

If the Catholic school is a good Catholic school (co-ed) then I think putting her in the Catholic school would be the best thing to do.

In her situation, I would NOT put her in an all girl’s Catholic school (if it can be avoided). But I strongly believe you and your husband should do your best to figure out how to pay for Catholic school and pull her from the public school.

I will pray for you. I have a 7 year old daughter currently in public school (because my wife refuses to send my kids to Catholic school) and I am totally afraid of such things. And I tell my wife all the time that as soon as I hear of any craziness, we are sending the kids to Catholic school.

This is a very scary time and I’m sorry you are going though this. Please know we are all here for you.

God Bless

Strawman!

I never said anything about that. I’m referring to the fact that many public schools promote homosexuality and experimentation. If not directly from the health teachers, school counselors, & other staff; it is from the students.

It’s not a strawman. You made no mention of public school personnel until just now. This thread is about a girl claiming to be bisexual, and whether or not she’s being genuine or doing it for brownie points.

Regardless- I would pull my 12 year old and put her in Catholic school to shield her from outside influences. If the child turns out to be legitimately bi or gay, then so be it. But I would still want to pull my child away from what ever environmental factors she is exposed to which I have no exposure to.

At a Catholic school, at least I know the the orthodoxy of the priests and I would feel free to express my concerns without fear.
 
I went to catholic school: our prom queen was a lesbian with a buzz cut. everyone joked that we had two kings that year. Catholic school doesn’t shield much.

Well, it really depends on the Catholic school. I did say in my original reply if it’s a good school.

Some Catholic schools in some dioceses are HORRIBLE and not really Catholic. But in other dioceses, the diocesan schools are pretty good.

But at least with the Catholic Schools, the parent can ask more questions very specific to our values and determine where the school (or student body) is orthodox.
 
sorry, I just disagree. I don’t see the point in shielding children from what’s out there. It’s pointless at this point. It’s on tv. It’s on the internet. It’s what they talk about. It’s in the music. It’s better to teach our children how to deal with this stuff instead of keeping them in a bubble.

This has so much truth in it, but it’s dangerous thinking, in my estimation. We do need to shelter children – not from conversations and concepts (by all means, talk about homosexuality and abortion and divorce and so on), but from corrupting influences. Those differ from child to child, but we must be alert for them. Immersing children in secular media is dangerous.

Probably almost every organized group out there tries to push its own ideas and convince other people, including the Catholic Church. If it’s something that someone doesn’t like, they say that it’s someone else’s “agenda”. If it’s something someone likes and believes in, they say it’s the “truth”.

And if you want to talk about “brainwashing/manipulating/influencing” of youth, that’s what happened to me when I got sent to Baptist summer camps, and Baptist Sunday school classes. I would rather not have been exposed to that stuff.

I’m sorry, you are missing my point (perhaps I’m not expressing it correctly)

It’s not really about SHIELDING the kids (though I may have used that word previously) … it’s about having visibility to what they are being exposed to at school and knowing (or having a better idea about) the religious & moral views of the teachers, parents, etc

As a parent with one child in public school, I feel like I there are a lot of areas of my child’s school where I don’t have visibility. I don’t know the religious views and worldview of her teachers, I don’t know how she would answer questions about morality & God, etc.

With a Catholic School, I can find out the teacher’s moral values easier and I can at least know that the parents at least share enough values to send their kid to a catholic school.

NOTE: I would not send my kid to any old Catholic Church - research would be required. Personally, I would never send my kids to an expensive independent Catholic school ran by religious orders, nor would I send my kids to mission schools focused on non-Catholics. I would only send them to parochial / diocesan schools & classical schools known for their orthodoxy.

God Bless

Catholic school students know what gay people are, Phil. Some of them are gay themselves.

Read my last post. You are not understanding my point.

Also, I know that some Catholic school students are gay. I knew a girl in college who went to an expensive all girls Catholic school and hooked up with some of the other girls there.

But the more orthodox the school, TYPICALLY (but not always) the more orthodox the children.

I have a Classical Catholic High School near me where all the kids are very devout & Orthodox. And one of diocesan high schools near me, while not perfect, has a good number of very devout students.

Not all Catholic schools are the same and not all student bodies are the same either.

Trust me, I’m do not have blind faith in Catholic schools and beleive in researching to make sure it’s a faithful school - not just the faculty but also the general impression of the student body.

We also have the expensive independent Catholic schools that are filled with spoiled kids who are non-Catholic or “Catholic in name only.” I would never send my kids to those schools

God Bless

The girl already said she’s bi at 12. Removing the corrupting influences is a little too late considering she’s been corrupted. And it’s not like there aren’t any gay students at catholic school
