Is it normal for me to feel worried about my younger brother?

Recently my brother came out as gay to me, he is only 12 and just started high school. At first I was happy for him since ive always had a feeling that he was but last night i was upset since i realized all the discrimination he will have to put up with. I want him to be happy but i also want him to be careful. Should i be worrying so much? And should i tell him to be less open for awhile to avoid being bullied?

    Well, I think that you're being a great older sibling for worrying about him. I honestly think that your brother will probably face some discrimination, kids are cruel. I would suggest that you sit down and talk with him about what your anxieties are and how you will always be there for him if he needs it.
