A study among out LGBT teenagers in the US has found that only 35% of them have revealed their sexuality to their doctor.
131 teenagers attending the Models of Pride Youth Conference, which met in Oregon to discuss empowerment for LGBT people, took part in the survey.
The fact that all of the young people who participated in the study were attending such an event means they are more open about their sexual orientation than most other gay teenagers.
