Abstract

This article studies research on sexual orientation and identity crisis among students during their formation journey, and to determine the support and guidance the participants needed in navigating their identity development. Identity formation is a crucial aspect of a learner's development, and it can be particularly challenging for individuals exploring their sexual orientation. Gathering 10 instructors working directly with 10 junior high school students from different public schools in Calbayog City, the purpose of this case study is to improve the resources available to students who are experiencing a sexual orientation identity crisis. Through an examination of a student's experiences grappling with their sexual orientation, this research offers valuable insights into the obstacles encountered by students. This article also suggests methods to enhance existing support networks of the participants with the help of their instructors. The results emphasize how crucial it is to establish welcoming and inclusive learning settings, offer specialized counseling services, and encourage awareness and comprehension among instructors. This case study highlights how important it is for teachers to take the initiative to meet the special needs of students who are struggling with their sexual orientation in order to improve their general well-being and academic performance. Recommendations for future research and interventions are discussed.
