How would you feel if someone sat you down and had that talk with you? Me, if I weren't questioning my sexuality before, I would certainly start then. I respect the hands-off approach personally, but I think everyone is different. The right people to decide proper handling are the parents, and if one wishes to approach the problem, it should at least be directed to them first, if not only. Edit: the above applies if you know the parents. If you know the person directly as a friend, I guess it would be trickier. Just thought of that! The kid will figure it out for themselves and the best thing to do is, when they are ready to ask questions, to be available for them. I had a cousin like this and he came out in college. We all totally knew but because he wasn't seeing it, everyone somehow knew it wasn't apropos to discuss. Kinda spooky in retrospect, we really didn't talk about it til later... At least, I wasn't included til later since this cousin is a couple years older than I.
