“…Furthermore, Sullins (2014) stated that children with same-sex parents may suffer higher teasing, isolation, or bullying from their peers, leading to greater emotional distress even though several studies emphasized that there are no statistically significant differences between children with same-sex and different-sex parents in terms of behavioral outcomes (Mazrekaj et al, 2022). In accordance with Bédard et al (2023), exposure to homophobia can result in psychosocial challenges among adolescents raised by lesbian and gay parents. This can negatively impact the mental health of these adolescents and increase their risk of psychological distress and substance abuse.…”

This research investigates various formation processes that have been developed by teenagers who have same-sex couples as parents. Same-sex parenting in the Philippines faces challenges due to deep religious traditions that view it as unconventional. This topic aims to explore the experiences of Filipino teenagers undergoing puberty with same-sex couples as parents, focusing on adopting and raising a child of a relative. The study revealed that adolescents experienced various challenges despite having same-sex parents. In our analysis of this topic, this study found out the possible causes of adolescents in their adjustments in society including their socializing with other people, difficulty in opening the topic about their same-sex parents, difficulty in making friends, lack of communication with their same-sex parents, and also in their experiencing changes in the body and its behavior during their adolescence in the care of their same-sex parents. This study resulted in the teenagers' behavioral changes, the majority being the teenagers’ sole perception on different things without much influence from their same-sex parents and their socialization being unaffected due to the environment that they live in. However, these results are dependent on how their parents raised them and how the society reacts with their family structure.
