摘要
Bisexual youth constitute a population characterized in existing literature as increasingly visible and vulnerable to safety and health risks. This article introduces a special issue on bisexuality and youth that highlights three perspectives on bisexual youth: cultural context, psychological experiences, and school policy. The articles that make up the special issue explore the experiences of bisexual youth in the United States from a range of disciplines. Future directions for scholarship, policy, and practice are identified.
