Stop telling kids that they’re too young to know they’re queer but also stop spreading the idea that all queer people know they’re “different” from a very young age. Some people realize they’re queer when they’re five and some people don’t until they’re thirty-five and no one should have to justify their identity at any age.

I was actually really insecure with my sexuality for a long time because I had not been aware of me being queer ever since I was a child. So when I was 14/15/16ish and questioning, I used to think I was just “going through a phase” when I really wasn’t.
Telling people they are too young or too old to figure out what their sexuality is can be harmful to them!
