It must be considered what teasing / bullying can do to the psyche of a child who feels unmoored due to the messages a society sends out, both spoken and unspoken.

In all honesty very few parents are going to prepare a child to accept and understand their sexuality, especially if it differs from the so-called "norm". Some parents come to accept it after an offspring comes to the point of self-realization later in life. But when the child is at the still-tender age of 11 most parents are barely thinking of them in terms of sexuality.

If a kid at that age is starting to come to the realization of same-sex identity / sexual attraction then there are very few who would be able to sift through all the stuff in their brain that would allow them to discuss it in any way -- let alone with a parent.
