Developing a healthy identity is one of the main tasks of adolescence. This process is certainly full of challenges for all adolescents; however, the experiences are different for lesbian adolescents than they are for gay male adolescents, or even lesbian adults. This article aims to discuss what makes the lesbian adolescent identity development process unique (e.g., the role of femininity, the school context, friendships) and how this process can, or cannot, be conceptualized using current psychological models of sexual identity development. Future directions are suggested for researchers and educators in order to implement changes needed to support positive sexual identity development in young lesbian adolescents.
形成健康的身份认同是青少年的主要任务之一。这个过程对所有青少年来说无疑充满挑战；然而，女同性恋青少年的经历与男同性恋青少年甚至女同性恋成年人的经历有所不同。本文旨在探讨是什么使得女同性恋青少年的身份认同发展过程独一无二（例如女性气质的作用、学校环境、友谊），以及如何运用当前性身份发展的心理学模型来理解或无法理解这个过程。文中还为研究人员和教育工作者提出了未来的方向，以便实施必要的变革，支持年轻女同性恋青少年积极的性身份发展。
