A recent study reveals that acceptance of homosexuality among Dutch boys has dropped to 22 percent, while girls' mental health continues to deteriorate significantly. The research indicates that 43 percent of secondary school girls now report emotional problems, up from 29 percent in 2017. Researchers attribute these trends partly to social media influences and note that younger generations perceive school climates as less safe for LGBTQ+ students compared to previous years.
