N1 - Funding Information:
Data for this project were gathered spring 2006 and funded by the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Data collection occurred in the following time line: • The institutional review board approval for the study was received in March 2006. • In late March 2006 the first author visited the after-school program to present the research project and hand out parental consent forms and student assent forms. • Weekly on Fridays during April, May, and early June 2006, as the schedule of the after-school program allowed, the first author visited the program and conducted focus groups or one-on-one interviews with students. At the time of the interview students completed the letter and took home a notebook for one week (if they chose to participate in each activity). The first author collected notebooks the following week.

N2 - This paper presents data from a qualitative study of urban high school students that asked students to reflect on the experiences of their lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, and questioning peers. The focus group participants wrote letters to an imaginary new student at their school, discussed what they see and hear in their schools, and kept journals recording a week's worth of observations. The writings and conversations are analyzed in this paper through the lens of Foucault's Care of the Self in order to understand how young people characterize their own and their peers' actions and words as ethical moves in the fashioning of themselves as sexual subjects.
