The emergence of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) in Malaysia has garnered widespread attention from all sectors due to the different concerns arising from their conduct, which has contributed to social unrest in the country. Data indicates a consistent annual rise in the population of individuals identifying as homosexual and transgender women. The surge can be attributed to the proliferation of readily accessible mass media outlets available to young individuals. This condition exposes young people to a growing susceptibility to the LGBT environment and culture. The study also revealed that several factors contribute to this rise, including the caregiving patterns characterized by excessive protection, lack of affection and attention, as well as the presence of orphans. Additionally, symptoms of bullying at school, particularly, and the labels assigned by their peers further contribute to this phenomenon. Exposure to pornographic content also exacerbates these symptoms experienced by the LGBT community. Therefore, this study has been conducted to investigate the process of transformation undertaken by LGBT-at-risk kids in order to reconnect with their natural state. The researchers choose to employ qualitative and in-depth interviews as the primary tools in order to delve into the informant's authentic experience. The study revealed that a secure and consistent existence inside a family structure is a fundamental catalyst for inciting the desire to make a transformation. Fostering positive ties with the local community also aids in the reintegration of LGBT-at-risk adolescents into society. The utilization of these components facilitates the retention process in the transformations experienced by LGBT at-risk adolescents. In addition to religious education, relationships, love, and the preservation of momentum, the development of personality and the cultivation of good values also have a significant role in preventing young individuals from reverting back to the LGBT community.
