GLBT Teens at Risk

Byroney_WebMD_Staff posted:

We've seen news and reports about bullying, depression and suicide in GLBT Teens . But despite campaigns like the It Gets Better project and calls to make bullying against the law, the teen suicides continue.

14 year old Jamey Rodemeyer of New York, took his life in September. This past weekend, 15 year old Jamie Hubley of Ottawa , Canada, did the same.

What do you think we can do better to support GLBT teens? If you are/were a GLBT teen, what do you wish had been available for you?
