TEEN SUICIDE - GAY TEENS 3 TO 7 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO COMMIT SUICIDE
In Massachusetts, a survey found that 97
percent of high school students heard homophobic
remarks regularly from their peers and that
53 percent said they heard them from school
staff members. Another study conducted by
the Harvard School of Public Health and the
state Education Department found gay students
are four times as likely as heterosexual
children to be threatened with a weapon at
school. The same study found gay youngsters are three to seven times as
likely to attempt suicide.
