LGBT Suicides
I am still absorbing the truth of the latest teen and young adult suicides. I know that they happen every day and that we seldom hear about them. I know that most of these young people are invisible to society, except for the bullying. Actually, the bullying itself is evidence of their being invisible ... invisible as valuable human beings.
This is a link to an interesting article. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/04/us/04suicide.html I've been reading lots of articles lately about these suicides. They leave me wondering about the multitudes we don't hear about. They also leave me wondering about the families of these young people.
I have another wonder ... where are the lesbians who are being bullied and commit suicide? I know they are out there too.
If you are a young person and you are being bullied, there are resources for you. I will help you find them. Write to me here.
