Transcript of Gay/Lesbian Bullying Suicide
By: Sean Abney, Chris Fambro, Kyle Cummings, Josh Jolly
Have you ever seen someone being bullied? Do you
have a friend who is gay or lesbian?
People are committing suicide because they are being made fun of
their sexual preference.
One in two lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender
youth reported being cyber bullied about their sexual
identities.
Kids these days are too afraid to tell
their parents about their sexual preference.
Kids are even more terrified to tell their parents when they are bullied about it.
The highest point of emotion is when kids or teenagers commit suicide. This is not
healthy for the world.
People who are afraid to take off their mask are
looking up to other people. They want you to prove to the world that you don’t
care about what people say.
When people commit suicide, they are
telling the bully that he/she can ruin the
next gay person’s life.
This makes the bully think that he has power
over certain people. This is when solutions
come into place.
We need a law that protects gay teens
because we live in a community in which
people bully other kids about their difference.
There are many organizations, such as GLAAD and ILGA that
can help make the world a better place.
95% of teens go online to check out Web sites
and videos. 80% of teens use social media sites like Face book.

comments on social networking sites. 9% of teens have been bullied
by text messages.
22% of teens have lost a friendship over something that happened on a social
networking site. 6% of teens have gotten in trouble at
school because of an online bullying incident.
