School Support Group
40% of LGBT+ youth are kicked out of their homes by their families, and almost 34,000 kill themselves each year. In fact suicide is four times more common for LGBT+ youth. The reason is usually bullying from school and home. Numerous schools have tried preventing this by creating support groups or strengthening their anti-bullying programs. This is why I believe our school could also benefit from having our very own LGBT+ support club.
First of all, starting this support club would help the other students understand the LGBT+ community more. As of right now, I hear many insults toward the LGBT+ in our school. Our students don’t think about if one of their fellow classmates may be a part of what they are insulting.
