Gay Teen Suicide
This past year and this year the United States has been plagued with recent reports of young teens taking their lives due to bullying at school and at home. We are asking you to help us in showing our younger generation that "It Does Get Better". That their is no reason to resort to this kind of out from a problem that is going to get better. The first thing that can be done is getting our school system to be more alert and to recognize bullies and depression in our young kids. We have said before in our blog posts, that the stories we hear on the news are just the reported incidents, there are many more that happen that we do not know about.
Here are some of the recent stories from our blog that you can read by clicking on the titles. We are not trying to make this more horrific then it already is. What if you were a parent that came home from work one day to find your son or daughter laying with out life because they either shot themselves or hung themselves because they simply could not take the abuse any longer.
