I'm doing research for why homophobia is horrible and this is what I found: 18.8% of high school students reported having seriously considered suicide in the past year. This percentage is higher among females (24.1%), and lesbian, gay, or bisexual teens (46.8%) (CDC, 2020). 8.9% of high school students attempted suicide in the past year.
Almost 50% of suicide attempts are from people apart of the LGBTQIA+ Community. This isn't okay. This is exactly why this is my persuasive topic for Law & Forensic class.
