Addressing LGBTQ+ Bullying in Your School

Advertisement

By Brian Cheslik

Almost two million LGBTQ+ teenagers consider suicide each year, according to The Trevor Project. A recent survey by the organization indicates that “Nearly 1 in 5 LGBTQ+ people aged 13 to 24, and 1 in 3 transgender and non-binary young people in the same age group, attempted suicide in the past 12 months.” Do these statistics scare you? If they don’t, they should.

Educational pedagogy is constantly changing and growing as technology advances, new laws are passed, and new students enter our doors. One major problem still remains, however: bullying. This has been around longer than there have been schools, but it has become a major epidemic in our field.

In recent years, there is a growing number of child/teen suicides occurring as a result of bullying. The problem continues to grow as the times change. Suicide is rated as the third largest cause of death of young people between the ages of 10 and 24, according to a Center for Disease Control (CDC) 2010 report on teen mortality rates during 1999-2016.1

Why is bullying still happening in our schools? What can we do to find a solution?
