QUESTION: What More Do We Need To Do To Help Bullied LGBT Youth?

QUESTION: What More Do We Need To Do To Help Bullied LGBT Youth?

With the tragic suicide death of bullied Iowa gay teen Kenneth James
Weishuhn, 14, the subject of gay-teen bullying and suicide has come
back to the forefront—if it ever, in fact, left.

What more do we need to do to help bullied LGBT youth?
As the statistics mount, many are saying things like It Gets Better,
the Trevor Project and even in-school anti-bullying programs are not
enough. But if that's true, what should we be doing?

Is it a question of more interventions from parents, teachers and
administrators? Stiffer penalties for bullies?

Or are all the news reports, vigils and celebrity statements in effect
glamorizing suicide? Should we be giving gay youth some tough love?.

What's your take on it? Share with the group.
