How Big of a Problem Is This?
Too often, people fear trying to start a conversation or intervene against negativity. This is not because they do not care or because they do not see the value in improving education and knowledge; it is because they fear saying or doing the wrong thing. However, doing and saying nothing implies agreement or consent with anti-LGBT+ behaviors and policies.
What is life currently like for most LGBT+ youth? According to studies from 2017–2019:1
• LGBT+ students are twice as likely to be to be bullied, both online and on school property.
• Almost 30 percent had attempted suicide—more than four times the rate for non-LGBT+ students.
• 77 percent of LGBT+ teens report feeling depressed within the past week.
• 95 percent of LGBT+ youth report having trouble sleeping.
• 89 percent of LGBT+ youth of color report that their racial or ethnic group is regarded negatively at school.
• Only 26 percent say they always feel safe at school.
• Nearly 18 percent of LGBT+ students reported having been raped at some point in their lives—more than three times the rate of non-LGBT+ students.
• About two-thirds of LGBT+ students reported having been sexually harassed (e.g. sexual remarks made, being touched inappropriately) in school in the past year.
• LGBT+ youth are more than twice as likely to stay home from school to avoid violence they feel might befall them on the way there, or on school grounds.
• Only 5 percent say that their school’s staff are fully supportive of LGBT+ people.
Now that we see the impact of what happens when silence prevails, it is clear that speaking up is necessary to protect LGBT+ people in school settings. As for knowing what to do, this book will guide you through the process so that you will feel confident in ascertaining problematic situations and policies,
