Comments on: Gay youths among highest suicide victims in Canadian Province http://www.365gay.com/news/gay-youths-among-highest-suicide-victims-in-canadian-province/ The daily news source for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community Sun, 21 Mar 2010 03:23:24 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Morgan http://www.365gay.com/news/gay-youths-among-highest-suicide-victims-in-canadian-province/comment-page-1/#comment-34027 Morgan Sat, 06 Dec 2008 01:57:26 +0000 http://www.365gay.com/?p=4467#comment-34027 These gay kids feel unwanted, unloved, alone and afraid. The province must have zero tolerance for unrelenting bullying in schools, one of the leading causes of gay teen suicide anywhere. Bullying and lack of self-esteem of course drive up teen drinking and drug abuse as well. Teens are not able to handle these pressures. They are even more vulnerable than adults as they don't usually have the financial and emnotional resources of an average adult to just move as far away as they wish and can if things are bad.

Teens are not able to handle these pressures. They are even more vulnerable than adults as they don’t usually have the financial and emnotional resources of an average adult to just move as far away as they wish and can if things are bad.

In order to save the children they have to take it from the child's point of view. If and when they do that, the signs of suicide can then be taken into account and then displayed on tv commercials and other various sources of media. This is a perfect way in order to prevent youth suicide. OMG, there are youths killing themselves and they [Transportation Ministry] wanna fix bridges.
