LGBTQ+ Talks: Bullying! (Virtual)
April 17 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
This talk is a place for you to share your experiences, concerns and share information. Have you experienced bullying? How did you manage? How did it shape your life? What do you do with the anger?
Did you know:
- Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender individuals and queer bullying is alarming. In fact 9 out of 10LGBTQ+ students reported being harassed and bullied last year.
- Over one-third of LGBTQ+ students are physically assaulted at school because their sexual orientation and gender identity are different than those of heterosexual students.
- About two-thirds of LGBTQ+ students reported having ever been sexually harassed (e.g., sexual remarks made, being touched inappropriately) in school in the past year.
- Over half of all students report hearing homophobic remarks often at school. More than 30% reported missing at least a day of school in the past month out of fear for their personal safety.
Join us to be part of the conversation and help create a safer, more inclusive world.
