LGBT Bullying

Compared to their heterosexual peers, some LGBT kids, teens and young adults are at increased risk for bullying, teasing, harassment, physical assault, and suicide-related behaviors.

Young LGBT individuals may be bullied as a part of sexual/gender discrimination and bias by their schoolmates, ethnic or religious groups or by other societal concerns related to sexual orientation and gender identity.

f you experience bullying or violence for any reason, you have a right to:

  • Live your life free from fear
  • Be safe and protected
  • A supportive home, community and/or school environment
  • Thrive physically, psychologically, socially and academically

If you experience bullying or violence because you are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT), or others think you are LGBT, remember that you:

  • Matter and have a place in the world
  • Are not alone - help and support is only a phone call away
  • Can be proud of who you are

LGBT bullying has the same warning signs and effects as other forms of bullying.
