CDC launches LGBTQ youth and bullying website

CDC launches LGBTQ youth and bullying website
Bullying is a significant problem for all youth, but lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) youth are victims of bullying at rates higher than their heterosexual peers.

CDC’s Division of Adolescent and School Health worked closely with the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hep-atitis, STD, and TB Prevention to develop and launch a web page on the topic of LGBTQ youth and bullying. It includes advice and resources on how teachers and school administrators can prevent bullying in schools, and what parents can do to support their children.

The page can be found at: http://www.cdc.gov/lgbthealth/youth.htm
