The number of teenagers who have attempted suicide is astonishing at almost 10%. But that number spikes to 25% when you look at teens who are gay, bisexual or questioning their sexuality.
What are we doing as a society to make these kids feel like suicide is their only option? That’s what we are digging into on today’s episode of The Dani Johnson Show.
In This Episode You Will Learn:
-
- What we do to make people feel rejected, unaccepted and alone.
- Where feelings of questioning sexuality often come from, and why teens are terrified to talk about it.
- How to set aside our own prejudices, judgments and opinions to stop this suicide epidemic in its tracks.
