Many times they off themselves because the law is closing in on them for child rape investigations.
Homosexuality is a mental disorder.
Then add in adolescence. A perfect storm of doubt and confusion.
“News” is right.
Then add in adolescence. A perfect storm of doubt and confusion.
Then add in the current conventional "wisdom" that homosexuality cannot be changed, that their situation is hopeless, and the despair is compounded by 3.
Good. Between the inherent infertility of homos and the elevated suicide rate, the gene pool is self-cleansing.
May be LGBTABC? They’re inflating the numbers.
Secondarily, there is a strong overlap between mental illness and suicide. People who deny their biological sex often have other mental illnesses, and having the sex change surgery doesn’t fix that dysphoria OR other mental illnesses. By failing to treat their mental illnesses in an effective manner, the dosing with hormones and cross-dressing probably increases the suicide rate of these kids.
Third, there is a strong correlation between molestation and becoming homosexual.
Comparative data of childhood and adolescence molestation in heterosexual and homosexual persons.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11501300
Forty-six percent of the homosexual men in contrast to 7% of the heterosexual men reported homosexual molestation. Twenty-two percent of lesbian women in contrast to 1% of heterosexual women reported homosexual molestation.
When the response to the reported same sex attraction after the molestation is “you’re like your rapist/molestor”, you’re not helping the victim to move beyond it - you’re reinforcing the harmful emotional imprint and setting them up to be further abused. Of course these kids will be killing themselves at a higher rate than the general population.
Compared to heterosexual young men, lesbians and bisexual females were more than twice as likely to have prior suicide attempts, and transgender males were almost four times as likely to have such a history.
Bisexual females were most likely to have a history of suicidal thoughts, however, at rates more than six times higher than heterosexual males. Bisexual females were also almost 24 times more likely to have a diagnosed mental illness.
It’s obvious that they have a mental illness!
My guess is the depression and hopelessness comes more from the left telling them how much their life is going to suck because of conservative discrimination and harassment than from actual discrimination and harassment. And because the left tells them that difficulties in school are because of the way they were born and everyone else will cause them trouble forever rather than because middle and high school are a social nightmare for almost everyone at one point or another and it doesn’t last forever.
I have many close relatives and friends who are LGBT. 2 relatives have attempted suicide and a few friends have discussed it with me. I’m not going to generalize about the entire community, but I do have real anecdotes that do apply to a very tiny subset of the community and “the right” is not the problem. “The left” would do much more good by giving hope than by attacking “the right” and selling expectations of a lifetime of discrimination and despair to members of the LGBT community.
Which would make the rate of suicide for that group FAR higher than for non-LGBTQ
Since the psychiatric organizations started saying “homosexuality is normal”, mental disorders are now encouraged and supported. So now they have nowhere to go for treatment, no where to go for direction. The only recourse is to get worse.
Undeveloped psyche. Confronted with homosexuality, a disgusting repugnant thing, as hardwired condition. Given no other possibility. Do the math.
And what percentage of LGBTQ youth suffer from diagnosable mental illness not associated with their sexuality?
So 3 out of 4 pre-teen suicides are not gay? Can we stop focusing on sexuality and help these kids out? I’ll admit 1 out of 4 is a steep number considering gays are less than 2% of the population if this guy admits that gays are less than 2% of the population.
Maybe the real problem is the fact they are regarded as lgbtq youth, and not getting mental help they obviously need?
They visited Lopez island with their dog? Why in heck was this included in the article? Have pets become de facto family members?
And then they are told there's no way out - you are to bend over and enjoy it for the rest of your life.
very much disagree. many are not hurt or traumatized except in their own mind where they have twisted proper reasoning and are trying to now live lies and have not learned proper coping skills.schools etc now cannot even try to help but just enable the problem in many cases
Many grew up watching kids shows that have very liberal ideas, same sex, twisted gender cartoon characters, puppets etc. Sure there were LGetc people decades, hundreds of years ago but the current explosion of it was manufactured by nurture upbringing and egged on further by media and hollywood or sometimes parents etc forcing acceptance rather than helping kidslearn to cope and reason properly.
God allows everyperson challenges - some are physical some are of the mind. satan is thrilled when people get caught up in their feelings that lead to rebellion type choices and self loathing, guilt, etc. it happens to many who do not choose LGetc lifestyle too. it doesn’t mean many or even 1/8 of the LGetc preteens HAVE BEEN hurt or traumatized it just means They Think they have been hurt and things snowball from there. I’m not saying some kids are not abused or mistreated in ways, but I do see real solid eveidence that it’s the main root cause.

The LGBTQ folks almost seem to thrive on promoting the suicide thing - so much so that it becomes a social contagion among that group. Often used as a threat. “If you don’t let me get the operation, ‘studies’ show that I’ll have a higher risk of suicide.
As the above story states - they have suicidal tendencies and mental health issues BEFORE they had developed their sexual preferences. Their sexual preferences are not the problem, they are a perceived solution to their problems.
Gosh - when you make it a crime to provide mental health counseling to some really sick people, what would you expect...
It is the anxiety and depression that need to be treated in the individual child, and the reasons for it corrected.
