Suicide Risk and Prevention for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Youth | Suicide Prevention Resource Center [PDF]
Cochran and Mays (2000a) found that 41.2 percent of gay men ages 17 to 39 reported suicidal ideation, compared to only 17.2 percent of heterosexual men of similar ages.
The Massachusetts Youth Risk Behavior Survey reported that youth who self-identified as gay, lesbian, or bisexual or who reported any same-sex sexual contact were more than three times as likely as their heterosexual peers to have seriously considered suicide in the last year (34 percent compared to 11 percent) (Massachusetts Department of Education, 2006b).
Eisenberg and Resnick (2006) found that 47.3 percent of GB adolescent boys and 72.9 percent of LB adolescent girls reported suicidal ideation, compared with 34.7 percent of non-GB adolescent boys and 53 percent of non-LB adolescent girls.

There is a paucity of research on suicide, suicide attempts, and suicidal ideation among transgender youth. A recent study focused on transgender youth age 15 to 21. Of transgender youth participating in the study, 45 percent had thought seriously of killing themselves, and half of these said their thoughts were related to their transgender status. When comparing transgender youth who reported having attempted suicide with those who had not, researchers found that the youth who had attempted suicide had experienced more physical and verbal abuse from their parents (Grossman and D’Augelli, 2007).
One study that was not restricted to young people found that 83 percent of transgender people had thought about suicide and 54 percent had attempted it (Dean et al., 2000). In another study that surveyed transgender people of all ages, about one third (30.1 percent) of respondents reported at least one suicide attempt (Kenagy, 2005). A study of transgender people over the age of 18 found that 32 percent had attempted suicide. This study found that the risk factors associated with attempted suicide among transgender people were younger age (under 25), depression or a history of substance abuse, forced sex, and gender-based victimization and discrimination (Clements-Nolle, Marx, & Katz, 2006). Although these studies were not restricted to youth, all of them found high attempt rates for transgender people.
I think that it is crazy that even though we are transitioning as a country that most of the world and people are still so evil. They discriminate on the unknown and assume things that are never true. We are all human and deserve to live an enjoyable life. Somebody will always accept you for who you are. Its just up to you to be patient enough to find them.
