Description

"A federal study found in 1989 that teenagers struggling with issues of sexual orientation were three times more likely than their peers to commit suicide. The report was swept aside by the Bush administration, yet the problem didn't go away. Here are the full findings of that report, and of several other studies, documenting the difficulties faced by teenagers who are coming out, and proposing ways to ease that process." --Back cover
