Check out this great organization dedicated to helping prevent bullying. Named The Trevor Project after the early 90's movie TREVOR, it provides "crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth."
The movie TREVOR is about a boy who has a crush on the most popular boy in school. Though when his classmates discover this, he is teased and mocked to the point of wanting to commit suicide.
When the movie was aired, the filmmakers decided they wanted to have a hotline for young people to call if they were having similar issues, so they could have someone to talk to. When they couldn't find a hotline, they started their own, and thus The Trevor Project was created.
This is a great resource for anyone who is part of the LGBTQ community who wants someone to talk to. They also have their own social media network, TrevorSpace so that you can speak to others who are also being teased and get advice, or just make friends.
Check it out!
