“Learning about the suicide deaths of Tyler Clementi, Seth Walsh, Asher Brown, Billy Lucas and Justin Aaberg has been heartbreaking for me. These young people were bullied and tormented by people that should have been their friends. We have a responsibility to be better to each other, and accept each others’ differences regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ability, or religion and stand up for someone when they’re bullied. When a friend is feeling depressed or says they’re thinking of killing themselves, we must take it seriously and get them help.”
– Actor Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter)
“School doesn’t have to be horrible just because you’re LGBT! Schools should be safe for everyone. Through the Make It Better Project, youth and adults can work together to prevent suicide and make schools safer for LGBT youth right now. Go to www.MakeItBetterProject.org to learn how.”
– Carolyn Laub, executive director of Gay-Straight Alliance Network
