LGBTQIA+ Youth Face Severe Discrimination and Bullying

A recent survey found that LGBTQIA+ children and teens face a lot of bullying and discrimination at home, school, and in their neighbourhoods.

This happens mostly when they are between 12 and 15 years old.

Many of these young people have to leave school, which affects their future jobs and income.

Even though there are laws to protect them, they still face many challenges in getting an education, healthcare, and jobs.

People who work for LGBTQIA+ rights say that everyone needs to work together to make things better for these kids.

They want schools to teach about equality and for parents to support their children.

Some schools are already doing good work by having special toilets and free education for LGBTQIA+ students.

Everyone agrees that more needs to be done to make sure these kids feel safe and respected.
