bullying



=Bullying and Youth Violence=

Also see Mental Health, Child Abuse & Domestic Violence, Depression & Suicide, Note: I am hesitant to include links to information related to gender identity and sexual orientation on any list in the broad category of mental health because being gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender is not a mental illness. On the other hand, because GLBT people are often the victims of bullying and violence, and the incidents for depression and suicide is high in this group, I am including a link to the GLBT list here.
