— Source: GLSEN’s National School Climate Survey
• Impact: Students who are bullied are more likely to skip school and feel unsafe, which leads to poorer grades and lower college enrollment rates.
• Story: Miguel, a gay Latino high school senior, was constantly taunted by classmates and ignored by teachers. “Why would I apply for college when I didn’t think I was going to survive high school?” he said.
