Two vulnerable groups

I have many hobbies and interest which has motivated me over the years. I am passionate about writing, photography and traveling. I have several passions though, one is The Trevor Project and the other one is veterans issues. It is reported that twenty-two veterans commit suicide every day in America. There are a number of reasons why, but one is our veterans who return home with non visible wounds, such as PTSD have to fight a government unwilling to pay us what we deserve.

This is taken from the Trevor Projects website. It tells you some facts about youth suicide in the LGBTQ community. Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among young people ages 10 to 24.

LGB youth seriously contemplate suicide at almost three times the rate of heterosexual youth.

LGB youth are almost five times as likely to have attempted suicide compared to heterosexual youth.

Of all the suicide attempts made by youth, LGB youth suicide attempts were almost five times as likely to require medical treatment than those of heterosexual youth.

Suicide attempts by LGB youth and questioning youth are 4 to 6 times more likely to result in injury, poisoning, or overdose that requires treatment from a doctor or nurse, compared to their straight peers.
