How many children are going to continue to be driven to suicide because of school bullying because of their sexual orientation/gender identity (actual or perceived)? Anti-bullying laws exist in states and school districts in order to create safer spaces for children, but ultimately parents, teachers and administrators need to take the ramifications of the behavior of bullies and the bullied seriously to stop the deaths.
