Almost a quarter of American high school students identify on the “queer” spectrum, according to government data — a number that has more than doubled since 2015.
As curricula across the country feature “LGBTQAI+” content and “Social Emotional Learning” methods, the numbers of students who are identifying as something other than heterosexual is rising to levels more than double seen historically and even dwarfing rates seen among adults, according to data collected by Centers for Disease Control.
The data shows that total number of students on the LGBQ spectrum has jumped from 11% in 2015, to 24.5% in 2021.to the Daily Mail, which reported that 8% of 16 to 24-year-olds in the United Kingdom identify as LGBT. “There are social incentives to declaring yourself a sexual minority. … There is nothing you have to do to be bisexual. You [could] just wanna make yourself cooler,” Richard said.“Teens are anonymously surveyed on a multitude of factors, from their mental health, sexual identity and whether they use drugs or carry weapons,” according to the Mail.
More than half of girls who identify as bisexual have “seriously considered” attempting suicide, as opposed to 20 percent of heterosexual girls. The number of bisexual female students who actually attempted suicide is a stunning 26% — compared to 15% of lesbians and 8% of heterosexual girls.
