beyond just talk to you by carbonite online backup
study that was done by columbia university school of public health
they found that
suicide is more likely in conservative areas
i'm not getting that was the fighting in their study what they did is they focused on uh...
different counties within the state of oregon
and um... they looked at liberal counties conservative counties and they found out that
the social environment that'd teenager lives in has a huge impact on whether or not that
teenager even thinks about or commit suicide
it's incredible so just to give me an idea of what the numbers are
well air
it's interesting because that you say how to determine whether it's a liberal-conservative
honey obviously edu voting patterns they roughly is considered a democrat vote against us more
how the role of a problem but it is conservative but they also look at a host of other things
like whether this counselor traditions that are available or not
and and they get a sense of it and then the overall numbers is and it's about show you
uh... lead to
a significant difference between the servo liberal counties and how they treat gays but
also interestingly uh... the rate of suicide attempt frustrations as well right so let
me tell you what the numbers are
other study looked at a survey a of about thirty two thousand uh... eleventh graders
in thirty four different counties in oregon so it's a very extensive study
um... and four percent of those students were gay lesbian or bisexual it found a gay lesbian
or bisexual uh... is youth living in a supportive social environment were twenty five percent
less likely to try killing themselves ok uh... also add the algae b youth were more than
five times as likely to have attempted suicide in the previous twelve months as they're heterosexual
peers so twenty one percent verses four point two percent of their peers there st peters
the study also found that more supportive social environment
also associated with twenty percent fewer suicide attempts than unsupported environment
a supportive environment was also associated with the nine percent lower rate of attempted
suicide among heterosexual students
so let's talk about veteran for speeches
look if you have an impressive environment and uh... it's more conservative needing you
know that is not hoping to uh... thursday l_t_v_ community
uh... different ideas of cetera i don't think it's not surprising that you get the results
that you get traditions although should really be a wake-up call this is m out of life and
death of some of the students so it's not just a kind of a feel about this or what is
your view are not your view on it at least direct consequences for the for a lot of the
students and i'm my guess is of course that it's not just organ that you would find very
similar results of the country but you might be wondering why straight six whether they
have that same from
my guess is that if you live in a
in those papers servitude areas
villas hard tat everything would not just being gay or not would i be surprised if there
was more bowling now i wouldn't you know
any kind of differences
you know in the student body might lead lead to that people be ostracize on the roster
size they're depressed when they're bullies they're depressed depression this attempted
suicide
and that's what the numbers para
absolutely and you know what do you have to keep in mind is that suicide is the third
leading cause of death among fifteen to twenty four year olds
so it's a huge problem and that's why the researchers at columbia wanted to look into
this and this story is starting to become uh...
more and more covered in the media because of things like what happened in rutgers university
last year when eighteen-year-old gation killed himself after out one of his roomates showed
a video of him having sex with another man agee basically secretly videotaped in them
and show it to other students
so this type of bullying is happening all the time
and if you are idea j_t_ nor gay student who's living in an area where its not
acceptable socially acceptable to be a day and you are constantly bullied
well then you're more likely to have parts of suicide eventually is gonna have a computer
