Abstract
The bullying of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans gender (LGBTQ) students in high schools
is a prevalent problem that elicits a variety of negative outcomes, including depression and
suicidality, in those students who are bullied. This article begins by introducing the unique needs
of LGBTQ high school students and their difficulties. It continues by identifying successful
techniques employed by high school counselors, with the support of school administrators and
staff, to reduce bullying and its effects through support of this student population and education
of students and staff. It concludes with a proposal for condensing those techniques into a one
day workshop that any school can implement as a part of it's anti-bullying campaign or diversity
awareness education program.
