Adolescence (12-18 years)

The bullying of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth in schools is a significant problem in the United States.

LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) youth are often victims of school-based violence, discrimination, and harassment. This study surveyed 24 attendees of the Safe Schools Summit regarding their experiences with victimization and the benefit of participating in the Summit.

This study examined the relationship between continuing bonds (CBs) among 50 bereaved youth (ages 11–17) and their bereaved adult caregivers, and predictors of CBs among youth. Results indicated there was not a significant relationship between caregiver CB and youth CB.

Youth often experience continuing bonds (i.e., ongoing relationship to the deceased) after a family member's death; however, little is known about factors that can predict youth continuing bonds.
