How would you stop gay teen suicide? - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

otc877 · 17th May 2011, 05:58 PM

If you could implement one change, no matter how ridiculous or rational it may be to help end gay teen suicide, what would it be?

I had to write a paper establishing a problem in america, and I chose gay suicide. Now, I have to write a paper proposing a solution. We're allowed to propose irrational solutions (Jonathan Swift - A Modest Proposal) or something that is rational (It Gets Better Project)

Right now, I'm leaning towards proposing eliminating all sexuality entirely (very similar to the stirring pills from The Giver) to eliminate the differences between straight & gays. I'm not sure how fond of the idea I am though.

So, how would you end gay teen suicide?

My solution? Send all the bullies to an island and force them to compete for resources on live television, Survivor style, to make up for all the pain they've caused.

I would definitely implement a safe-space for LGBTQ students to visit in every school and in the community--in every one of them. What good are accepting attitudes if we don't know where they are or even who they are? The more visibility the better things will be.

Hey, you said it could be completely ridiculous.

Revan · 18th May 2011, 12:03 AM

Pretty much everything Naruto does in this battle, I would do to the bullies.

Going to Dollhouse in-universe for this; Imprint everyone with an 'acceptance/equality/tolerance' personality characteristic.

Make everybody immortal.

Otherwise, you could try any number of things with Big Brother type systems, totalitarian rule, etc. Constant surveillance of everyone means you can stop or prosecute bullies, probably stop people before they do commit suicide. And it needn't lead to other causes of depression either, as long as people are properly acclimatised to it.

hehe, the question doesn't ask you to make the world better. Just to solve one problem.

Get all the bullies, put them on a cage, and watch them bully themselves. Forget them there and come back only when every bully is finished ;D

EndlessMusic · 19th May 2011, 04:30 AM

education, education, education.
and most importantly, time. in a hundred years hopefully sexuality will be like issues like racism, sexism etc. everyone will be more accepting of each other

Turn all impliments of self harm into sugar/fat free marshmellows that are impossible to choke on.

Create an omnipresent Cupid look-a-like, perhaps his identicle twin, that shoots arrows of 'pro-gayness' at all bullies and homophobes when they start being twats.
