Friend, when I was in high school, I reached out to The Trevor Project at a time when I needed someone to tell me that everything was going to be okay.
I only called once, but that experience made a difference. It was a reminder that there is a world outside the boundaries of my school and home; that I had inherent value as a person; that there would come a time when I would create my own space, my own identity, my own family.
I, and everyone at The Trevor Project, wish for all LGBTQ young people to know this, too. No matter what, The Trevor Project is here for every young LGBTQ person who needs us.
Hostility is the last thing students need. LGBTQ students deserve safe schools. All students need spaces where they are encouraged to explore, learn, and grow, and LGBTQ students need allies in every corner.
