The goal of this guide is to provide educators with curriculum that compliments the CCBC GLBTQ book list for 2010. The titles that the CCBC provides are for middle school and high school students. The curriculum provided attempts to correspond with the recommended titles for educators to use in the classroom as well as apply to their personal teaching styles.

The following are some of the figures that researchers have compiled about the problems that face GLBTQ youth:      

o         9 out of 10 LGBT students have experienced harassment at school.

o         LGBT teens are bullied 2 to 3 times as much as straight teens.

o         More than 1/3 of LGBT kids have attempted to commit suicide.

o         LGBT kids are 4 times as likely to attempt suicide then our straight peers.

o         LGBT youth with “highly rejecting” families are 8 times more likely to attempt suicide than those whose families accept them.[1]
