Stonewall Scotland · 2017
This report surveys 402 LGBT young people aged 11–19 living in Scotland about their experiences in secondary schools and colleges. It finds that half of LGBT pupils are bullied for being LGBT at school, with trans young people at particular risk (71% bullied overall). Rates of self-harm and suicidal ideation are alarmingly high, especially among trans young people. The report compares findings with a 2012 baseline, notes some improvements in school policies, and makes recommendations for schools, local authorities, and the Scottish Government to create more inclusive environments.
