📚 The 2021 YRBSS (Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System) survey results were released by the CDC today.

⭐ Although it's great to see that bullying #s continue to decrease, it is frustrating that all other forms of violence are on the increase.

This is not at all surprising: schools / parents / govt are far more honest with themselves about bullying and its dangers than they are about IPV.

😞 Funding for dating violence and sexual violence is dangerously and shamefully inconsistent.

▪️ Poor mental health and suicidal ideation are on the increase for most youth groups.

▪️ 11% of high school students experienced sexual violence within the past 12 mos.

▪️ % of female students experiencing sexual violence has increased from 2017 to 2021.

Sexual Assault Awareness Month, held in April, raises awareness of the causes and risk factors of sexual assault and empowers individuals to prevent it in their communities.

Numerous LGBTQIA+ studies have identified significant rates of sexual harassment in academic settings. In addition, although research is sparse, numerous studies revealed that LGBTQIA+ respondents reported greater rates of childhood sexual abuse than heterosexual respondents.
