The relationship between suicide Risk and sexual Orientation was an interesting article that consisted of useful information. This article talked about the study that was performed on the relationship between sexual orientation and suicidal risk in a population sample of adolescents. A survey was sent out to grades 7 to 12 in a public school. Some authors have said that gay youth are two to three more times to commit suicide. The results showed a strong correlation between suicide risks in bisexual or homosexual males. However there was not a strong enough correlation between heterosexual and homosexual females to say that sexual orientation played a role in suicide. In general , teenage and young adult (13 through 24 years of age) females attempt suicide two to nine times more frequently than males , but young males are approximately six times more likely than females to complete suicide(Gary 59.)For decades investigators have been trying to figure out the increased suicide rates in young adults. However there is no population based evidence that sexual orientation and suicide risk are linked together. Randall L, Sell. "Sexual Orientation Data Collection and." Abstract. 91. (2001): 876-882.
