ABSTRACT:
The figures on suicide among young people have been increasing in most countries around the world, specially among LGBTI people. Some researches show that a gay man has 5 to 11 times more possibility to commit suicide than a heterosexual of the same gender and age. The study we are working on tries to understand why it has been increasing and the influence of social midia on that.
