"The "It Gets Better" Project was launched in 2010 as an attempt to address suicides amongst lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual teens by recording online reminders that their lives will improve as they leave school and transition into adulthood. A new study in the Journal of Adolescent Health finds that this is not necessarily the case for bisexual teens and that a more nuanced approach to counseling might help....

""More in-depth exploration is needed on how the meaning of sexual identity changes for people over time and what supports are in place as people navigate this through young adulthood," she said. "But the findings from this study are very encouraging for gay and lesbian youth."
