Let us assume that you mean the number of suicides by LGBT students per year. The difficulty in answering this question is that most media ban reporting on suicide for fear of copycats and many LGBT students are closetted. The exact number is therefore impossible to pinpoint.

A recent study in Taiwan claims that 20% of LGBT youth have seriously contemplated or attempted suicide, while a national survey in Britain showed that LGBT students have suicide rates 3 times higher than the average heterosexual. Bullying rates for LGBT students are also 68% higher than heterosexuals in high school.

The harrowing statistics are indicative of society's cruel treatment of LGBT people. Until we can overcome the homophobia engrained in our society and learn to accept these people, we can never prevent these statistics.
