#2

i've been trying to focus my topic of the affect of dugs and alcohol, on certain groups of student. being a homosexual in a college atmosphere can provide extra stress on one's life however college also offers more of a 'safe space' than almost any public high school. while searching google for 'college and drugs' i came across a number of stories, articles, and statistice about alcohol and drug related deaths around the country.
i also found an awesome webiste that used information from The Princeton review, and CollegeProwler.com that had some unique statistics: at bestcollegerankins.org
however when i searched 'college and gay' i found mostly websites with tips to handling college, and different depressing articles about gay teens who have committed suicide during their time at school. with most of these articles it is unclear if drugs or alcohol were present during the suicide. i am now trying to find books that will tie these topics together.
