Daniel Radcliffe talks about suicide, homosexuality and The Trevor Project

Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) spoke out in an MTV interview about how the recent suicides have affected him.

Daniel Radcliffe has dealt with the prejudice first hand being in the entertainment industry and being "accused" of being gay himself. Radcliffe is such a delight to listen to and quips that "People can say it if they want but I'm straight.....someone online even said I had a gay face?" he laughingly questioned what the process was for determining a "gay face".

"Learning about the suicide deaths of Tyler Clementi, Seth Walsh, Asher Walker, Billy Lucas and Justin Aaberg has been heartbreaking for me. These young people were bullied and tormented by people that should have been their friends. We have a responsibility to be better to each other, and accept each others' differences regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ability, or religion and stand up for someone when they're bullied."

"The Trevor Project" which is a 24-hour hot line for gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgender and questioning youth has gained his attention and he talks about it in the interview and he has done a commercial for them as well.

"When a friend is feeling depressed or says they're thinking of killing themselves, we must take it seriously and get them help. My deepest sympathies go out to the families and friends of these excellent young people. And to all the young people who are being bullied right now, you are not alone. Call the Trevor Lifeline at 866 4-U-TREVOR, because there's always someone there who will listen and who can help." Dan Radcliffe.

In Colorado we know about these things first hand with the Columbine tragedy on April 20, 1999 at Columbine High School in Littleton Colorado. Rachel Scott was the first person killed during the shootings and her family has started a national organization to fight bullying called "Rachel's Challenge".

The group goes directly into the high schools with speakers and then follows up with small group and leadership training. Rachel Scott had lived her life believing that she could make a difference by going out of her way to be kid to everyone. Rachel's Challenge challenges youth to do the same thing, reach out a hand to the new kid, the un-popular, the un-talented, the shy, awkward kid, just one act of kindness can change a life and why not be the one that makes that difference. Rachels family found taped to the back of her dresser her hand print with the words
