There was an event in Rochester Monday night aimed at supporting young victims of bullying in the Rochester area. The Gay Alliance of Genesee Valley held a community forum to discuss suicide prevention.

They say the death of Jamey Rodemeyer outside Buffalo last month has revitalized efforts to convince teenagers, whether they're gay or not, that they have a place to turn to.

There are resources on the web for teens who feel like they're being targeted. We have posted a few of them below.
