It's not just in Ireland, but all over the world, I'm sure, even America. Some gay teens have committed suicide in high school because they can't accept all the bullying going on against them, and nobody knows that they are gay/lesbian. They feel forced to tell their parents about it, but in the same time they are afraid to be disowned or kicked out of family. It is a lot of pressure to go through. When one is an adult, the family already knows and friends accept that the person is gay, etc... so the quasi support system is already there. It's a lot different from high school time.
