President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama released a video Wednesday inviting people to participate in a conference at the White House on bullying prevention this Thursday.
"This isn't an issue that makes headlines everyday, but it affects every single young person in America," President Obama said.
The video is on a Facebook page promoting the website StopBullying.gov. The page has a specific area addressing bullying of LGBT people. People will gather in Washington, D.C., for the conference, but students, teachers, coaches, parents and administrators are encouraged to participate in the online conversation. Go to the Facebook page to see the video.
