This depends on where you are, how old you are, your school's attitude, the level of support you have, among many other factors.
The UK Guardian newspaper recently did a survey of a few thousand gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender student, and found that 94% of these students had been bullied verbally or physically. A further 46% had been abused physically or sexually while 17% had received death threats.
