You say 'kids', which suggests they're under the age of 18. I know sexuality in high schools DOES exist, but maybe it shouldn't. Just a thought.

People go to school to learn. It should stay that way.
A very good point. Unfortunatly, lots of kids feel the urge to express themselves before they have got know themsleves. The kids who develop feelings for someone of the same sex see it as a big deal, and that it is something to gloat about to other people. Yeah, a big deal to them as an individual, but to the bullies, it's just another reason to pick on someone. I feel too, that maybe sexuality is something people should keep quiet about until they are sure whether they are straight, gay or bisexual. It's only when you hit college or uni, that people are more grown up about things like this - at Haggerston, pretty much everyone in my year save a few were homophobes. At college, to some people it's still a tad of a joke, but it's so much more grown up.

Either way, teachers, or whatever... They should be open minded about who they teach. Period. I've been bullied by a teacher at Primary school, and I tell ya, it ain't nice. For what? Being a bit of a tom-boy. If I was like everyone else in the class, ie, the slag who is on her second child now, I wouldn't have had to endure that. I mean, when you become a teacher, you should know the kinds of people you are going to be teaching. If you don't like it, then find another job. Work at "Gay H8ters R Us" or anyother brand you can think of regarding someones personality and/or looks.

Not all kids. I have confidence problems, and loads of pent up anger problems from way back when I was at Primary school. I guess I was one of the weaker ones eh?

Nevermind them helping millions and millions of people worldwide (I hear they serve more people than McDonalds, but that's just a rumor), they are a force to be dealt with, and we must eliminate all of them and their silly organizations at all costs!
ZOMG, you did a dis on yerself!

Kidding. You also have a very good point. The only thing that Christians can't get the grasp of is liking the gay guy. Haha, though apparently, if its two gay girls at it, it's ok... Anyway... Christians are brilliant at helping people in need, I'll give you that. But... you know the poverty-stricken families in Jamaca? What if one or two of the families had a gay member of the family? Would Christians help them then?

Damn, that went off a tad, but there was a point.
