Re: Teachers tell bullied kids to act less 'gay' - November 4th 2011, 10:42 PM

I know what your trying to say, but why should people have to blend in more due to being in fear of being bullied. Or why should have to blend in more to stop the bullying ? People should not have to blend in more because they fear exposing themselves will result in bullying and people should not have to blend in more in order to stop bullying.

Also once someone is labelled as gay are bullied for it whether they dress that way or not, no matter how much they change - they will still most likely get bullied, the solution to this problem : punish bullies.

Schools should have a policy on bullying which states what to do, how to deal with bullying , how to stop the bullying, how to help the victims and bullies alike.

But it seems most schools now days adopt the whole ' there is no bullying in my school' or the policy
'If we do no see it, it does not happen' and now the 'act less gay'

These sort of comments the one's I have listed above are the sort of comments a bullied student would not like to hear. Take this from me, someone who has been continuously for 6 years I had my fair share of comments like some of the ones above.

Schools need to be more aware that bullying happens and that when it does happen the school does not make comments like these.


'There will be bad days, there will be good days, there will be really bad days, and really good days, and days that are not bad or good but just simply suck, but either way you got through it and you are here today and that is all that really matters''
