British Teen Hangs Herself After School Bullying

[DSM4Life]

I don't believe that gay students would get any more abuse then say a kid who was fat or from a poor family. Kids in groups will find ANYTHING they can to break someone down.

Your not gay so you don't know.

[Logan13]

Your not gay so you don't know.

Bullying is bullying. Gays at least have a movement behind them. There are no fat kid or "nerdy" kid movements out there. Your assumption that gays get picked on worse than fat kids, etc is silly. You and Tock need to find a more thorough definition of yourselves than only "I'm gay".........

One key element you are missing. Fat people can change(most of them) but gay people can't. So try being back into a corner with no outs then you might start to understand where i am coming from.

So it is your assertion that only gay people have genetics to blame for their situation?

No, i think you are missing the point.

[Logan13]

No, i think you are missing the point.

I get what your saying and agree, but I believe that you should be extending the same recognition to other outcasted individuals. Socially inept (nerds if you will) kids can blame their genetics for their situation, as can fat kids with a "glandular problem". Sexual orientation is not the only characteristic that is inherited through DNA....

This is the most mature reply i have ever read from you logan ! I am proud.


I agree as well.

Progressive; Libertarian; compassionate; enthusiastic performer of the melodica, ocarina (better known as the "musical sweet potato"), church organ, piano, ukulele, accordion, and several other instruments; piano tuner; collector of antiques and junk; bibliophile; observer of people (mostly men, though); skeptic of theological BS; devotee of Iron culture and the ever-expanding muscle universe; counselor of theives, murderers, and addicts; eBay bargain-hunter; subscriber to a multitude of magazines, newspapers, and journals (in my next life I need to return as a spider, so I'll have enough eyes to keep up with everything); a VW mechanic (air cooled engines); a writer of music; a fan of Virgil Fox, George Formby, Vaughn Monroe, and the Asylum Street Spankers; a card-carrying member of the ACLU and Kroger Supermarket; a veteran of the USAF; skilled with the straight razor (the only way that REAL men shave); and patron of the All-You-Can-Hold-Down-Lunchtime-Special at the local cafeteria --- that's just part of how I define myself. Usually topics like the ocarina or Vaughn Monroe don't come up, so you wouldn't know of my affinity for such things.
But maybe someday you'll inquire.
We gay people can be quite interesting.

But don't ask me anything about football or basketball, because they bore me.

I would agree.

Thankyou.

No DSM, im not gay but like Logan said, bullying is bullying. Stop looking at this thread as yet another rant about how gays are persecuted. This is about bullying, not gays.

[Tock]

No DSM, im not gay

We can fix that. We'll make you an honorary "queen for a day."

This is about bullying, not gays.

Looks to me, from reading the initial post, that this thread is about
bullying gays, and why it happens.

IMHO, more straight guys would masquarade as gays and let themselves be abused, if only they thought it would fun.

Thankyou.

considering DSM started the thread and the title was about a lesbian girl hanging herself, im pretty sure the gay part fits the bill
