Suicide, it's a sore subject, for me, & many people out there. Homosexuality is also a sore subject for many people out there. Unfortunately, as of late, they've been tied in the same news broadcasts, undesirable fates, & heartbreaks. Heartbreaks of the families, friends, & victims themselves. 10, even 20 years ago Homosexuality was considered a disease, you were sent to a hospital if you were gay/lesbian/bisexual, now 10-20 years later so many people have turned a blind eye, thinking it has gotten better because it is no longer considered a mental illness.In reality, these suicidal outbreaks have shown us the truth: things have only gone from bad, to worse. They have only gone from 'lets treat them' to 'lets torture them' We've got to find a way to accept each other whether we're gay, lesbian, transexual, bisexual, or straight. We are living in THIS life at THIS time. When you grow old, what do you want to be remembered for? torturing someone? Driving them to suicide because they were attracted to someone who was of the same gender as them? Will that make you feel good when you are 80 90+ years old telling your grandkids of your younger days? For so many people, it's already to late tohelp them feel wanted, welcome, & accepted. But for many, especially on this site alone, it is not. People today use the phrase 'that's gay' as a negative term for bad music & such...why? 'gay' isn't negative. You don't say 'That's boy', or 'That's white' to mean that's bad, so why say 'that's gay' to mean that's bad? We need to step together as a race, as humans & help our fellow humans in need. We need to stop this suicide epidemic. Tell everyone they are accepted & welcome for who they are, no matter what, because that's the way mother nature intended for us to be. Touch someone's heart & soul by loving them & telling them they are welcome to be themselves & will be loved none the less. NEVER LET SOMEONE FEEL ALL ALONE. BC feeling alone is the first step towards suicide.
I agree with all of you. We categorise everybody according to their race, religion, orientation, gender, disease...why not just categorise as...HUMAN? Why bother with "the blacks & whites", "the christians, catheloics, & pagans", "the boys & girls", "the epileptics, schizophrenics, bipolars, & normals" the gays & straights"
i wish everyone could see each other as equals. instead of seeing a difference as a disease, we see it as something unique and special that person has and makes them 10x better. instead on judging on the outside if we like or dislike someone, we see the inside and then make the decision.
That's the thing...you can only deal with bullying, pranks, jokes...you can only tolerate it for so long. And if something osn't done, if someone doesn't stop it, then you have to do something to stop it yourself. Gods know, there are SO many HEALTHY ways that we could handle it & deal with it, but sometimes, we are so blinded by hurt, rage, depression, & desperation that we cannot see it, we hurt/kill ourselves &/or others in that act of hurt, anger, rage, & desperation. I'm not condoning it, saying it's ok...I'm saying, sometimes, it's hard to see anyother way but that way when you feel as if you're stuck there-in between that preverbial rock & a hard place.
I agree, Gleeok. But then again, being bullied is CERTAINLY not an excuse to kill other innocent lives, such as children. Thats sloping a bit towards revenge, which is the wrong way to handle it.
With Jenn's best friend, that suicide is just as wrong, but more understandable. He really shouldve thought about his friends and family and how they would feel. But when it comes to deep love, it is very hard to live through the pain of leaving that kind of love. Very few make it out alive or sober.
Plus with the added bullying, it made it harder for him.
But he's at a better place. He will be happier up there.
Where he won't be bullied.
Its simple, those idiots trolls, those..people which play really stupid games, which technically torture otherpeople for fun, and not not only because of a different sexuality..
All those Bulliers, i feel the angry inside me i could kill each of them, THEY are the society scumbag we must throw away, They sart the trouble just because of a different guy/girl, what finishes almost everytime with good hearted people comminting suicide, smart people, just preparing the way for a great life, die in depression because of some bullying, THEY must die...soo much injustice....thats why evertime i see on the news some crazy guy kills his whole classroom and after suicide, they don't tell us why he did that, they tell us he was crazy and all and if he was bullyed by those people? and if he suffered and freaked out because of that?
Thats what happens...t'ill stupid people don't learn bullying only leads to bloody ends, THATS FINE?. MORE PEOPLE WILL DIE BECAUSE OF STUPID GAMES,
I wish there was a way to punish bullyers...we could save more people from suicide
I was in class today reading a newspaper paper pointing out BIG mistakes and laughing with my friends THEN! Somebody says! "Shut up! You sound Gay!" you know what I said? "When did the word Gay lose it's meaning?!?!?! You know it means happy right?!?!!?! Probably not because you're in my 9th grade freshman English class and you look like a senior, Go to your right class with all the other people who don't belong and feel like making fun of all those who enjoy laughing!" He continued and I threw an empty stapler at his face he freaked out and I laughed then said "Who looks gay now?"
In old English, gay means 'happy'.
So calling something gay really means you're calling it happy XD
Honestly, I don't care for gays or lesbians. I mean their ways. I think it's weird seeing two guys or two girls kissing and what not. But dammit, they are people too, and they do not deserve to be treated like this. They deserve respect, and they do not need to fight for rights. They should already have rights. I've had gay friends before (I consider Nikki as one), they are not bad people. They are just as cool to hang out with, and I'm not at all ashamed of them being my friends.
I don't think it's fair at all they get treated like this. And I'm straight as an arrow.
yes as i have come across a word which describes htis welll
homosexist - which menas htta people think lesbians are cool but gays are not whihc is worng its ok to be whatever!
