I'm talking about any kind. Against race, sexuality, gender, any of the like.
The main reason I'm posting this is because the school that I go to does this. A lot.
It's the kind of school where "gay" is used as an insult and where you get treated differently depending on gender.
I think that any sort of discrimination is stupid. I don't care if you come from Mexico. I don't care if you like the same gender. I could care less, I care about people as people. Nothing else.
What are your views on the subject?

It's a good thing I'm not homophobic, because a LOT of my friends are either bisexual or lesbian. Some of them are Mexican, Indian, and Russian.
So it's a good thing I'm not racist too.
It really bothers me because a lot of the guys at my school treat the girls like they're property that lacks intelligence or emotion. They say stuff and I don't think they realize how much of a pig they sound like when they say it.

Ugh. I hate guys like that. One time this guy said to me "You're pretty, but you'd be more popular if you stopped reading so much and got a boyfriend."
I'm in 6th grade dude ;P
Anyway, my Mom's best friend is gay. He's still loads of fun to be around. He's not all that different from other people.

Hah. Everyone's so focused on having a boyfriend. I mean, don't get me wrong; I love my boyfriend but I didn't start dating till the end of Freshman year.

I know. The way I see it, the reason for dating is to find somebody you'd want to marry. At the age I am now, that isn't something I particularly want to think about. Besides, all people care about at my age is how cute they. Personality doesn't matter to them.

Yeah, it hardly counts to have a relationship till you're at least 13... maybe 14. But even if it's not cause you think you're going to marry them, still it's better if you're older.

I've never had a boyfried xD
Anyways, there's not too much of any of that stuff at my school, actually most people are really cool with gay/bi/lesbian whatever people and I've not seen much racism or sexism or anything.

Hah there's like half the school that's against homosexuality or bisexualism... then there's about 25 percent that don't care, and about 25 percent that are homo or bisrexual.

I'm part of that. Otherwise how could I appreciate yaoi?
Besides newer brain research shows that many people are born predisposed to be gay. And even if not, why should we judge? It doesn't matter as long as two people love each other.

My school is probably homophobic mostly but I am not.
But my friends and I are *sometimes* racist, well, we made a list of who would get shot first xD. But seriously with prejudice, it's wrong but it's hard not to do it when people fill what we expect them to.
As for the unrelated topic of bf/gf I have had a couple of gf's but nothing steady or long lolz. But really it is sort of pointless unless the couple goes to the same university or college after high school or have a long distance relationship. Really high school relationships are practice or *fitting in* until you get to the real world.
I am in grade 9 by the way.

I'm in 11th and will be 17 in May. But I mean, probably if I actually lived somewhere for longer amounts of time (I've never lived anywhere for more than 3 years) I might have had one by now. I mean I guess you didn't know either of yours for very long before you started going out RJ, but I take a long time to be open/friends with people so you know. xD
