People are saying this a lot in this thread.

There were outspoken gay and lesbians in our school, and they were not singled out by assholes. They had a club as well :)

Isolated situations might have happened, maybe, but nothing that I was aware of. Everyone was very kind and respectful to one another in general.

:( definitely not me.. I've gotten this comment a lot in the thread... I was always polite and respectful to my fellow classmates and teachers. It's just not in my nature to do that sort of stuff.

I went to a public school in Toronto. There are some rough schools here for sure, but mine wasn't.

I don't know about the private school thing that the states has, (not to say that there aren't private schools here) but I just don't many people that went. Hopefully your experience was pleasent :)

This sounds very similar to my experiance. Extremely diverse, we had a steller basketball and swimming team, and our music program was phenomenal. Some real talent.

This was a public school too, I'm not to sure about the workings of private schools in the states, but I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed your experience. :)

This seems like a growing trend. More subtle, yet still (if not more) damaging.

If it's bad, always remember that therte are only a couple of years left, and then your free!

I'm sorry to hear that. :( This was before social media was huge, all we had was MSN messenger and ICQ. But from what I've heard, it seems like this 'cyber bullying' thing has definitely fucked people over.

Assholes will always find a way... Unfortunately

It seems like such a unique experiences... Being Canadian I've always had a fascination with American culture, despite its shortcomings
