In middle school, I was pretty much persecuted for being gay, but the school just sat back and watched. Then, I didn\'t know I dould go to the police and I would have if I knew it was an offence. I ended up with suicidal depression, but the school sat back for two years while anyone \"gay\" or thought to be gay, was beaten. It wasn\'t untill I transfered from the school (after having my ankle slammed in a heavy metal door to humiliate me further) that the schools administrative team noticed anything at all. I think that it is very important for younger people to know that they can tell people other than teachers that they are being harrased. I wish I had.
