There are many arguments for and very few against discussing homosexuality in schools. So far as the U.K. syllabus is concerned, it is something that is being tackled in class; how effective this is, is another matter. Teachers, students, parents and governing bodies have their own opinions on the matter - if these are strong they may inhibit the impact of discussions. Many schools do not believe it is appropriate to ‘promote’ homosexuality in the classroom but this does not mean they think it shouldn't be discussed. Indeed, it would be preposterous to promote any sexuality: “be straight, it’s the best decision that I've made so why don’t you give it a go?”. Promotion may be far fetched, but an understanding of society's subcultures, whether founded on religion or sexual preference, can be gained through discussion. Sometimes the only places these discussions take place is in the classroom.

Guys, I know you hear about it ALL the time, believe me I get sick of it but I just thought it'd be pretty important to higlight the risks of testicular problems.

To live a life where you have to hide the very person you are is to some people unacceptable. Other people become tired of others guessing and talking behind their backs. It’s really a matter of personal choice. One thing is for sure though, and I can’t stress this enough…tell nobody until you are sure yourself. As a kid I would often participate in sexual play with other lads. As a teenager I had other homosexual experiences. BUT you must realise that such activities occur in the adolescent lives of nearly all people, gay and straight alike. It’s a natural process of discovering sexuality.
