Is it true.....

[smitty35]

Is it true that if you are in a bigger school and you are gay you are more accepted than in a smaller school. There are very few people in my school that are gay and they get made fun of and bombarded for being that way. How about you? is it like that at your school?

I dont think its as simple as the size of the school. In my town (in England) its more to do with what sort of neighbourhood the school is in and the average intelligence level of the kids. If its a good school with more middle-class kids its likely to be much more tolerant than if its whats called a "sink school".

Maybe not the intelligence but their charachter as a person. You can be stupid and have a best freind thats gay and it wont matter.

[chase.]

It doesn't really matter the size. I think it's more of the type of children

[Nihilus]

I don't think so. I go to a small school and I don't see much anti-gay things. I depends on where you live too.

[Mynameisconner]

I go to a smaller type of school, and gays are somewhat accepted. There are many factors that could prove this true or false.

Oh, and it helps if the homosexual in question isn't obnoxious. For instance: I attend a rural high school in Alabama. We have one openly gay student. Sure, he catches a little flack, but mostly everyone's pretty chill because he's not a retard who runs around shoving gay rights at the mostly conservative student body. He's very honest about who he is and my classmates respect him for it. It's a pretty simple equation. Be respectful about who you are in order to receive respect. Because NO ONE likes it when you shove beliefs down their throats, no matter what they are.

people dont care about gays in my school pretty big skool

[ccrunner]

At my school of 200 seventh through twelth grade we have one gay murmured just say his life is he'll so I think your statement is true about bigger schools

[ShatteredWings]

A big school in the deep south probably isn't going to be as accepting as a small school in new england.
(sorry to stereotype, but it's still called the bible belt for a reason)

But, in general, larger means you have more anonmymity, and won't have to have the whole world know if you come out

idk my school had 2000+ people and idk how tollerant people there are

[Craig1995]

My school in the south of Glasgow is quite tolerant but if u go to a school which is in a less afluent area they seem to be less tolerant it's possibly to do with how intelligent and there for open minded people are. But then I'm just kinda guessing now I've read it back it sounds a Wee bit daft

[sieg]

nick nailed it, if your school is just a bunch of ignorant jerks then they will probly give you a hard time.

[mr.sexy_bomb]

I am accepted a lot of people are out, I live in seattle Washington so I guess people are different here, I just wished we would all be accepted, I see stuff on the news and it's like they think we are monsters or something

[phily08]

i live in philadelphia so my school has over 1000 students in it i only knw my friend is bi and so am i and no 1 knos. my school seems to be neutral on the subjct.

[tyler007]

What kind of dream world are you living in??? It just depends on you, and your personality, and how you present your self.
I think if we just look at number then you might think more kids would meen more would be gay/bi friendly, but i dont think this is always the case. I know alot of boys in my school who say and do things with other boys in school that might make you think they were gay, but are not. I am not sure how my school would handle an openly gay boy..?? I dont know of any gay kids at my school but there are less than 600 kids at my school (K-12).
Kids are kids all over the place, some well accept you, and some wont. and not every gay or lesbian kid in your school welll be your freind if you do come out.

[jason123]

At my school gays get bombarded. Mine has about 750 poeple in 7-8th grade

[Example..]

i think it all depends, if you are gay but seem normal my bet is that they will stay of your back. But if your like the only gay at my school and you are super camp them you probably will get made fun of.

[gills93]

i think its quiet the opposite in sizes of school, my last year at school was 28 guys and i came out bi to all of them who are now all really supportive, and we have our laughs and jokes and i think thats because we were all close because there being only 28 of us
