It seems that bisexuals are always overlooked at school. And many put labels on bis and treat them as if they were gay. "Well sorry for being bi A$$4013" (sorry)
I made a thread about this...outside of the guild of course

I live in WA, and people are pretty awesomely cool here. In western WA, anyway. I'm bi, and people at my school treat me fine. I mean, I get funny looks and questions from some people, but no one hates me or anything. People who are out at my school are actually pretty popular, especially in the punk/emo/goth groups. Hah, today was apparently national "Coming Out Day" (I had no idea) and they announced that over the intercom in photography, and a BUNCH of people turned around and looked at me. It was REALLY funny. I go "Guys, I'm already out! *rolls eyes*"

I get weird looks from some people, but the worst reaction I've received was basically outright shock. My school and the people I'm open with are very tolerant, so no problems there.
The funniest was this one guy who saw Lee kiss me on the cheek before class. He ran into his next course and yelled "I JUST SAW LESLIE KISSING A GIRL. I thought I knew her! And all this time..." And he's been totally oversupportive about gay issues ever since. XD

I'm in Orlando. People in my school are generally cool with it. Very few students I've met cared. When me and my girlfriend (ex now) used to kiss in the halls we'd almost always get a few jeers, catcalls, or surprised looks but no one did anything other then that and it was usually only guys going 'hot damn! Lesbians!'
I make a point of not telling my teachers, though I'm sure at least one or two of them know I'm bi because they'll over hear a conversation or two that gives me away.
I've had a few gay guy friends though who were harrassed in class by the other kids, and even teachers that were horrible to them after they found out.

well im bi and at my school there are just like a thousand 'clicks' and usually its just the people ur close to that even ask i guess everyone is treated equally until some jerk comes up to u that like one in a hundred at my school and trys to be popular by being mean to u then theres a big contraversy but then once every one realizes that ur a cool person anyways it doesnt really matter, the only ones that treat u differently are the ignorant freshmen *swats* they swarm like flys cause they're insecure *sigh* but yeah my school cool about it if u come out of the closet and everyone finds out ur not really treated and differently (in a negitive sences) the only thing that changes is that some people even look up to you bacause your that confident in urself and can 'come out of the closet' and be strong and proud of what u are and showing that u dont care that anyone else knows is what makes u stand or fall at my school.

I'm not really picked on at school. People make jokes, but not to make fun of me. I have a really accepting school, that and a lot of other people at my school are either gay, bi, or curious/don't know. rofl

Well I just realized I'm bi, even though I'm going out with a guy.
Anyway.
At my school, at first people will be like "OMFG." Then it sinks into them time to time. Well my friend Jon told his gf Kristin that me and my friend Ethan were bi, and she's like "o.O" and Kristin really hates me, so that was as an advantage to her. Eventaully, I forgave Jon, but then it didn't stop there. Jon broke up with Kristin, then she went around the school saying "Bianca's a dyke." My friends are backing me up, but stupid dense fscks (Excuse me for the cursing) are still talking about it and I'm getting kinda treated badly by the students.

Very interesting expierences.. Mine is similar to Unflavored Skittle's. .______.
In 7th Grade, I got my first girlfriend, but no one really knew about it, only
our really close friends. In fact, my first girl friend was also my best friend,
so, we practically had the same friends. When we told everyone that we
were bi, they were kinda like.. o____o At first, but then they kinda just
didn't think anything bad about it, so they were cool with it. Then my girl
friend told her mom that she was bi, and she never let her over for a
sleep over again, which I thought was hilarious. Then, just about when
summer break was gunna start, this rumor started around that we were
going out, but in fact, we had just kinda broken it off. We found out this
girl, evil girl, ugly too, started the rumor, and I just wanted to strangle
her. I really am not ready to come out of the closet because of this girl
that goes to my school who also goes to my church, and I'm afraid she
will tell her friends (who are also my friends) and they'll tell their parents,
the bishop will find out, and so will my parents. ;_____; I'm just so not
ready for that, at all.

Me: I'm bi! biggrin
Mom: o.o WHAT?!

In Florida it depends on who it is but mostly bisexual/lesbian/gays are treated with nasty stares and some such as school make a scene about it..

Gah, espeaking of how different people are treated at school, I'm going through something of the like right now. In one of my classes I'm in a group of four with a bi friend, this girl who sits next to me, and this bleach blonde b***h.
Today she heard me and my friend talking about her going outwith this other girl and how I could help out and such. And so she keeps saying to everyone "Hey, do you like lesbians? 'Cus they are."
And we kept getting asked if we were together and bullshit like that. It really got on my nerves.
Then she tossed my book on the gound and started telling me I was nasty. I've delt with this sort of thing before. So I was just about to tell her to shut up and pick up my book before I make her pick it up when I suddenly just...couldn't. I think I'm intimadated XP. And I don't know why. So really didn't do anything but glower at her the whole period, end up picking up my own book while she wasn't paying attention, and make some joke about how she's just jealus that I've gotten more girls than she has or something.
But omfg...she bothers me beyond comprehention. And I just don't know how to get over my fear of setting her straight. I need help =(

I am bisexual, and have been lucky, or unlucky, enough to experience both ends of this topic. I live in small town hicks vill. Michigan, and go to a very conservative school, in terms of sexuality anyway. Those terms being you will be straight, and if you are not we will thrash you into being straight. Admitting you are a gay or bisexual male in my home town is grounds for a lynching, and in no way am I joking. In my time at my school, I have only known one completely outwardly gay guy, and before his graduation, he had been beaten up by the wrestling/football teams, forced into mandatory counseling, and forbidden from taking normal PE classes. I am not even a toe out of the closet, as far as to the student body at my school, and I have been mocked and threatened. They are usually empty threats, but I did have one person actually attempt to burn my hair off with a butane lighter because he saw me holding hands with/hugging another guy at a football game. Thank god I took eight years of self defense lessons, or I could be dead. Most people have realized that I am not afraid to seriously injure them if they attempt to physically hurt me. (Don't get the wrong idea, I am not a serial killer or anything, but I am not going to just stand and be a punching bag -- I will bite back if someone pushes the line past verbal insults, and empty threats)
Thankfully though, I also attend school at an area math and science center. (Think the equivalent to college classes in high school) It is located in an urban area, and only intelligent people are even capable of passing the classes it offers. I am outwardly Bisexual there, and with only a few exceptions, everyone is cool about it. I am treated the same as everyone else, like a person, and not a vampier, a monster, or an infectious disease.
Foot note: I do not want you to get the wrong idea; my life really is not a horror story. I spend almost no time in my home town, in fact my house is fifteen minutes away from it, and all of my close friends are really supportive of my sexuality. There is just a lot of ignorance that goes on in my area of Michigan, and I occasionally suffer because of it. For the most part my life is great.
Well, is that long enough? I could go on if you wanted...
