Welcome to Gaia! ::

okay today in my english class we were talking about sexual predetors on the internet
it was normal everyday talk. but out of nowhere Tony turns to me and starts insulting me on my sexuality! he said stuff about how discusting i was as a human being and that i shouldnt even be aloud in a public school. or any school!! i was so upset with him that i stood up and left the class room.
the teacher followed me and gave me a refural and let me go!
WTF why did i get it when i was being attacked!! why do people get so judgemental!?!!

It might not have been the best idea to leave, but you shouldn't have been punished for it! Did the teacher ask you to explain yourself, or did he/she just give you the referal? I CAN see why you left though; Tony had no right to say anything like that! I would've marched up to the teacher, and told her, and gotten HIM kicked out... Well, I no one can blame you...except the dumb teacher!


I don't think that this Tony was your friend, was he? (If he was, he isn't now!)

I get bullied a lot in my school, not for sexuality just generally, but I just walk off like that when people get pissy at me. Well, the teachers have said that I'm allowed to though. sweatdrop

I would follow Raeden Michelle's advice and see someone like the Principle? Or someone you can talk too. Not that I know much about the US school system (I assume your in the US, I'm in the UK) if you feel your being harassed like that they should have an obligation to put a stop to it? Right?

im in Cali and well i did take Raeden Michelle's advice, sorta. i took the situation to the office and then i took a copy to the GSA at my school. and now we are going to be celebrating The Day Of Silence
at first we werent because it was thought that people accepted it already but now that that happened its on again -_-

You had every right to walk out like that. It's called a walk out, generally it's planned and big groups of people do it but it's the same idea. I did the same sort of thing once. It wasn't due to sexual harassment, but because my teacher (after a bit of drama- long story) called me a compulsive liar and pretty much said I'd fail at life. So I walked out of class and went and sat in the bathroom. One of my classmates came in a few minutes later and asked me to come back to class cause she'd be looking forward to practicing out scene so I did but from then on whenever my teacher insulted me I'd walk out of class until someone requested my return. It's great that you took your problem to the principl and to your GSA. Good luck with your day of silence.
