Okay, this is just, the best place I can put this. I'm leaving this site. Thanks to this new commenting section, there's a huge jump in those stupid kids giving out their email addresses or phone numbers, there's too many bullsh*t "you're beautiful/everyone is beautiful" comments now, I'm sick to death of being treated like I'm a d*ck just for pointing out facts to OPs. I'm sick of these stupid non-secrets that just keep popping up, and I'm sick of this site in general.
So, goodbye. To all those on SBC and ToS, I'll still be there. I just can't handle this stupid site anymore.

I'm 17 and I haven't been kissed or even had a guy say he likes me. Honestly, it does suck especially since, like you, all my friends have experience that is far beyond kissing if you know what I mean. The best thing you can do is just push it out of your head and not let something as insignificant as how many guys you have kissed effect your happiness. Someday you're going to find someone, no matter how sucky it may be now, it's going to get better. Sending my love from across the web <3 stay strong my dear.

Don't worry about it. Your friends may have had boyfriends, but there are a lot of 16 year olds that haven't had boyfriends. It's really WAY too young to be thinking about that. And think about it, would you rather have 20 boyfriends that didn't really care about you at all, or one boyfriend that loves you with all his heart and wants to be with you forever? Just please, don't get down on yourself.

why do u need to have a bf and be kissed at 16? thats young, to be honest at your age its kinda early for that sort of stuff, your friends might be lying too, just because your at the young age of 16 and havent had a bf doesnt mean you aren't loved, it means that boys have more sense than girls. and yes, i'm a girl too, and i say that the boys have more sense because they would appear to understand that you don't have to have experienced all that at 16 to be normal. k? your friends are just too impatient and a teeny bit....i won't say it.

I have a good education and until you complete yours you have no place or right to "help" others with theirs. I KNOW what those words are, shorthand is NOT illegal and I would have thought that a 12 year old who lives in this generation would understand that its not grammar issues but, rather, shorthand. Clearly YOU need help with your education because at 12 you should understand that "old fashioned" is not being old, but, rather, acting as people from older times would. ie not accepting shorthand when you see it.
When you turn 18 and graduate, feel free to correct me as much as possible on my shorthand, but I'm telling you, based on your age you will have barely started high school, you're only half way through your educational program, and I don't appreciate being corrected by someone who thinks that they're better than me and more educated than me when they aren't keeping up with the times. If my post was unclear, I would understand, but the whole point of shorthand is to make writing a sentence shorter but so that it also clear as well. Now, if you can't read a word without an apostrophe or if you can't read "u" then you are most certainly old fashioned because my grandparents understand that and any normal 12 year old can understand that. And if you DID understand it then you need to learn the meaning of short hand.
Don't try to help people with their education until you finish your own.

And I think you're actually quite up yourself thinking you can educate people older than you when you're nowhere near finishing yours. You started it, are you gonna run away before its over? I can't believe that at 12 you had never come across shorthand. the world these days...

You can choose to ignore this comment if you want, but this type of secret (no kiss/relationship before X age, friends who have done both already, followed by "All I want is [etcetera], is that too much too ask?]" is far too common on SBS.

I totally get this. I'm an agnostic atheist but sometimes I find myself praying -- when I'm desperate, or in a lot of pain. While it ultimately doesn't affect the outcome of my situation, it does calm me down for a little while -- gives me something else to focus on. Some people smoke, some people squeeze stress balls, some people pray. It's a coping mechanism.

You don't seem to know what agnostic means. You're an atheist if you don't believe in a god. But since you prayed to one...
That aside, finding your faith is a whole lot more than wanting to believe in it. It can take years of just researching many different religions to convince you that that's the right one.

We all have our reasons for everything. Somehow we can all justify our actions.
Hating homophobes is just as bad as hating their opposites. Just because there is a difference in opinions doesn't mean that either party deserves to be hated upon. Personally, I don't think that its natural to like a girl if your a girl, or a boy if you're a boy. Do I deserve to be hated? No, its my opinion, and I'm entitled to it, just as any person is entitled to like whomever they want. Yet just because they don't think its right, its apparently OK to hate on homophobes but practically a crime to hate on homosexuals. We're all people here, all humans, and we all deserve to be supported in whatever stance we choose to take on the matter. At the end of the day we like who we like, sometimes dads won't like their daughter's boyfriends and sometimes people won't like their sister's girlfriend, people won't like seeing two boys walking down the street holding hands, so why is it frowned upon (though generally acceptable) to not approve of a daughter's boyfriend or a son's girlfriend but practically a crime to not like it when two girls are together or two boys are together? If you're going to hate discrimination then make it fair. Just accept that we all have our opinions.

That basically didn't make any sense, but anyway.
I myself am straight, but I think it's perfectly fine for people to be homosexuals. I mean, if you really do love someone, nothing else should matter.
Most people don't think it's acceptable if the parents don't like they're child's opposite sex partner. It isn't right either. But generally the parents won't like the partner because there's something dodgy about them, or they're rude or something. When parents don't like they're child's partner of the same sex, it's usually not for those reasons, it's because the parents are homophobes.
Also, it's really politically incorrect for you to say that whole "Yet just because they don't think its right, its apparently OK to hate on homophobes but practically a crime to hate on homosexuals" thing. No, it's not okay to hate on those people. But you shouldn't think that because someone's a homosexual they get special treatment. Most of these people go through shit for the way they are everyday. They spend a lot of their life hiding their sexuality in fear. Even when they come out, it's extremely difficult for them to deal with, and it's much more difficult when people tell them it's 'un-natural'.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say here is people don't necessarily hate on those against homosexuality. They disagree with your opinions because in our opinion, it's an unfair judgement. Please stop complaining about how people hate on those against homosexuality and trust me when I say that gay/lesbian/bi people have a lot more hate aimed at them than you.

I don't seem to see anywhere in the post that says we have more hate aimed at us than them. The point is, if they're going to hate us for our opinions then they don't earn the right to get upset over us hating theirs. Yeah, its hard, but thats life, life is hard, it won't always be easy, and people shouldn't have to keep their feelings and opinions on the matter quiet just because there's someone struggling over it. Regardless of our orientation we are ALL entitled to voice our opinions without the fear that we are going to be hated for it. The reality is, lots of people, even straight people, hate homophobes, simply because they don't "accept" who people choose to love. A lot of people are afraid to come out because of what people will think. Regardless of what side, we all have people who are going to hate us for coming out or for disapproving of those who do. I'm just saying that, yeah, its hard for them, but did it ever occur to you that homophobes get it tough too? If gays don't deserve to be hated for what they think is right, why do homophobes deserve it? I mean, it might be wrong for homophobes to hate homosexuals because of their orientation and/or opinion. Does that make it right for homosexuals - and straight or bi people - to hate homophobes for theirs? Nope. Homophobes need to stop with the meanness. But people need to stop getting so mad at homophobes too. Just because they're straight and don't like it any other way doesn't mean they aren't people who have struggles and deserve respect too.
Sorry for calling it unnatural, if you don't like it, but like you said they shouldn't get special treatment, and I don't see why I should ignore the fact that it was Adam and Eve in the Garden, not Adam and Evan, just because they have a tough time day to day. Anyway, why do they have a tough time? Because they have haters.
Guess what homophobes have. Hm, yeah, HATERS. We all do. We all have struggles. Sometimes we just have to suck it up and understand that not everyone will agree with us but it doesn't mean that people with opposing views deserve to be hated.

First of all, you are being presumptious. Orientation isn't the only thing in this world that causes problems. You can't possibly say truthfully that homosexuals have it harder than children in poverty stricken countries, families left homeless through natural disaster, families torn apart by 9/11. Just because they have some struggles doesn't mean you KNOW for a fact that they have it harder than me, you don't KNOW that I haven't suffered natural disasters, you don't KNOW what I've gone through and only when you do can you make the assumption that they will always have it harder than me no matter what. In a world full of problems, orientation issues are a small glitch. Hard to put up with? Yeah. A struggle? Yeah. But we all have those and I don't see what right you have to put those struggles on top of the list when you have no ability to compare them to problems you don't know I have. I can take the hate. I don't understand why I should have to, nor any other homophobes.
You're being really unfair. For all you know, my life could be a complete disaster. For all you know, I could have been left parentless thanks to 9/11, I could have lost my brother to suicide, I could have suffered so much more. And without even stopping to think about that, you are automatically assuming that homosexuals will have it harder than me no matter what. Well, guess what. They get hate for their orientation just as fat people are bullied for their size, blacks are discriminated against, and so many other bullying situations. Are they automatically worse than losing innocent parents and a mentally sick brother? Why? Why is losing family for no reason so much better than people being disliked by someone of a different opinion?
And, btw, you don't know whether those things happened to me or not. The point is that they COULD have, they might have, maybe they did happen, maybe they didn't, but they could have, and your assumptions are rude and very misguided.

I'm going by the bible. If it was intended that two people of the same gender should be together and that was natural, then god would have put either more than 2 people in, or he would have put two girls or two boys. Did he? No. He put a girl and a boy because that is the way it is meant to be. That is the way it once was.
I'm sorry if you don't like my choice to vouch for what appears to me as natural. But I believe that if we were meant to be together with someone of the same gender then god would have made it as such from the very start.

You clearly are not religious, that was a VERY offensive comment to people who believe strongly in the word of God and the word of the bible - the word that clearly explains the Garden of Eden and its existence. Much of what dedicated Christians do and say is performed based on the bible and their beliefs. Adam and Eve's story is known by many people. The bible provides a second "theory" to the scientific theory on how the world was created. And I'm sorry but it is extremely arrogant and close-minded to entirely dismiss the bible as illogical and untrue when, frankly, you have no proof that it is as such and are only succeeding in offending those who swear by the bible. Coming from a teacher this is very disappointing. Feel free to have your opinions on the bible but to so rudely suggest that any proof from it provides no foundation to an argument is very irresponsible coming from someone who is looked up to as a responsible adult.

And until you can prove that the teachings of the bible DEFINITELY did not happen and DEFINITELY are untrue, you cannot rightfully say that what is written in the bible cannot be used as sound evidence in an argument.
And I agree that your opinions on religion have no influence on your teaching. What I said, however, is the way that you so blatantly disregard and throw away the teachings of the bible - which, as such, you have not proven to be untrue - as irrelevant to arguments is not the way that a responsible adult - that is, a teacher like yourself - should be speaking when all that I've been taught about teachers says that they are entitled to their opinions but should not be biased towards others. I was aware that teachers should support all students regardless of their skill, their age, their skin colour, or their views. I didn't realise that I was so blatantly wrong.

And yet that is unfair treatment to those who genuinely believe that being homosexual is wrong.
You are being hypocritical. You are ensuring that those who support racial, gender and marriage equality are treated fairly as human beings.
But those who do not believe in gay marriage are also human beings and also deserve to be treated as such. Telling students that they will not be treated fairly for having a different opinion to you is not right.
Allowing children (and/or young adults) to have their own opinions is what should be promoted. Disallowing any opinion differing from yours is squashing student's abilities to form their own opinions and it is fitting them into a box where the only opinions available to them are the ones that YOU approve of. Being a teacher doesn't mean that your way is the right way, and no more so does it mean that you are the only one with right opinions. Teaching students to have the opinions that you think are right is not teaching them to take evidence and form their own views on the subject based on what they can take from the evidence handed to you.
Parents pay for their children to go to school and learn from you. But if they are not being taught that they are allowed their own opinions, if they are being told that they must think the same thing as the teacher, then it is a large waste of their money, and the parents should move their children to a school where they can have their own opinions and think what they will without the risk of being treated unfairly in the classroom because their teacher disagrees.
Homophobia isn't hatred, last time I checked. And yes, there are homophobes who DO hate it. But for many people, it is just a disagreement with the idea of two men or two women being together in a relationship. Not hatred at all - thinking something is wrong has never before been considered "hatred".
Where you think you are successfully refraining from promoting hatred, what you are actually doing is promoting the idea that children do not have the right to form their own opinions and must instead have those of their teacher. And I blatantly disagree with that method. Where is the sense of freedom in your classroom?

I honestly have nothing more to say, since you think it's ok to allow children to believe that some people are born inherently better or more acceptable than others. That concept is so completely wrong that I don't think I can help you.
I will once again state that I will always, ALWAYS promote equality and equitability, and will never let anyone, student or otherwise, think that it's ok to think that one group of people is better than another.

And when did I say that I thought one group was better than another? I said that I didn't think homosexuality was natural or right. I didn't say that I thought any less of the people for their personalities. I said that I didn't find the concept to be right.
I never said that I though it was ok to allow children to believe that some people are born better than others, would you like to point out where I said that? I said that I didn't think it was right to promote equality and yet expect all students to have the same beliefs as you and treat them equally as long as they did agree with homosexuality. It is their choice what they believe in and with you dictating how they are treated depending on what they do choose to believe in is not giving them the freedom that they deserve.
Like i have previously stated, I think it is right to allow children to believe in what they choose to believe in. Just because they are younger and have less knowledge than you does not make them less human, and with being human comes the right to have and form personal opinions. And THAT is what I think is right. Is it ok to promote to children that they have to hate something? No. But no more so is it ok to promote to children that they have to love something. It is their choice and they deserve to be given the freedom that they are rightfully entitled to.
And ensuring that a classroom is a place where opinions against homosexuality will be stamped on, put down and hated, is not allowing the children who belong in that classroom to make up their own mind about it.
What is RIGHT is to give them the facts - for, AND against - and allow them to choose whether or not they agree or disagree with it. When you haven't done that, and when you don't know their stance, how fair is it on INNOCENT children to treat those who disagree as monsters? As people who have wrong opinions? As people who don't care for equality? Thats not true. NONE of that is true. Just because they have taken the evidence and formed a view on it does NOT make them monsters who have wrong opinions and don't care for equality.
You seem to support equality. So why won't you let those with opinions AGAINST your own be treated equally to those who have opinions the SAME as yours? if you are going to support equality, you have to support EVERYONE. Not just those whose opinions you agree with.
Oh, and do you know how it feels to be told that your opinion is unacceptable? Geez, and I thought most teachers were meant to be nice. Lord help the students of your school.

As any good teacher will tell you, we're not there to make friends (although that's a nice bonus). We're there to do everything we need to do to make our students successful. If forcing success upon them means some will hate me, then so be it. The teachers who will do anything just to be liked are generally some of the most ineffective.

Sir/madam, there is a difference between thinking something is wrong, and actually calling someone out on it. The latter is considered hate, and as said, will not be tolerated in Blaise's classroom.
If someone thinks badly about another person, I believe the phrase "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all." applies quite well here.
We all have our opinions, but demoting an entire group of people isn't appropriate for school anyways, so she has a perfectly acceptable reason not to allow such opinions in her class.

Oh my lord. How is it that not expressing an opinion being unfair? Essentially, if you don't hate in a comment, you wont be hated.
Yes, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, correct?
We're saying that it is incorrect to hate.
If you say being gay is a choice, awesome, that's your opinion. If you say it like, "Oh, well, I don't believe that being gay is natural. I think it's against the Bible. Just my opinion, as you have yours, and I'm just sharing it. That's all." <---That is perfectly okay. [If you want a better answer, go here: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/chick-fil-gay-marriage-201108120--finance.html Read what he says about gay marriage.]
Now, if you say something like, "God, gays are so fucking disgusting, I hate them all, they're going to burn in Hell because they're against the Bible." Well, that is not okay. That is not an okay opinion to express.
Again, homophobia is just like racism or sexism. You may not like black people, or women, or men, but you do not have to act on the thought. Just because a lot of people think homophobia is wrong, and being gay is right and amazing and everything, it does not stop you from saying your opinion or ideas in a nice, polite manner.

Their opinions offend me because I find them wrong, OK? And I have every right to because I am entitled to my opinion too. I don't see how THEY are entitled to treat me and others like me as though we are all disgustingly horrible people who don't care two hoots for people's feelings. Because we DO. And if you don't think that they deserve to be hated because of what they believe in, then by that basis, NEITHER DO HOMOPHOBES. If gay people hate homophobes because the latter disagree with their opinion, then they shouldn't go getting all high and mighty when the same happens to them. They can't say that they don't want that treatment if they don't have the decency to refrain from giving it themselves.

An opinion that is different to yours will ALWAYS seem wrong - it will ALWAYS seem as though it is "not OK". Because if they seemed right - if they seemed "OK" - then they would, also, be your opinion.
But we all have reasoning behind our views. You have it behind yours and, whether you choose to think that it has strong foundations or not, so do I.
And until such time as you can knock down and disintigrate every single piece of proof I have to back up my opinion in such a way that I simply cannot conjure up more proof or repair what you have taken down, you cannot say that my opinion, nor the same opinion of others, is undeserving of support.

Is that not good enough for you? Because honestly, all I ever read in these comments are about how everyone should be gay-loving and perfect, and if you're not, you get cyber bullying from everyone in the comments. She never, EVER said she walks around and tells people she hates homosexuals, she said she doesn't want to be afraid, so doesn't that mean she's trying to get over it? If she hates being afraid, she's not going around and screaming about anti-gay things. Stop and read it again before you post.
And, also, you have to actually be molested before you can say she should just "get over it." You don't know the pain and fear she goes through.

FOR THE LAST TIME, NO ONE IS BEING CYBERBULLIED. They are giving constructive critisism. Yes, a few of the comments are a bit harsh, but it doesn't mean they set out to give the OP a beating. They wanted to give her advice on how to deal with it. And if the OP really wants to post a secret, they should be ready for comments like these. Not everybody is going to agree with tham, but they should know that.

I know the feeling, I just feel really uncomfortable around "popular" girls or guys because I was bullied for years because of the ones in my old school. I naturally feel like hating them. But I try not to show it, because none of these popular kids I've met since have hurt me. I am as friendly as I can around them, even they don't deserve to be treated badly by anyone just because I was emotionally tortured by couple of jackasses years ago. Nobody deserves that.
So even if you don't feel comfortable, please don't go walking around telling people how much you hate all homosexuals, most of them have never done any harm.

but why CAN'T you hate them? i mean, homosexuals hate homophobics, its the way it goes. i am scared of all spiders, yeah some of them are harmless, does it make me like them any more? nup. and no, i'm not comparing homosexuals to spiders, i'm just saying that we are entitled to dislike that particular stance if we so wish, and are just as entitled to voice our opinions, without being hated for it

And yet I can think of some to point out why I don't believe in homosexuality.
Its unnatural, if it were meant to be then god would have made it that way from the start.
If they think its ok to hate us for having our opinions then its saying that its ok for us to hate them. So yes, there's a reason, if you don't want hate then don't give it.
And if you want us to believe that not all homosexuals are the same, then believe it about us. We aren't all politicians who refuse to allow gay marriage. Just because we disagree, we aren't all as cruel as them.
Give what you want to get. If you give us hate for our opinion, don't expect us to be all happy and loving about your choices. If you want us to believe that you aren't all the same, don't act as though we all are.

That's YOUR BELIEF. YOUR BELIEF is that "GOD" made the fucking world. Other people believe differently. So "it's wrong" shouldn't even fucking fly as an excuse anymore. Stop fucking eating beef then NOW, because according to Hindu's, it's WRONG. See? If you think ti's right for all gay couples not of your religion to have to follow YOUR RELIGIONS LAWS, you should have to follow another's without complaint.
Oh, right, you don't want to follow the belief of a religion you don't follow. JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

Honestly my first thought was, "At least the OP has a reason".
But seriously you should find a way to get over it. I get that it was a traumatic event and all that but you shouldn't blame the whole community just because a few morons hurt you. Just be cautious, but dont carry around this fear because it can evolve into hate.

Being a homophobe isn't unjustified.
Think of it like this. There is a subject, there are two stances: for, and against. Homosexuals are for, homophobes against. Its another opinion, its not fair to say its unjustified.
Some people just find the concept of two girls being a couple or two boys being a couple to be unnatural. Thats justification for being against it.
I think you need to think for a minute. You're getting upset at homophobes for being against one stance. And yet you are against the other.

Actually, no you aren't justified. OH CRAP A BLACK KID BEAT ME UP AND MADE FUN OF ME IN SCHOOL EVERY DAY FOR FIVE YEARS! THAT MEANS I CAN BE A RACIST BECAUSE OF ONE PERSON OUT OF MANY! See how fricking stupid it sounds?
Edit: that's not just "another circumstance" I really was bullied/beaten for five years by a black kid in school.

Well thats a bit rude, calling me a dumbass for thinking something different to you.
As long as she isn't rude to people, isn't mean to them, doesn't bully them, then she has every right to be scared of them. They have proved to her what people like them are capable of. Just because most people don't do it, doesn't mean that it hasn't been shown that they have the ABILITY to. when someone does that to you, you wouldn't EVER blindly trust ANYONE like them ever again. You shouldn't be expected to. Thats not fair.
And don't call me a dumbass.

What have I done to you other than disagree with your opinion that gives you the right to call me a dumbass?
You are being intolerant of this poor girl's reaction to the experience she had. I don't know if it happened to you. If it did then I'm sorry but we aren't all like you and just because you can get over things quick as that and care for everyone and trust everyone blindly despite what you went through, doesn't mean we all can, so yes, you expect people to, but we aren't all as amazing and uncaring as you.

A lot of homophobes say crap like that. I didn't say OP said that stuff, but that's the only reason people would (or should) say bad stuff about homophobes.
Otherwise, I'm not sure why someone would be called a "disgusting bigot" for being homophobic and not saying hateful things.
