[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]High school teacher PP here. I do want to add I think social media has helped with awareness with kids. I only graduated in 2003 so not terribly long ago but even then it was common to insult each other by using fag, retard, etc. Kids now do NOT use those words because social acceptance has come so far. They don't think their peers with disabilities are idiots or contemptible nor do they think that of their LGBT peers. That is one thing that is so much better nowadays- they are much, much more understanding of and loving toward differences and identities. [/quote]

I still hear these words or their equivalents in the halls of my middle school along with slurs against immigrants, religious minorities, and poor students. This is an affluent public school in MoCo. The big thing last year was boys calling each other "suspect" as a synonym for gay tendencies. Already this year, one boy called another a "SPED". It's only the first week![/quote]

Well now middle schoolers are just barbarians, we all know that. Give them a few years, they'll mature into humans. Most of them. [/quote]

Many middle school boys are out of control to each other.  I wish parents and schools would teach and insist on better behavior.[/quote]
