Just enjoy the good things offered to you by your catholic high school. The other students have free will to choose to lead themselves to hell. Just smile and feign a laugh when they say dirty things. Just because they are bad doesn’t mean you are.
 
Sadly, I’m not surprised. Most Catholic schools and Catholic school boards - at least here in Canada - are about as Catholic as a gathering of Freemasons.

But if Satan can quote scripture, he can certainly find ways into Catholic education programs.

I remember when I was in high school, the topic of gay marriage was being debated in Parliament and divided religion classes.

Those debates in classes turned into arguments. Often, the students disagreeing with the teacher would concede defeat to move on, then trash talk the teacher and Catholic teaching afterwards.

By the time I graduated in 2006, gay marriage was legalized but the debate continued. I imagine it still does.

The best thing to do, as always, is to continue praying the rosary.
 
Brokenplates1 made a great point. Prayer is one of the most powerful things you can do for your fellow brothers and sisters. It’s also one of the things that you can do. A good piece of advice that my brother gave me this past Sunday is to treat the things you deal with as water under the bridge. It doesn’t mean you are condoning with what they are doing, its just something that will make you a stronger person.
 
Also look at Father Robert Barron. He attends all those movies with really bad language, bloody violence and so forth, and it doesn’t bother him, and he is one of the most articulate, humble, intelligent and holy priests in this current generation. So, you are not alone. Ask God to get you through whatever it is your going through, and He will give you his aid.
 
Don’t keep this issue bottled up though. Talk to a priest, spiritual director, teacher, or school counselor about your problems and they will give you very sound advice, because that’s what they’re there for.
