Speaking from experience of being in that place mentally, such hatred and rage toward others, especially those you are close to isn’t uncommon. In my case it was really a “damn you all and double damn you who should have helped me/people I blame for me being in this situation” scenario. My own personal reading of the note is that it isn’t one of rage and hatred, but of pain and despair.
I’ve often heard that rage is depression turned outward.
My daughter has undergone such bullying. The “cool” girls at school don’t like how she dresses, her short hair, or how she acts so they deride her with derogatory terms and names implying that she is homosexual. Such bullying over a long period of time without proper corrective measures (which apparently, my wife tells me, does not include me going to the school and calling these “cool” girls various names and other assorted usages of the spoken word until they break down and cry) can have a severe impact on an individual’s concept of who they are, especially individuals who are also going through puberty.
That is a good description for my case, but I don’t know how generalized one can take your above.
Sorry but when the last thing a child says to a parent is" F**K you" that is not crying out in despair.It says a lot about the dignity of the parents that they express deep love for the son God gave them. I think some of the bigger problem is the mixed signals this poor kid received in that society embraces these aberrations now whereas before the 1970 they were seen as deeply rooted psychological problems. Giving acceptance to emotionally disturbing manifestations of body hatred is futile. A person who spends the money to try to change his sex is only fooling himself. God made us male and female. A pseudo vagina has no purpose but to try to accomodate a male penis, It goes nowhere but is simply a surgical hole created in a male body. A pseudo penis also fails to function as a truly male organ as erection is impossible without the assistance of some sort of device and ejaculation of semen does not occur either. It is like children playing make believe to an extreme degree
I’m sorry to hear that. It’s hard to be a parent of a child that age. You want to protect them and, at the same time, imprint on them the perspective they can’t possibly have (that all this stuff is pretty much meaningless). Personally, I find the idea of school being a microcosm of the real world ridiculous. We would never put up with, as adults, what our children are expected to put up with in school.
LGBT Propagandist: “Hey Jimmy, I hear you like boys.”
Ah-huh. So, where’s this fictional conversation happening?
I don’t think so.
Advancing the agenda was exactly what the people quoted in the OP article promised that they would do.
That there is some sort of unintentional conspiracy among the gay sub-culture to bully people into being gay? No, I don’t hold that idea as valid. That there is still present a stigma attached to homosexuals and this stigma is being used as a weapon to bully other kids with and with this type of bullying having a side-effect of making some kids think they are homosexual or bisexual? Yeah, I do hold that idea to be valid in principle. Beat a kid with the idea that they are X enough times and they eventually believe they are X (X- stupid, a screw up, worthless, criminal, slutty, homosexual, etc).
:doh2:
I’m not sure that bullying is the same thing as pushing a homosexual agenda. Honestly, the single most surprising thing to me as I went back to working with college age people after 20 years removed from that environment is how accepting of homosexuality they were and how they did not put the same stereotypes on it that my generation did. I don’t see what you do at that age at least.
+1 for making me LOL. Good one!
You have to remember though that the Catholic Church makes a definite distinction between same sex attraction and the acting out of the disorder by engaging in genital contact and mutual masturbation with one of the same sex. There will always be a stigma attached to sodomy because the bible condemns it as sinful,
People who think it matters ALOT!
According to the article, "…When I was 14, I learned what transgender meant"
What difference does it make? Why do you want to segregate and put people into categories?
I’m not forgetting the differences between being homosexual and engaging in homosexual activity. The stigma I am referring to applies to both, and given the selective stigma applied to heterosexual activity outside of marriage (i.e. girls and women are sluts, boys and men are just “sowing their wild oats”) one can hardly argue that either stigma is justified. It would be different if all sexual activity outside of marriage and all parties involved in said activities had a similar stigma attached to them (and here just for their activities, not because of who they are).
I had misread the year of your joining as if it were 2014. That is, I was identifying your account creation as the previous day, not as one year ago. acting as a respondent for SGMS and identifying both of you, actually, as joining only within the last few days - I was drawn to a false conclusion about why you had joined only one day ago - and posted only to one thread.
