Social Issues

I have been thinking about our current issues in our schools, first I thought of Bullying, but then I thought that I should make it a little more specific, and I remembered that a couple days ago many people wore purple to honor those who committed suicide because they were called gay. Many times at school, someone would go up to you and say you're gay, and someone else is gay. but those people don't know the real meaning of gay.
         What I hate about that is that people call other people gay when they actually aren't. But the actual gay people who get made fun of feel the most pain. The people that are called gay and aren't don't get as sad as the people who do because they know they aren't, but the people who actually are, because they know that they are and hate it when people say it to them because it makes them stand out. Just because someone is gay or something else doesn't mean that they are different because everyone actually has something that makes them different.
          In conclusion I think that nobody should call someone gay because if you are, it hurts your feelings, enough to jump off a bridge, and if you aren't gay and you get called gay, there are other people who are made fun of because they are gay.
