Do people care how all the politics are affecting children too?
Being gay here is dangerous. 😮💨 it’s really disheartening. I had a student come in during my break (I’m a special education teacher) who came in holding their wrists. They came to me because i always give snacks and advice without asking. They were cutting because of bullying. I bandaged them up (thank goodness I had bandages) and told them I would do my damned best to protect them. But here's the thing. The administration was basically just like ‘oh um… dang that sucks’ I just broke down crying when I got home. I feel like I failed. The person who was doing the bullying wasn't like this, or just wasn't this bad, until Trump got elected. As a teacher talking to parents who may not check up all the time... please I beg of you, be aware. Please. It could save a life.
