Grow up to be gay? Surely you mean grow up to be secure in his gayness. Sexuality is physically determined before birth.
So nuts to any Christian Exoduser who claims gays are taking the wrong lifestyle.
Teachers have the uncanny ability to be knobs, I agree. Even in Norwich School, which I cherish as the best thing that ever happened to me, has its fair share. To be fair though, a lot of the time pupils are going to badmouth their teachers because teachers have to enforce things on their students that the typical child doesn't exactly relish. What I find is that it comes down to their attitudes. A certain music teacher of mine comes down hard on anyone who forgets their homework, and with every reason. However, he is actually a cock because of the whole attitude he takes with the culprits.
