Whe Christmas time comes around santa sings a song, it  goes:

                                  Ho ho ho
                         All thrOugh the snow
                               OVer the roof tops
                       All the Elfs know
                        When Raindeers are coming
                          Its time to go
                  Ho ho ho its Christmas time in the snow

Well then main word in this poem is HOVER. Hover means to float over or got go over something. So this poem decribes when santa and his raindeers go OVER the roof tops and this action shower the meaning of the word HOVER.

Well my topic is Gay Abuse inside and outside of school for kids and teens.For one you may think that gay abuse happens in school and ends at school. But gay abuse that starts in school also effects that child's life outside of school and happens to them through the internet or physically happening to the on their way home or when they come outside. Gay abuse doesn't just effect that person physically it also hurt that person emotionally

• I need statistics
• General information
• The definition of not only gay abuse but some terms used when gay people are abuse like homophobic, homophobia, ect.
• And maybe just one or two example from kid or teen who have experienced or witnessed gay abuse and how they fell and how this issue really effects them and their family.

1. Definition of Homophobic: Is basically a large range of negative attitudes and feelings towards  lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer and in some cases transgenders and inter-sex people. Definitions refer variably to antipathy, contempt, prejudice, aversion, and irrational fear. Homophobia is observable in critical and hostile behavior such as discrimination and violence on the basis of a perceived non-heterosexual orientation.
2. Definition of Discrimination: an act or instance of discriminating
3. Definition of Homophobia: is the hatred or fear of homosexuals yup I said it that it is, lesbians and gay men - sometimes leading to acts of violence and expressions of hostility. Homophobia is not restricted to any one parts of society, and can be found in people from all walks of life. Organized hate groups have viciously attacked homosexuals and have used especially rude language in attention to persecute and intimidate them.

Statistics:

• In 1984  because of gay abuse, gay people five times more likely to miss school because of feeling unsafe. 28% are forced to drop out
• Many Victims of anti-lesbian/gay violence - possibly more than 80% - never report the incident
• 85% of teachers oppose integrating lesbian, gay and bisexual themes in their curricula
• In 1986 42% of homeless youth identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual
• In 1997  84% of Americans oppose employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation
• In 1996 about 75% of people committing hate crimes are under age 30 (WOW)- one in three are under 18 (VERY PREDICTABLE)- and some of the most pervasive anti-gay violence occurs in schools(WORRRRD)
• In 1989 Lesbian, gay and bisexual youngster are at a four times higher risk for suicide than their straight peers.
• In 1994 a survey was taken and 191 employers said t that 18% would fire, 27% would refuse to hire and 26% would refuse to promote any person that was lesbian, gay or bisexual.

Poem (extra cedit)

Mr.Gone

Why did you have to go
Leaving you family and kids alone
Tear tears for you
That were shown'
Now they are home sad and all alone
So are you happy with yourself
Mr.Gone
I bet you like leaving people all alone
Leaving you face burned deep in thier souls
Now they'll never forget you
Mr.gone
since you left them all so alone
Forever and ever
You may never return
And the pain they suffer
Is going to stay
As these first few empy days
Go by
We will survive

By KaylA Newman

Poem (extra cedit)

Lockers

Things unfold
Old nasty sandwiches
Dirty smelly gym clothes
Homework from last week
That hat i lost in winter
As days go by
the junk piles up high
Open up your locker
Textbooks fall out
people get hit
Your locker
my not be
a safe place

Poem (extra cedit)

Painful Portrait
Hurnger in thier eyes
The feeling of death and sorrow
that comes your way
No food
and
No water
One pair of clothes to wear
New born babies
suffer
The pain
The hunger
More than you do
They die
Before they even gt the chance to live
Corps of thier body lay on the floor
Tears of women
Tears of men
Tears of the children
The parents try to defend
But its hard living this way
This is serious
Its not a game

Poem (extra cedit)

The Feel of The Game

Head held up high
Sneakers neat and tied
Helmet safely secured
While the a ocean blue eye
Peeks out
Through the open spaces

A gun shot rings out
BAMMMMM!!!!
So loud and clear
You race down the feild
Focusing on nothing but the ball
Cheers and screams, as the crowd goes wild

The heat
The pressure
The determination to win this game
Sweat slowly drips down your face
As you run down the feild
Heading for that goal
With more confidence than anyone else
With all your heart and soul

You make it there
You hear all the cheers
HOOOOORRRRRAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY WHHHOOOOOPP WHHHHOOOOOPPPP!!!!!!!!
You take a breath
And you know its the end

Topic: Gay Abuse in and out of school
Articles: Bullied because you're gay or lesbian,Wear Purple Day Oct. 20 Against Domestic Violence and Teen Bullying

        After reading these articles about gay abuse i really started to understand how serious of an issue this is. For one I'm not against gays, i don't have the right to discriminate which isn't a big deal as people make it out to be. I'm totally against this bullying, harassment, and discrimination inside and outside of school. It effects kids on every level depression and pain. Peoples verbal abuse, Interent Abuse, physical abuse all stays with that kid for their life. whats even worse is gay abuse, judging a person by what gender they like?? Its not a big deal at all. I can never understand why some kids do this to others. And I also cant relate to the pain gay people may go through everyday especially gay kids who go to school and are teased and tortured about being gay.Kids bully gays because they think they are "different" in some way, which isn't true at all.
         And because of this kids tend to try and change themselves, force themselves to be straight, try to dine what they are. People say being gay is a choice when its clearly not, who would choose to be bullied, tortured , hurt, every day by others when they can simply change their ways. being gay is something that you CAN'T control.In most schools teachers and staff are aware of homophobic bullying in schools, although few schools deal with the issue. As you start to see more and more on the new is that a very largely-unrecognized effect of homophobia is psychiatric injury, including attempted or actual suicide.
       Do you see how many teens kill themselves because they simply couldn't take the abuse from others anymore. They didn't have anyone there to really help them or stop the abuse so they took the only chance at that moment that seemed very reasonable, suicide.Well as much as one in five gay people have self-harmed or attempted suicide because of homophobic bullying and abuse.Besides all that i like that people are started to lend a hand to gay people. Try to show them that someone does care and its will all end soon. So the Gay Awareness Day was made to make awareness about whats happening. On this that people wear purple to help show spirit for anti gay bullying.
      I think this day is a good example of a way to reach out to gay people and kids who are being abuses for being gay.
