brucerd 2 months agoI think back to many years ago in high school and wish I had both the strength and courage that student has. I came out at 40, and endured endless torment through high school. Teachers like the one this student has are wonderful human beings that offset the hatred of a terribly biased world. Good for both of them!

leh 4 months agoHey Buzzfeed, this is awesome, but I followed the “submitted” link and if you read through the comments, the OP (the student himself) says that he wishes you had asked permission first (and then he would have been cool with you posting it). He seems a little upset. I think it’d be great if you would contact him.

hollerific 4 months agoI once had a teacher who would make similar notes on our essays. She was the very best and I don’t think I would have made it through high school without her. What a great lady!

Yvan Dureve 4 months agowhy ? is it so difficult to learn/use/decypher the font “cursive” rather than “script” ? I didn’t even notice the difference … In the future, spies will just need to use the so tricky writing skill called “cursive” to send secret messages.

So I’m the writer of this essay (I can provide proof). I really wish buzzfeed would have asked permission to post this..

I hated to see the comment from the man who wrote the letter saying he wished Buzzfeed would’ve asked first! They should have, but this did give me chills.
I’m a republican Christian from the south, and I come across so many close minded bigots who show hatred to those who have different sexual preferences than ours. It deeply saddens me because it goes against everything we as Christians stand for- Unconditional love, equality, and friendship! I hope to see a day wear being straight or gay is looked at like being blonde or brunette! -
