In late September The New York Times Magazine released a special “School Issue” and as you may imagine this caught my attention. The cover story was about “coming out” as a middle school student and being able to figure out a teenagers sexual identity. Now my question to all of the world is are kids going under so much stress and large issues such that one on the cover we need to do something more about it. I believe that teachers and school officials are almost completely ignoring the fact that kids are having a terrible time in school.
Of course that may not be entirely true but from my experiences in a private school I have noticed depression, break downs and bullying all around me. Also an example would be myself where I have had terrible experiences in school in the last two years, and I use to love school. So the question remains, is this and issue that some people need to be more aware of?
