Hey…Listen up. This message is not meant for public proclamation. It is solely MY personal observations within MY school, MY community, and MY society. It is NOT a generalization applicable to everyone and will never be one.

I mean, seriously, it's like, ugh, you won't believe how the guys at my school just toss slurs around like they're going out of style. And it's not even like there's any context or reason for it. It's getting really exhausting, you know? I'm only 13, but it's like, come on, we can do better than this.

I happen to study in an Indian school (outside India & US for that matter), and, I swear, it's not just the slurs – they sexualize EVERYTHING. Like, seriously, there's not a single class or period where I won't hear something inappropriate. It's like they can't have a normal conversation without making it all about that stuff. I'm just trying to learn and not feel uncomfortable all the time, you know?

Is this a trend now ? making people uncomfortable ? Ofc, it’s not everyone. It’s never everyone. There are boys who know not to cross the line. But the other? They don’t know when to STOP. 

Oh, and on the bus, it's even worse. There are four teen boys, including me, the only teen girl. One of the guys, this one dude, not only makes me feel super uncomfortable, but he also drives the other three guys away, making them sit elsewhere. It's like he's making it extra awkward for me, and I. AM. DONE. 

The others are fine, they try to stop him from doing too much. Besides, why would you moan in front of 3 year olds? At least leave them alone. At least leave them alone. It's like this guy has zero sense of decency, and it's driving me crazy. It's like a daily challenge to deal with this guy's nonsense.

Is this normal ? Does this happen everywhere else as well?
