My daughter came home from school one day telling me about this boy in her class and how he gets teased every single day because people think he's gay. my daughter isn't taking part in this teasing but others are. one of my nephew's gets teased about being gay just as much as that kid in my daughter's class. he's a bit feminie in personality ehihc is the reason he's getting teased.

my point here is that it still happens. kids are kids whether they were kids in the 50's, 70's or now. kids are still using the words that were used when us older people were young. my daughter knows what those words are but she never heard them from our home. hubby and i raised our kids without prejudice and we did succeed in doing that. it's the outside peers that teach other kids these things.

my friend being 48 means nothing. kids are still kids and kids are just cruel. they don't know how hurtful and damaging teasing can be; not until they get older.
