I know I could have named all the other LGBTQ teens I knew when I was in high school on one hand, and it would have released so much anxiety, I think, to know I wasn't so alone. This could become a social network much like this and other websites provide, only in person. Of course, maintaining the academic integrity of the school must be the first priority -- school has to include academic learning alongside the social learning in order to be considered legitimate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
