Reply #28: Americans are the bullies of the world, if you think about it. [View All]

The kind of behavior you are describing is approved of in this society, by and large. It is cool to tease or make fun of others, especially if they are perceived as different in any way. I suspect gay teens have it worse because they are also abused at home many times.

Ours is a society where not making waves and going along to get along is the norm. If you want to make things right, if you whistle-blow at work, you are hounded until you stop or go away.

American society sucks and always has.
