I know that people who are gay are struggling in the in the everyday life, but is hard to accept it. We all want regular child, not a child who are different from others. That would most probably destroy our reputation." Can someone here help me with correcting this sentence? Thanks for helping me. Desireandlove Joined on Sat, Jun 7 2008 Junior Member 57

I know that people who are gay are struggling in the in the everyday life, but it is hard to accept it. We all want a normal regular child, not a child who is are different from others. Having a child who is different That would most probably destroy our reputation." Note that if you are in an area under control of the PC police the use of "normal" in this context will bring you great opprobrium.

"“When I am trying to get along with my teacher, my teacher is stark dismissive. Maybe because I am kind of badly behaved and not doing well at school. Sometimes he’s just telling me off because I am talking a little to my class-mate, which is ok, but no ok if he does it in a cruel away. He is telling me as wall to get off the classroom and go to talk to the headmaster.” Desireandlove
