Seriously WHAT?

Phoenix · 5th Feb 2010, 08:01 PM

I can sort of understand it. I mean a lot of the time gay ladies could get deep into denial and convince themselves that by being with men they can be straight. But they could be so desperate to be straight they engage in risky behavior and then, well pregnancy happens.

Or straight guys who think they are God's gift to women try and convince them that they just haven't met the right guy yet. By raping them.

My initial reaction is that it's a bunch of kids thinking it's hilarious to screw with the system.

Quote:

Results from the surveys, which were conducted anonymously among about 30,000 students in grades 7 through 12, indicated as well that boys are more likely to cause a pregnancy if they identify as gay or bisexual.

Who knows?

... No offense, but I kinda get it. I mean, I was in denial of it for three years. >< Although none of those years were spent in highschool. Except for part of the first year when I started realizing it.

I made a lot of mistakes and in the end tried to "overcompensate" and "force myself" to be with guys and... I guess this study shows that maybe other women did too but weren't 'smart' about it?
