I remember when I was first grade and the new boy in class sat right next to me. I got so excited and then nervous! My first crush. When I was that young I really didn't act out on those innocent desires. We would chase each other on the playground and I even was invited to his 6th birthday. When we have those innocent desires most of the time nothing is done about it, and it is the same for people with tendencies to being homosexual.
When they have those innocent desires like day dreaming, nervousness or increased heart beat. It is when they begin to act on those desires that it is a problem. One wonderful thing that I learned in these lessons about homosexuality is that usually these people are just simply misunderstood and when they find acceptance with people that aren't straight, then they themselves believe they are gay. And instead of fighting those tendencies they believe the names they are being called.
What I truly learned from my class this week is to be a lot more kind and understanding to young people who are struggling. They really just wanting to belong.
