I was walking to my cubicle and my coworkers were lining the hall. One coworker, I don't know who, called out faggot. Soon there were snickers and laughing and then I was tripped and my books and papers fell all over the hall. One of the bosses was out in the hall but apparently didn't see anything. So I just slinked off to my desk. Later in the cafeteria I went to sit at a table but my coworkers wouldn't let me. So I tried another table and it was no dice. They said they don't eat with faggots. So I ate at a table all by myself. Later I had to go to the bathroom real bad so I ran into the restroom and relieved myself. On the way out one of my coworkers barred the door and pushed me into a stall. He hit me a few times and then I finally got out. I told my boss but since he didn't see it, nothing could be done. I really need the job so I guess I will go in tomorrow but I sure don't want to.

Now of course none of the above really happened to me at work. But this really does happen to way too many of our middle schoolers and high schoolers today. We would find my tale absurd for an adult, but we somehow accept it for kids. What are we going to do to change this?
