Homophobia in Ireland is awful not just in schools but everywhere! It needs to stop.

I spent most of my childhood pushed around bullied , now 10 years on after moving back 2 my home town things have not changed a bit and just as bad , this is why i left school early and never finished school as no one was doing anything about it . Even to this day i get shouted at from people in cars bars and even shops .
