Jesse Fuenes says when she attended a Los Angeles high school, she was forced to deal with the same kind of daily abuse described by Halse. That ended up in rock throwing and I was bleeding. Fuenes said she is still angry with one teacher who ignored her suffering. At the end, he would just laugh. So it's difficult for people to come forward.
Many gay students do manage to overcome the abuse with a little help.
Halse is following his dreams and looking forward to graduating from high school. He plans to study social work in college. Though he is still scared at times, he hopes that his successes may help others win their battles for fair treatment. ABC News Internet Ventures. Internet Safety Information applicable to the site.
