Most developmental issues about sexuality are left to the children and sometimes to the parents. However, there is a very strong anti bullying policy in place in all schools, regardless of what the target of the bullying is. Catholic schools, even so need to be an anchor for homosexually-inclined students, because they do suffer a"dis-integration" during their experience at Catholic high schools. Most suffer a disconnection from their families, their classmates, and their school, and even find themselves rejecting the very faith that should sustain them. The difficulties experienced by those students and the Church and school's failure to help or direct them in the authentic catholic view ,is a reality, mostly because no one wants to be labelled or sued for sexual vilification or "homophobia" and unfortunately many catholic teachers do not understand or have rejected the church's teaching on the issue. So everyone develops "truthaphobia" surrounding the issue or it's swept under the carpet or worse authentic catholic teachings are misrepresented by teachers .julesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21487528.post-64385759759154161622009-09-28T00:56:00.000+10:002009-09-28T00:56:00.000+10:00I should point out that, as the story makes clear,...I should point out that, as the story makes clear, the boy in question is now finished school and working with a local charity group to assist other students who experienced what he did.

I (half jokingly) say that the peak of maturity seems to be year 6. They are mostly on top of everything that happens at primary school, but haven't yet struck the teenage issues. From year 7 it all gets more complicated and mature behaviour starts to evaporate. I'm in my late 50's myself now, and I think I am now again approaching the maturity of an 11 year old!!!!
