I Lead A Youth Outdoor Skills Afterschool Program Every Week And Some Of The Kids Are From A Christian

i lead a youth outdoor skills afterschool program every week and some of the kids are from a christian school & some are from a public school and on the bus this week one of the kids announced that she doesn't believe in god, which really perturbed the other children, and they all started discussing & then debating and talking over each other so I said, "Hey everyone, if this isn't a conversation we can have calmly and kindly, we will have to change the topic."

I watched these ten years olds (and one eight-year-old) all take a moment to emotionally regulate, and then they took turns and gave everyone a chance to speak until they all finally decide on their own without any guidance from me that they simply would not agree on this and to move on. the next topic was what forms mountain ranges.

once again I am here to tell writers to please avoid writing 10-year-olds like 4-year-olds like I so often see because they're out here having theological debates with more empathy for each other than most I've seen on this website

Reblog if you're gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, transgender or a supporter.

This should be reblogged by everyone. Even if you’re straight, you should be a supporter.

bruh i used to hide out in the library in middle school during lunch to read because the lunchroom was overstimulating and i had so many bullies and so many issues with eating in front of people so i would just skip lunch and retreat into book time in the safety of the library, and one day the librarian came over and told me the library had started a new "lounge" for honors students in a little sideroom with comfy chairs where students could snack while they read if they want

and i was today years old when i realized i never saw a single other student in that little room that definitely held storage stuff before then and that the librarian absolutely made that up so i would have a safe space to read and be alone and eat in the library
