I noticed that for some reason in high school, there seems to be a pressure for dating. It seems like if you don't date, people assume you're either lesbian or gay. In all honesty, that's so stupid. A guy or girl isn't lesbian or gay because they don't date. Maybe there are family rules, they could be possibly shy, or maybe are not attracted to anybody in school because nobody has perked their interest, or even the slight possibility of being asexual ( Sexual Orientation where one is not attracted to any gender.)
It genuinely bothers me that some people in my school make assumptions like this. It's just general ignorance. If we all took the time to get to know people, maybe we wouldn't have rumors like this. Also, nothing is wrong with anybody that is gay/lesbian/trans. They are their own human beings just like us. This is the same issue that people with mental disorders and disabilities deal with.
People with a disability or mental disorder face discrimination all the time. It's disgusting.
Humans are scared of the unknown, and say things because they don't want to face the unknown. Humanity needs to face the unknown, and accept that not everything will be same color that they wish to see.
