Yesterday at my highschool in front of the entire student body,I was announced Valedictorian of my senoir class.

 Upon recieving my award, a fellow senior of mine yelled out the word "homo". A group of  boys laughed as the others(students) watched in disgust.  

  I  was so pissed, I could have litrally killed one of those pricks for ruining my moment. My friends told me to nod it off and dont worry about it, but it hurt so much.Tears ended up strolling down my eyes because of it.

Why cant some people just accept who you are?

Perhaps the most important thing we can undertake toward the reduction of fear is to make it easier for people to accept themselves, to like themselv

That is horrible. Dont feel bad for being who you are, you can only be hurt if you let people hurt you. Getting that award is a once in a lifetime oppurtunity most people dream about. Dont let rude people ruin your moment. Be proud of who you are and wallow in your individuality.

some high schoolers are morons.  I have them too, they use the term 'gay' to insult people.  But life goes on though and Im sure there'll be way less people like that once you get out of high school.

Aww I'm sorry that happened. Congratulations on making valedictiorian though.
People say those kinds of things to make themselves look "cool", because they're assholes, they have nothing better to say, they're ignorant, and other stupid reasons.
Try not to let them get to you, you're better than that. Those types of opinions should mean nothing to you.

Because some people are jerks. Some people are so closed-minded about other people and how other people are supposed to be, that they forget the reality of the situation; that we are all human and no human is better than anyone else. White, black, gay, straight, protestant, lutheran, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim...we are all humans and we should learn to tolerate other people. We should learn to at least Coexist Peacefully. If someone can't accept someone else, then they should at least try to respect them and stuff. What that guy to you was rude, cruel, and ignorant. That guy was being a big bigot. You should try to ignore people and their ignorance regarding things like tolerance. I know it hurts anyway, but try to ignore them. I try to everyday.

This is a perfect example of why getting out of high school is good.  It is filled with idiots that are so immature that they only way that they can get attention is at the expense of someone else.  Whatever you do don't allow them to pull you down to their level.  Hold your head up high and continue to show them just how stupid they are.  You can do this by excelling in life.  

I am amazed that no one had the balls or the human intelligence to call them down on this public spectacle.  They should have been punished by the school.

I am a strong believer that ones sexuality is a private thing especially in the teens. Idiots like those that publically humiliated you with hurtful labels are example why this is important.  

Congratulations on your achievement as Valedictorian.
