<p>Sadly, every school will have its share of drunken bullies. And they will be abusive for any reason–not just sexual orientation. And, of course, the same behavior continues on into adulthood and is present everywhere–not just on a college campus.</p>
<p>The only place that is truly safe for your son is in your home. But, he is ready to leave and go out into the world. You’ve taught him well and he will be strong and true when he faces adversity–in whatever form it comes.</p>
