OH MY GOD awesome awesome awesomesauce!!!

(You can tell I'm a professional adult now, huh?)

I have immense amounts of support from the head teacher concerning the study I want to do on homosexuality and homophobia and so on within schools. It's a really current, relevant issue and she has said that since my professional tutor has so many people to check up on with regards to the study she would be happy to personally supervise and back me up, and would love it if I could keep her informed on my progress. She's giving me access to current resources, giving her consent for me to talk to groups of students at lunch times, told me I should talk to sixth formers - including one in particular who's come out - and asked me to let her know if there are difficulties with getting staff to respond to questions and so on. I'm also attending the planned training session this Friday and has advised that I speak to the woman running them between so that I can get her support as concerns research methods and so on, as well.

I'm really not sure what my question will be - there were many aspects brought up and covered, and I'll have to make sure the focus is narrow enough - but this is just so amazing after the initial shut-down reaction that made me so wavery and tear-soaked.

Oh, and I came out as bi to her, also. It's something I become happier and more confident about, every time it comes up.

Oh. Just. Glee.

Hi - here from friends-of-friends, I've been interested in your study since I filled in the poll that you posted on the subject a while ago. Just wanted to say congratulations and good luck! I'm thinking of signing up to a programme at uni to teach sex education to teenagers in secondary schools, so I'm really interested in what you find. I'm so glad you're getting support on this, I think it's a really important issue.

I wish you'd been around when I was at school :-)

Hey! I've created a new journal for this study, to keep track of links and possibly conduct a little research, discuss things and so on. I might write up things like training seminars, resources developed and that kind of thing, also. I'm going to try to keep it apart from my fannish stuff as much as possible, but I'm absolutely willing to let people know where it is - drop me an email at annysthetized(at)gmail(dot)com if you're wanting to friend it and I'll let you know the username.

Very best of luck with the programme, if you go for it, and thanks so much for the good wishes!

Wow, that's very exciting! The study sounds interesting (I might email you to hear more about it.) It's awesome that you came out to the head teacher and that she's so supportive!

It really is, isn't it? Thanks so much for the support, it's really reassuring to find how many people are interested in this sort of thing. :)

I inspired an interest! *single tear of pride*

It's from my brief love affair with Prince of Tennis! I still think Inui rocks harder than a very hard thynge. :D
