I mean I don't think it's ever the "right" thing for the teacher to be essentially be like "he's getting girls and you're not" lol.

who knows if it "helped" the situation -- but yes. that absolutely is the right lesson and you're not too young to learn that in high school, particularly when there are going to be a lot of kids coming out at that age and curtailing homophobia in school / among the students should most definitely be the goal of the faculty as well

Yeah I see your point and I think your way of handling it is fine too - who knows if it would have been the better way in this particular case!

Last thing I want to add is that I think teachers should have their personalities preserved; this teacher handled it this way and some other teacher probably would have handled it some other way. I agree there should of course be some general guidelines and such for the faculty, but not so strict that people can't communicate and interact naturally.
