Yes, it is becoming a trend - because:1) A trend doesn't always have to be a positive thing - for example: Emo kids - please don't tell me that was not a trend, and it definetly was not a positive thing. Another: doing drugs - also not a good thing, smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, the list goes on.2) Kids are very experimental, people like to experience everything for themselves instead of just seeing it or hearing about it - if they get interested enough, they will try it out. A lot of straight people become bi-sexual just to try how the whole gay thing is, than they'll go back if they dont like it. Also, just like other things like clothes, and drugs -whether it be good or bad, and notwithstanding the circumstnaces, they will do it. The only way I could see someone being born gay is if you had like low testosterone or something -and that has to be very low. Because I really don't have medical knowledge of that stuff, I can't really for sure say that low testosterone would lead to a more gay life style, I can't say it for sure, but thats how I would imagine it to be. Ultimately, a lot of kids try being gay because its becoming a trend.Ok - not to offend anyone about religon or anything but - how can you have merit as an individual if all you had to do was say "God, please forgive me for this sin I've done" and "bam" you're forgiven? That to me is a little weak - unless you are explaining it to me wrong? Someone needs to elaborate on that alittle more - I dont think thats correct.
