During my orientation at college, the Orietation Leaders (students) were talking about all of the terrible diseases you can get in college. Then one kid decided to come out and say that he has AIDS (and how he got it if I'm not mistaken). All the OLs ran off stage crying and in hysterics, hiding in their grief.
Then they came back on stage and told us that he didn't really have AIDS and weren't we glad it wasn't real? Um...NO! I was embarrassed because I had witnessed something so personal. Sad beyond belief for him. And really really upset. But it wasn't real, so everything's supposed to be cool now? RIGHT...
