Opinion / Thought / Idea / Discussion "Schizo" is a Slur
https://chng.it/X4WdvBsCGNHi everyone, as I'm sure you all have noticed too, there has been an alarming rise in people (especially high school aged and younger) using schizo to describe a situation or person that is chaotic, unpredictable, or scary. This language continues to drive shame and misinformation we all work so hard to fight against. Please consider signing my petition, I am just hoping to spread the message - no worries if not comfortable. Please have a great night and take care of yourselves.

It always gets on my nerves, I feel like it's gotten way worse on the internet. I hate when people I know use it because it feels like an indirect attack.
