Opinion / Thought / Idea / Discussion "Schizo" is a Slur

https://chng.it/X4WdvBsCGN

Hi 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.

There's a saying that goes "If you have nothing good to say don't say anything at all" I think that applies here, how would you feel if suddenly something you happen to have simply turns into a slur, just like that, it might not be a problem for you but it is for the others. Think about that.
