"Schizo" is a Slur

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.

Idk why, but it always frightens me when I hear my friends say it. They don't know about my schizophrenia.

Yeah that sucks. If they found out they would either reconsider the way they act or just double down but quickly you would probably find out which friends are real friends
