As a freshman in high school, I see this just about everyday in the halls. I get bullied on for my race but I just ignore it and pretend I didnt hear it. That seems to work most of the time.
this really made me especially sad.
while its not my race, rather my ethnicity.. i used to get that sort of stuff a lot. i went to a catholic school, and used to get asked, "are you a jew?" hatefully. or get made fun of in general based on my features, a lot. i'm full sicilian so i have naturally curly hair, and a bit of a bump on my nose. the sad part is, i went to school with a LOT of other italian kids. ignoring them didn't work for me, i was and still am, way too fucking sensitive.
but to my point, don't let them get away with it. don't let those kids think its ok to make fun of you.. especially for something like your race. in the real world that shit is not going to be just let go, and one day if they do it to the wrong person they'll really get their asses kicked. stand up for yourself, even if its as simple as saying, "dude,shut up." i know how hard that is, though. i never had the balls to, but wish i could have.
Thanks man, I'll do that from now on, well at least to my classmates because I dont think the Upperclassmen will really care what a Freshman thinks.
