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.


If you sound forceful enough with the UC they might just go harass another kid. Freshmen are supposed to be easy targets, you'll spook em with resistance.

Pretty much, you really just need to stick up for yourself.

If you don't, you will always be a target, and don't let it bother you, even if it does. Try to always show that what people say to you does not affect you even when deep inside you it does. They see nothing, they will go away.

And the whole race issue is not cool, seriously take that up with someone like a teacher or assistant principal or the principal. They start out as bullies to your race, next thin you know, they are committing a hate crime.

Well which is it?

1. Take pride in who you are and stick up for yourself?
2. Swallow your pride and act cool about it?
3. Ignore it, abuse drugs and alcohol, jerk off 3-6 times a day, and create a future for yourself that places you in perfect isolation and depression?

Not that I would know anything about option 3. :(

Good point. I guess either stick up for yourself if you are in position to do so, or know no retaliation will come from the bullies, or simply don't give them a response.

If you're witty enough, come back with something that insults them too. I guess I had a wittiness to me which is the smartass in me to come back and insult them too.
