school

my first day back to school is this monday, I'm really nervous cause at school I get made fun of A LOT,people stare me down and I'm just a big joke to a lot of people. I don't have many friends, cause I never talk to anyone. But outside of school, I'm so different. I've gotten made fun of my whole life while I was in school mostly because I "act white" supposedly or I dress "weird". It affect my school work a lot and my teachers always send me to people cause their "concerned" about how quiet I am.

how do you all deal with it if you can relate?

I'm quiet too. Just ignore them, they are insecure about themselves so they take it out on you.

i feel you i go though the same shit , at least for the most part,BUT you deal with it cause you eventually find someone you relate to which is cool. But its the media man its how they see the world trough out the media man and what the think is right subconsciously.

what you need to do is be your self and speak up once and awhile but remember never to let go of your true self in order to indulge in the full school experience cause they're has to be kids like you around you town find them chill with them, just live your life as you are just don't be afraid if they look weird at you to look at them back cause it shows them your not afraid and you know who you are, and don't worry about teachers they just trying to help in the only way they know how.

just don't be afraid to show your true colours

Sincerely
your friendly neighborhood spider man

Just be yourself. You know one year, I had a whole bunch of people make fun of me. I totally didnt understand why. I guess they had it out for me. The next year, I ignored all of them. They called me in the hallways constantly, and I ignored everything they said. They embarassed me several times in front of others, but I just kept walking. I didn't care, because I received the worst of the worst. Finally, I found a safe haven with some friends of my own. Of course, they didnt have any reservations, and still made fun of me, but eventually they had to shut the hell up, because I had friends and I wasn't listening to their shit. My friends were alright , and didnt give a damn. Though they wondered why people were so obsessed with making fun of me. I told them my story, and they thought those people were all hyprocrites. It takes time to get people who are like you. Just remain real, and you'll find it. I'm a quiet person too. I dont like to scream shout. It's not me. One thing, I do regret was how I didnt have a lot of confidence in myself. I removed myself completely, but I wish I still had that confidence to engage others at the time. So, gain that confidence, but it doesn't mean you have to be charismatic . Just be yourself .

rely on a good support system outside of school.
dont worry about anything ppl say to you. YOU ARE YOU (sounds cliche but its so true)
remember the people that do love you while you're in school, and try your best to get through the day.

In middle and high school. I resorted to acting "gangster" like all the other kids around me because I wanted to fit in. I was the only black kid in Honors classes and as a result I had a hard time in school because kids called me "white". The black kids never understood me and the white kid treated me like an anomaly. I retreated into my studies and focused on my goal of getting a scholarship to college and majoring in engineering. My hard work payed off and I'm in engineering school now. I've had the luck of meeting tons of "different" black kids like me who have similar interests and goals in life.

So, to make a long story short, my advice to you is to stick it out and don't let them get you. You aren't acting white because of how you dress or what music you listen to you're being yourself regardless of what stereotype they subscribe to. Just work towards your goals and do the things you love. You'll meet people like you and become friends as a result.

TTLY agreed. I know exactly what you mean.
And I think it's great advice.

Wow I had the exact same experince when I came from an all white school (Well not all ways >_> there were three black kids including me) to an all black school in the ghetto. I had to learn to just ignore them and move on with my life because its just school and karma usually comes around and screws people like that over later on in life, trust me. =] I moved away from that school three years ago and when I go back I look around and see how the people who made fun of me are turning out, most of them aren't doing to well, mostly it was the people who seriously thought that yoru popularity in highschool and middle really mattered.
