Kids in my class were complaining about a teacher being too hard because she assigns too much homework (which is a complete fucking lie, she gave out only a month's worth of homework in the entire year) and how she's too strict (it's honors English for god's sake, not kindergarten) and because of that and other reasons, she was not really referred to nicely out of the classroom. If they think they're suffering because of her, I pray for them because she teaches Freshman English. -_-
dude if you can't handle teenagers calling you milk boy because you went and got some milk I have news... Life is going to be tough with skin that thin.
Once, while I was walking home alone from an bus stop, an small group of boys no older than 8, there were around 4 of them, and I have to get past them to get to an set of stairs leading to the street where my house was. Now, I was around 13, quite tall (and a bit of fat lying around my waist) for my age and Asian. As I passed them the little kids suddenly got quiet and started whispering to each other, I didn't have an bad reputation or anything, I heard one kid say: "do you think he's a bully?" When I passed them and got up the stairs and heard them laughing behind me. I was resisting my urges to pick up an rock and cram it on the kids faces. But I kept an straight face and kept walking till I got home.
Now I mostly use the longer route to get home, but it stops all the annoying whispers behind my back. I can't express to all of you how embarrassing this is to me
Wait, how old are you now? And, you wanted to smach a kids face with a rock just because they said a silly thing about you? Also, now you use the long route just because a few kids are whispering about you?
I can understand wanting to do both of those things. If you've grown up (well, grown to adolescence) with a low sense of self-worth, anything that makes you feel less-than or 'othered' is likely to evoke a response of fear or anger, and underneath that, shame and a fear of being unlovable / unworthy of love. Human beings are social creatures. Loss of connection is felt as a powerful threat. Plus, adolescents are biologically wired to seek approval from peers - it's part of the natural process of growing away from one's parents and towards one's own future family.
At school camp my group was canoeing down the river, when we passed these weird kids on a pier who screamed "native americans!" and "indians!" at us, before running away. We live in Australia. just, why.
