The most difficult thing I had to go through in life would
probably have to be my high school career. Growing up in a community that is
well off and your family is a minority is very hard. I went to a school where
you can count the minorities on one hand. It was a shame that I was actually
bullied all throughout my time in high school because I wasn’t black enough.
There
was a bus that would come to my school from the city. That was filled with
inner city kids with a lot of aggression. They did not like me at all.
Unfortunately I was never accepted by them because I didn’t fit their
standards. Did I want to be accepted by them? Yes why? Because they looked like
me, coming from a town where not everyone looks like you or understands your
culture is really hard.
The
bullying wasn’t normal name calling it was full on harassment. I was shoved
into lockers constantly, screamed at in the hall ways, and even harassed
through anonymous phone calls on the regular. And somehow they got a hold of my
cell phone number, my mom’s cell phone number, and my house phone. There was no
way to escape it and it really bothered me.
Coming home crying myself to sleep was not how
I thought I would see my high school days when I was younger. I always thought
high school would be one of the best experiences, considering my Middle School
experience was so much fun. But I learned quick things that are good never last
long because its just a matter of time before things end up going bad again.
Being
bullied in high school has to be one of the worst things that can happen to a
child. Reason being is because that is the time where they are still trying to
find themselves and go through so many changes.
