Recommended: Side effects of bullying in school

Have I ever felt like I did not belong? Yes I have I feel that way in the school that I am in.

The school that I am in is for gang members and drug attics and people who fight to much. that’s just not me, I don’t do drugs, I don’t fight, and I hate gangs beyond belief.

All the kids in the class get out of school and go smoke weed or do other drugs and get into fights. And I don’t do any of these things and Mr. Curtis calls my dad when I leave after school to got have a ice cream sundae with hot fudge and gets me in trouble. I don’t understand he lets everyone else leave and go do what ever they want I have to sit in the classroom lintel my mom gets there. Everyone makes fun of me because I dot do any of those things then I get in trouble for putting my head down or not sitting up in my chair.

Also I hate telling people that I go there. They ask me “where do you go to school?� I have to say “I go to community day, it’s a school for all the screw ups.� it is so embarrassing to tell my friends that. Even my friends I haven’t talked to in a long time, just yesterday I ran into a girl I met at church a while back we became great friends then lost touch for a while and she asked me where am going to school now. So she thinks I’m some drugie gang banger.

Or ill meet a girl out and about and we will exchange phone numbers and chat for a while and she will ask where do you go to school I don’t see you around liberty? And my parents cant be proud of me, they cant tell there friends how good I am doing.

  • Fitting In?

    935 Words  | 2 Pages

    I am a Japanese-American, growing up I never felt like I belonged in either one. I never felt that I was fully Japanese because I did not have all of the same beliefs and traditions as other Japanese people. Nor did I feel fully American because I fully do not believe in all of the American beliefs. I saw myself relating more to the Japanese culture because it taught me to be more respectful to my elders and other people in the community. Growing up I had to assimilate to the prevailing culture because people were bantering me because I had unusual views than they did. It was hard for me growing up; I was trying to identify myself as either a Japanese boy or an American boy while I was at school and at home. At school I had to be this normal American boy, while at home, I had to be a Japanese boy. I felt like two different people. This also tied into me having an awkward relationship with other kids my age especially the girls. I would ask my parents if it was okay for me to date, their response was “as long they are some sort of Asian, then it is okay.” Today my parents do not believe in that saying, they just want to see me in high spirits, but as I was growing up it was hard for me to find a girl that I liked that fit my family standards I always found myself fond of another race other than my own and my parents were not too thrilled with the choices I made when it came to girls when I was an adolescent.

  • Conformity: High School Students and Cliques

    1986 Words  | 4 Pages

    Imagine being alone with no friends and no one to talk to. Now, place yourself in a location where you are surrounded by closed tight-knit groups where acceptance from those groups is a challenge to obtain. Then, picture yourself back when you were in high school, but this time, apply the image you have created for yourself. Do you wish for acceptance? Or friendship? Do you feel confident in taking the challenges that high school will bring? High school has a significant impact on an individual’s development. Whether it is their personality or behavior, an individual who goes through high school can see changes in their characteristics. A common stereotype in high school that is largely portrayed in the media is the existence of cliques. Cliques can give an individual a sense of belonging or a sense of betrayal. These two behaviors are commonly seen with the acceptance or rejection from these groups. An immediate result from these two actions is a change in morale or confidence for that individual. Cliques exist in high school due to individual conformity. An individual conforms to the group in order to feel accepted or to feel secured. Groups or cliques in high school have a significant negative effect on an individual’s development of characteristic and personality and the reasons as to why individuals join these types are not justified.

  • Compare And Contrast School And High School

    1241 Words  | 3 Pages

    Being in a little community and little school, 150 in the graduating class, made it nice that there was constantly a lot of school spirit and the community was constantly included in everything the school had been going on such as; any games for any kind of sports, any fundraisers or any volunteer work that needed to be done. All the students and teachers were greatly welcoming; it wasn’t highly diverse at all. If I had graduated from there, there would have been only four African Americans in my graduating class. From experience and in my opinion, racism is a big cause of violence and causes more drugs; this school didn’t have any violence and very little drug use from what I saw of students. Everyone knowing everyone made it easier for everyone to get along, there was never much drama, even being a girl.
