Have you ever felt like a scape-goat? Horrible feeling. When you feel like everything and everyone turns against you and you have no one to talk to. The incident which happened to me is quite common in schools. Just because the adults and staff are more superior over you everyone automatically chooses to believe them. When I was labelled of inappropriate behavior with the opposite gender it hit me like a train. Moreover, my grades took a downhill move and I faced trust issues and injustice. It was just a normal day in school. I guess you could say I was the popular kid, I knew everyone and I had a lot of friends. I knew our school was unfair towards its students but never realized to what extent until I faced injustice myself. I had a really …show more content…
I could hear people whispering and talking about me. A place I loved so much turned into a jail for me. My friends supported me throughout, however I felt as if I was constantly watched over by the teachers. I couldn’t relax if Vlad was around. I had fear in me that the school staff would accuse me again. I started to lose my appetite, and then my motivation to end my year with good grades. It still shocks me that the vice principal would try to get me in trouble for the smallest things, be it the uniform, the color of my hair tie or the number of friends I had at the time. It felt as if she had a personal problem with me. When the time of the meeting came, where my parents and I had to meet the vice principal, something I very much expected happened. The so-called camera evidence that they had, was not there anymore. In fact, it was never mentioned in front of my parents. In addition, she was super supportive and nice next to my parents. Throughout that whole time, my parents supported me and assured me that they know I was truthful. Unfortunately, that didn’t motivate me to study or attend school. My parents didn’t pressurize me or force me to attend my school because they knew I felt like an outcast there. By the end of the year I had an attendance of 48% and not such good grades. Six C’s and one B to be exact. That was my final year of school and I ended it witch such a bad note. My grades reflected my depression. The many years I have dreamed of pursuing my career in the medical field were over for me as soon as I saw those grades. But hey, I guess everything is for the
I was trying to be too many things and it all came crashing down at me. Swallowing my grief for my beloved grandmother’s death and trying to get into the mental state for school was hard for me. I never handled grief or even dealt with death, this was new for me. Everyone handles grief a different way, my way was keeping busy not being idle. Because if I was not, then I would be thinking of the loss that I felt in my life. Working after school was different from me as well, I never really worked while I was in high school and that was the first semester I did. I noticed soon that I can’t keep up with both acts. School and working was not mixed well for me, but I couldn’t quit I had to keep the job going, because my little paycheck helped make my mother’s ends meet. I had to remember that she was the reason why I was doing
It was the fourth year of my school carrier. In other words, the year of truth if I would make the cut to the higher education track. I was nervous because I knew that I would be capable of going this route, but I the feeling of concern was stronger because I haven’t had performed very well in my fourth year so far. At the end of the school year, I received the shocking news that I didn’t make the cut to go to the school which would have had allowed me to go to University later on in my life. I was sad, disappoint in myself, and lost self-esteem in my educational abilities. At this time, I was more embarrassed then able to realize the real benefit of a system which early on tracks children’s
My friends consisted of only boys because the girls did not like me. Being so young, I couldn’t wrap my head around what I was doing wrong. I’d get called names like “weirdo” and “ugly”. Many times they even would refer to me as “Kyle” because the clothes I liked they decided was not
Often, I would protest at first because I, of course, liked my friends, but switching schools four times in a matter of two and a half years had a large impact on me.
At one point I came to the conclusion that I’m either going to fail, go to summer school, or go to a school that I didn't want to attend. I felt so disappointed in myself because I knew that I could've done better. So then one day I told myself, “I can do this”. I then started to study more than I usually did, I turned in all of my missing work and my present work, and I also took an after school tutoring class
That year I was called the “N” word for the first time and really the only time I could think of. I did find a friend before school started. This friend and my choice to remain her friend would begin to mold my life early on. The funny thing is the harder I try, I cannot seem to remember my “friends” name.
At the age of eight I was bullied not only by my classmates but people of both genders whom some I considered to be my friends. It was not only my weight. I had short hair and crooked teeth. I thought that I was normal. I would be left out of games; I was not allowed to be friends with certain people of both sexes. When I look back it
All the sudden I had this weight put on my shoulders. I was mentally wreaked, at that point I felt like my body was just failing me. I managed to get C's in most of my classes but I wasn't able to pull in together for one of them and I got a D+, so I wasn't able to lift my self from academic probation.
I was so different to everyone else. Furthermore, I remember when I first transferred from an Islamic school to a public, I honestly cried myself to bed. It was difficult. I went through my fair share of discrimination at school. I soon realised that I had control over how I felt.
...friends” then they would interpret my words differently and make me look like a bad person. Rumors were spread, arguments took place, and I lost those two friends because they couldn’t treat me right. I learned to not be friends with anyone who might spread rumors about me or that might be too easily offended. I found out that the popular kids can be mean sometimes. I was made fun of for my oversized sweater. The sweater used to belong to my older cousin whom I admired. I didn’t know why they thought it looked funny when I believed it was the best piece of clothing I ever owned. The popular group taught me to keep dressing the way I want. Then my attire could make the girl upset and I would be the one comfortable at school. Therefore, my peers taught me about life and myself. This group affected me because I learned to not fall under the norms and make my own trends.
I walk in the building, it looks really old and the principle look really mean, but so did the rest of the people there.The principal showed me to my room and tells me I have to share with some other kid, which I didn't like doing.I decided
My teachers, who knew me and knew that I could do better, were concerned about me, but I wasn’t concerned about anything but , what I then saw as my road to acceptance , and a rebellion. After my second quarter report card came I realized that I couldn’t keep sabotaging myself to prove what I now saw as a ridiculous point, though my grades weren’t necessarily bad, I knew that I could have done way better had I tried; I was a smart, determined, self-oriented girl and anyone who couldn’t see that was missing out on someone amazing so I did what I had to do. I did all make-up work that the teachers allowed me to and resumed doing homework and studying, and by the end of that school year my grades were up to par
Fast forward to a somber night in my family room as I sat with my parents and they informed me that I would be returning to a public school for high school with all of the students that bullied me. They informed me that everyone had matured and I would be fine. Fine does not mean great, it does not mean perfect, and it does not mean okay. I had nightmares leading up to my first day of high school, I thought out every single possible reaction I would have from the students that knew I had left Bryan Middle School.
Half way through that year my cousin who is like a brother to me decided it was time for him to move to Phoenix Arizona accompanied by his newly wedded wife and try to make a living there. Him leaving really hit me hard, I was pretty close to becoming depressed. During that time I preferred to keep my mind busy as a result my grades shot up almost forty percent. Math in not my favorite subject at all, but for the first time in my entire life I can say that I really enjoyed and looked forward to going to my first period math class, I had the highest grade in that particular class for that semester. For the rest of that school year after overcoming all my problems I was just going to school getting my work done, get home, finish homework and do some work around the house.
We headed down to the principal’s office. My heart was pounding. It felt like it was pumping more blood then it needed to pump. The time it took to reach the principal’s office felt like a million years. We were in the office and my teacher showed the picture to the principal. There it was; the inevitable. This was bound to happen. How did I not see this coming? Why did I just ignore my noggin? The principal said, “How ignorant! Three days of in-school-suspension.” My life was draining by the second. It felt as if I was thrown into a dark chamber filled with corpses. Now I realized to always listen to the authority. My life lesson learned: Take policies seriously. No matter what you say to get out of situations, policy always comes out first.
