This man is evil.
-
He is asking people who were a minority to share their stories of being bullied. But because he happens to ask white people he is evil? What kind of a racist are you?
-
I never specified that the stories had to be about being bullied

i went to a highschool in philadelphia it was a public school probably 15% white. i did absoluty nothing my 4 years there and coasted by, i cut 80-100 days, i would go to friends houses and drink instead of school, and putting in the bare minimum effort let me pass.
-
there was no expectations from us, no challenge, the teachers were subpar, and there were a few race fights while i was there. I was a straight A student throughout my life, then once i realized i didnt have to do anything and still pass, i started doing that.
-
i was grossly unprepared when i got to college, granted this is also my fault, and i also think my parents should have watched over me more, they didnt go to college and i was pretty much on my own to figure things out in a school i didnt have to show up to get through.
-
also noted was that the majority of my teachers and staff at the school was white, it was a white neighborhood in philadelphia, but somehow the school district made it a majority black school.
-
it was pretty much 4 years of no learning at all, a place i went to hang out with my friends with no structure and do stupid shit.
-
To be fair that's most schools

-
I get a phone call for every class my children miss.

I lived in the NWT from age 9 to age 11, in a small community a few hours from Yellowknife. I was the minority — I was the only white kid in school, there were a handful of Métis kids but the majority were Dene (First Nations) & it was absolutely terrible! 1/3

I was badly bullied every day because I’m white & love learning, I was beaten up by older kids regularly (both boys and girls), I spent almost every lunch and recess in the staff room or library out of fear, and cried myself to sleep almost every night. 2/3
-
I have very few good memories from this point in my life, and have nothing good to say about the majority of the people I encountered while living in the NWT. Some of the stories I have about these years would shock most Canadians to the core 3/3

Sorry to hear what you went through. Hope you've become a stronger person and let all that go.

I’ve definitely moved on and gotten past the majority of the animosity I feel because of these events
While I’m still disheartened that my childhood was taken from me by ignorant people, l’m thankful for the strength and confidence I developed in spite of the situation
