I’m feeling really disheartened. Today marks the third day of Black History Month and the first school day of February, and I was hopeful that my classmates might show a little more respect. Unfortunately, my expectations were dashed as I faced the same racial slurs I’ve encountered before. Throughout the day, I was subjected to hurtful names, including being called “monkey” and the N-word. It’s truly disheartening to see that schools, which should be safe spaces for everyone, often feel like breeding grounds for racism. I wish I didn’t have to endure this experience, and it’s tough to navigate school life in a country where these attitudes persist.

Need help guys !! (17 F)
I could use some advice! (17 F) I’m currently in 11th grade at KVS, and I’ve just finished my final exams. I’m considering switching schools to focus on my JEE preparation, specifically to a dummy school. Is it possible to change schools during 11th or 12th grade? Thanks in advance!
I’m so sorry to hear that you’re experiencing this at school. It’s incredibly disheartening to see racism, especially in an environment where you should feel safe and supported. No one deserves to be treated that way, and your feelings are completely valid.
It’s important to remember that you’re not alone and that there are people who stand against racism and support you. It might be helpful to talk to a teacher, counselor, or trusted adult who can help address this behavior. Schools should be places that promote understanding and respect for everyone, and it’s vital to push for change so that every student can learn in a safe environment. You deserve that! Please take care of yourself, and know that your experiences matter.
