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.

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.
