No!! You are not a bad person at all!! If that is true, then I'm bad because I am a white person living in a mostly mexican town. I'm Irish and German, but I can't speak a word of either language. In fact, I actually speak a little Spanish. You just tell them that it wasn't your fault you were born different, if they don't like it, they can get over themselves. I sound different than everyone. Just hold your head high and be proud about yourself. Just don't worry about those people, they're not worth it. Once again, there is nothing wrong with you!! Be proud!! It will get better once you get older, but it won't every go away.

Diversity is what makes this world wonderful. I am a Newfoundlander, and "Newfie" Canadians have an unusual accent and i love it - it's part of what makes me who I am. Don't be ashamed, don't ever feel ashamed of who you are, if someone cant appreciate you and your accent then to "h**l" with them. I know it's hard, I know you want to feel accepted, but be proud of your heritage and you know what, if the people who are picking on you suddenly don't get a reaction from you, it wont be fun anymore and they'll back off.
By the way, see if you can find someone to teach you Navajo, it's a part of your heritage.

All the people don't expect this from you so that's the people I would hang out with.
Don't let other people make you feel bad...they're not worth it.
What would be nice is to begin some Navajo lessons so you'll be more in touch with that part of you....but do that for you not them.

Hmmm....I see no problem. There is nothing "different" about you so let them go screw themselves. You're the better of them all.
On another note...isn't it funny how stupid kids who like to poke fun at others they consider 'different" quickly forget lessons like Columbine.
Or they usually remember when the "different' kid forces the muzzle of a Smith and Wesson 40 caliber pistol into their mouth. But...they remember for only a fraction of a second at that point.

You need to take pride in who you are and stop looking for validation in others. You need to realize everyone is different and we all come from different borders and countries and places. it's 2006 and going into 2007 we need to stop judging and start appreciating this melting pot we live in. Life is too short for people judging others on their appearances,clothes, nationality, beliefs we have bigger fish to fry you'll be okay.

Don't worry...I'm in the same situation, I dont know how to speak my language (vietnamese) that well either, but I'm trying to study and learn it and its getting better! You should go to a school nearby you that can possibly teach you or tell your parents.
