I'm guessing you are a female by looking at your picture. First, sorry about what happen to ya. Yea, first be most concerned of the reality and avoid physical harm. Don't go outside when you are all alone and definitely get some help from your parents. It will be much easier get through things like that if they are with you. Do you know who they are? Find out who they are and consider telling them in to a police department if that happens again. You are very much welcome to contanct me. You will be able to get my email on YahooAnswers, right? Cheer Up!

Can you give a description of the attackers? If so, make one and take it to the police. If you are afraid to go outside or see other people you could be developing a phobia and you should definitely start tackling it right now before it gets out of hand. Go see a counselor to help you learn techniques to deal with this. Whatever you do.. do not avoid! Avoidance only leads to phobia and that will really get you in trouble. My counselor taught me a breathing technique that really helps. Whenever you feel anxious or afraid try taking a deep breath in and holding it for a second then slowly release it through your pursed lips and count backwards from 10. Continue doing this until you feel relief. You have to look at these people who attacked you as sick misguided individuals and that not everyone of the white race is like that. Most white people would look down upon this behavior and the ones who don't are uneducated, brainwashed morons. Please go seek counseling I'm sure your school has a counselor.

Hope that has helped.

I am so sorry that this happened to you. I have been sexually assaulted in the past and I know how hard it is to get past such a personal violation. You need to take precautions to be safe. Try self defense course, etc. It will help to feel less vulnerable and like you are fighting back now. Please don't feel that all white people are bad. Not any one group of people is all bad and can't be represented by the lowest common denominator. We are all people and unfortunately some people are lousy psychos with an ax to grind for imagined wrongs. Don't let this rule your life, because then they have won. You have your personal strength, dignity, faith and inner beauty and no one can ever take that from you. You should try counseling, even if it is over the phone with a victim's hot line it will feel good to vent to someone on the outside. Someone empathetic and nonjudgmental. I wish you much love, peace and happiness. I will pray for you.

Honey, you are in the psych section. You should understand that the people who did this to you (if this is true) are the saddest people in the world. However, they think that they look cool and big but only lowlifes pick on those who are about anything. Because they are scared that you and others like you will replace them. I have learned that there is really no competition in life because all things have a purpose and space. So if someone was trying to take it all, that person was supposed to receive that much. You will receive yours. Remember, what comes around goes around. I am sorry that you are put in this situation however, you must figure out how to handle it. Be strong willed and have lots of confidence because if GOD did not want you to be where you are HE would put you somewhere else. PEACE

Just try to remember that white people may be your greatest allies in this. Most of us when we here stories like this want to find the people who did that and beat them to death for doing something like that.

My recommendation is don't shy away from what happened, make it public and stay visible as proud and strong. Call them out on it (if you know who they are) and let their personal shame do the rest. People who do things like that are insecure themselves and feel the need to elevate themselves by trying to lower others in their eyes. If you show that they not only failed at lowering you, but have also reduced their own standing they will likely avoid you.

I suspect it is much like standing up to a bully, they will move on to easier targets if you do. And yeah, don't expect the police to be helpful. We live in an age where the police are being trained to be soldiers rather than public servants.

Beat them with a PR war, and stay strong. You are better than them.

Are you being serious?? Shaved your hair off? Wrote racial slurs all over your skin? Why in the heck didn't you run or something? I can't believe the police didn't help you! I would think you could definately file charges against those people for like ASSAULT!!! Where are your parents in all of this?? HHMM...Just give yourself time, you'll pick yourself up. For every jerk in the world there are people who will be your friend.

I am so very sorry that this happened to you. I am so tired of the ignorance and stupidity of racism. I don't know where you live but if the local police will not do anything then you need to go to the media (news, Opera, Montel, etc.)anyone and everyone who will listen. You need to take a stand and make them listen. Hold your head high and don't let these bastards continue to have this control over you. I would how ever carry a weapon of some sort to protect your self. But only for protection. Please keep you head high and make people listen. You can do it be smarter then them. God Bless.

First, I'm soo soo soo sorry this happened to you. Racisim is something that is very real and we all ignore it. Not all of the white population is like that though. When I see people, I see people, not the color of their skin. Unfortuneatly, not everyone is like that.

In addition to the state police, I would suggest that you contact a psychologist of some type. Counceling may help you overcome your fear. Most schools provide it free to their students. What happened was not right, and your fears are understandable. Something needs to happen to them, but you need to heal yourself too.

Good luck sweetie. I hope things get better.

Contact State Police or other government officials.

contact the media, a local or national television station, or national radio show. Try abc.com or nbc.com .

talk to counselors at school. Keep telling someone until you feel that you are heard.
