How do i cope with being only asian adult female in university class of males aged 18-19?
Its realy hard because they blank me and i am tried of trying to make conversation when i get just one word responses. I am a christain and i know i am not a bad person and i don't need to hate any of them they just behave like sheep. I am outcasted like class loser. I have a sense of humour and I want to be able to stay strong and be brave. I have worked with men in the work place and they behave normal. These boys all act like i have a diease they will catch sitting on the otherside of the classroom. I feel angry all the time and want to shout some home truths about them being sheep and not individuals. I am at least 10 years older then them. I find myself so frustrated with situation and end up crying when i get home. Always putting on a brave face. It not good to be female or show feelings in the class. Its hard to get up and do presentations on because they talk more about you then they do to you. I have another 3 years to go as I just started this.I do I stay strong and brave.

Are you an adult or a baby? Please grow up.

Relax buddy. the very fact that you have chosen your career as per your choice shows how bold and independent you are! Take Kiran Bedi as your role model! Read her book. It is wonderful how she came up with flying colours amidst a male dominated society. Try being more friendly with the guys. Don't let the feeling that you are the only girl there bother you too much. Keep telling yourself that you have gone there with a purpose and a goal and you will outsmart everyone and come out with flying colours. All the best to you!

Hold your head up and be proud of who you are. People like this make me sick.
When I was a child, I tanned threw my clothes. Being dark haired when the rest of my family was blond and fair skinned, made the remarks even worse.
I lived in Southern California at the time and then my mom moved us to Honolulu, Hawaii.
There were other people there of mixed race like me and they treated me like I was white trash.
I went home from school crying for few weeks an when the people there realized that I was trying to learn their ways, their culture and I showed them respect even when they too were verbal abusive.
Eventually things change, they softened up towards me and I had one of the richest leaning experiences that a child of 8 years could ever have.
My point is, hold you head up high! They are missing out on an opportunity of a life time to get acquainted with you :)

oh my dear Sora.how i would love to walk into your classroom and knock those silly boys heads together. PLEASE do not give up and go home. i know it is awkward to be around such idiots, but honey, if you tuck tail and run , then they will know their fathers and mothers were right about ppl of other cultures.then their children will be brought up the same way.keep your voice and keep your seat......and may God continue to be w/ you and give you strength to out shine these crazy ppl.

Why would you worry about what a bunch of guys think? Sounds like you need to concentrate on your classes more.
