Getting taunted by white students....?

Question

I'm the only black girl in one of my classes and for some reason, the whie kids pick on me and take my chips and stuff that i bring with me to class and the teacher doesn't do anything about it and the teachers aid see's them and doesn't do anything because she favors them. All the white boys in my class do this. I was arguing with them and overheard somebody talking about me going back to africa...I've never even been to africa... They get on my nerves. What can I do to teach them a lesson (basically...revenge) on not to steal my stuff and treat me as if I'm not human without getting any adults involved? HELP!

only boys are messing with me... I'm in high school, but i fought a boy before and I'm pretty strong 4 a girl

weechi...that's how I look in person... I'm half white..I just dyed my hair blonde

Answer 1

I would get a hypodermic needle and inject a strong laxative into the chips one day.... They regret it for DAAAAAYS. I did this to a guy who would always take my lunch because lays are american and "spics" aren't... So, one day, i did this and lo and behold, he didn't want my chips anymore.... You may have trouble coming across these things. I didn't because my dad is a chemist and my mom is a doctor..



Oh the things you can do with a hypodermic needle.... It's like the ultimate venging tool....

Answer 2

The problem with revenge is that it's possible to get yourself into a lawsuit. Unfortunately, eye for an eye isn't a law upheld by the government any longer. Seems your best option is to tell the teacher after class that you'll take the matter to higher powers if they don't act on the matter. How ever, I do rather like the idea of cayan pepper on the chips. You can't get in trouble for that and they'll certainly think twice about doing it again if you put plenty on. Racism sucks, to bad people are too afraid of the different to get over it.

Answer 3

There's no nice solution to this problem. You can involve adults, and that may force them to treat you better. But their feelings towards you will not change.

I would suggest telling your teacher first. If nothing changes, then tell the principal. Stand up for yourself always, no matter what other people think. If they hate you because you're a different race/skin colour, then they're not the type of people you want to be friends with anyway.

I wouldn't suggest revenge...they are too many of them and they will only do something worse. Worse yet - if you do it, then I'm sure one of them will rattle on you..imagine what they'll say then! "hmph...well what do you expect from her...she's black!" Which will make things worse, and confirm their wrong beliefs that you are somehow evil/inferior. Don't stoop to their level. You'll just be turning yourself like them.

And don't worry...there will always be racism...and there will always be people against it! Good luck...

Answer 4

One practical thing you could do, is stop bringing chips to class; if you didn't have any, they couldn't take them from you, right? (As a teacher, I never let my students bring chips into the classroom, they cause a lot of problems, not only the one you're describing, but others too). Another thing you can do is ask the teacher for a change in your seat assignment away from those kids who are bothering you (assuming you have a seating chart). Don't bother trying to make "friends" with these idiots, but you can try to make friends with other, normal acting people, and when they see that, they'll more than likely start to realize that you are normal too, and they'll treat you that way. I can't even pretend to know what it's like growing up black, as I'm white, but I taught in the inner city for 30 years, and I know this much: white people, indeed most people, are more interested in your "character", than in the color of your skin. Show good character, the color goes away. It's hard growing up black, but remember, it's hard for EVERYBODY, of ANY color to grow up, so you're not alone at all. Ignore the fools, welcome your friends, find peace within yourself, act right, be a good person. You'll find yourself rewarded much more than you think you will.

Answer 5

look, the last thing you want to do is to try to reciprocate. No matter how good you think you will feel, it will only make things worse.

This is in fact exactly what they *want* you to do, and they will be expecting it. You are never going to win, fighting against a class full of unhappy scared teenage white boys.

Ever since 9/11/01, it seems that Americans have been less and less afraid to show their yellow prejudiced underbellies. We didn't stop being intolerant in the 70's, it just went out of vogue for a while....

What you need to do is to rent the movie "Ghandi", the one with Ben Kingsley in it. It's a film worth seeing in any case.

Second, now that you know had bad it feels to be harassed and persecuted, never ever do it to *someone else*, for any reason. In a certain sense, the only way to learn that harassment is wrong, is experience. Unfortunately some people, instead of learning from the experience, decide to perpetuate it. This is undoubtedly what happened to your male classmates. It is foolish to think that you can teach them a "lesson", one that they have already refused to learn.

Third, if your teacher won't intervene, you need to find someone who will. Harassment, bullying, and prejudice in general, require ignorance and apathy in order to exist. If more students were open and honest about it, chances are, the teachers and admins. would make more effort to put it down.......

As another poster mentioned, if the teacher refuses to intervene on your behalf, legally, it's grounds for them to be fired.

Good luck,

Answer 6

I would take it to the principal. Neither the teacher or the aid seem to be concerned about you getting picked on. Students have a right to not be harrassed.

I would also, keep in mind, that maybe these kids are just jerks in general and they really aren't racist (except the boy who made the Africa comment). Maybe they are actually jerks to "everyone".

It is difficult being different than others, and kids automatically pick on anyone who is different than them, but just remember to love yourself for who you are. And you will make it through this as a stronger person.

Above, all, respect yourself.

Answer 7

PAYBACK IS A BISSH
first off you should record some of this with a camera if possible ( maybe cell phone cam of the teachers seeing this and not doing anything that is a lawsuit -

second you need to take barbq chips but sprinkle them with cayenne pepper - a lot of cayenne

third - if you have sandwiches? then get a hot chili pepper and slice it open rub it all over the meat - so that its extremely hot

if they take your drinks - take apple juice and piss in the bottle and close it back up make sure you freeze it the night before so when it gets to class it will look extremely cold and delicous -

they have prank powder at party stores and gag gift shops - its is not visible until you touch it and four hours later it will stain your hand for 24 hours -

take two $1.00 BILLS AND RUB IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THOSE ONES and then leave them half hangin out of your book bag - ( they cant wash off the powder )

next time they tell you to go back to africa tell them you would but their mommas puzzy broke down n that seems to be the town ride -

ask them have they shined the hub caps on the trailor so they can give you a lift -




good luck girl if i knew more about the situation i would help more

Answer 8

Racism is so horrible. I'm white but if i was in your class i would stick up for you. If your teacher doesn't do anything u should get the teacher fired. Try the principal or maybe a different teacher u know and have them straighten your teacher out.

Answer 9

First, this is harrassment. I suggest you inform your parents of the situation and have them meet the principal. Then, have your parents set up an appointment with the superintendent. Within these discussions mention "lawsuits", "harrassment", "intimidation", and the situation should be rectified. If it continues then you file a small claims suit against the boys and the parents. The last thing anybody would want is a lawsuit.

Answer 10

You may want to bring this up to the attention of the principal at your school. Have your parents ask for a meeting with the teacher, principal and with you so that you can discuss this with all. Then your teacher will have to do something about this real quick.
