Answer 1

I was going to bash you for posting this on a Mexican soccer thread...but nah!!!
I'll give you my advice.
I know its scary going into high school! I went to Van Nuys High and it wasnt the best school if we could put it that way. Its almost the same you say...gangs, fights and whatnot!
First thing you need to do...is just make new friends of the top! Make friends and stay close to them! Even some of these gangbanger guys....there not all that bad!! I'm not a gang member...but I have friends that are....and we're cool! Just strike up a convo with anyone and you'll be surprised who you could be real good friends with! As long as you have friends with you through all your classes...you'll be fine!! Also never mess with the wrong person and dont look for trouble....cuz you never know who your messing with! Unless they are provoking you......I would strike back...but I dont know about you! So be friendly and whatnot....now about spanish class.....thats something you might not be able to control. If you do speak spanish funny....people will laugh and dont take it personally. Laugh with them....if you learn to make fun of yourself....everything should be fine !!

I thought this problem was just in football but looks like it's in F1 as well. Could it be that they are just so patriotic? InnHamilton's case I think it's probably due to the fact that he and Alonso were team mates last year. They didn't get along and the Spanish fans were backing Alonso all the way as he is the only very successful Spanish driver in a long time. What's more it seemed that McLaren was behind Hamilton all the time. So it could be this and not racism. But if this problem persists the FIA might have to resort to taking Spanish races away from the calendar

Actually everryone has that problem from time to time. Some parts of the country are just not my cup of tea. I don't get too upset because they are great people, just not for me. Someone else doesn't like my style either. As a matter of fact I am not me, I am only in me. I'm not my background or memory, my accent or ideas, I'm not even my body, those are all things I own. I am an awareness. How can you criticize and awareness? I suppose you could say, you're not aware, but of course I am. They could say your not aware enough, ,how sad, sorry. I wish I could be as aware as you. Will you tell me how? Or they say, You should know by now!! That's fantasy, I'm not aware by now, you just said I wasn't, dream on. People like that have come from a family like that and I feel their pain. They are passing on pain like a virus, the trick is not to catch it and judging back means you caught it. A little, OK, a lot of pwychiatry could help them so I try to read up, get rid of my pain, theirs and then help theim by only using descriptive words, making me more accurate and positive woerds to be more happy by and set a good exaple. As a matter of fact people like positive non judgmental peoople so when I did that I became very populr. When we are aroound peopole like that we start using their negative judgmentla workds and become like them as they are like thier abuseerers in the sema wayl Only love can overcoem fear, the basis of all negativiey and the dark side.
I slooked up Emotional Inteeligence and, since it's such a lrge subject, sifted out what I could use and that made me more intuitive. Intuition is so much more powerful than our punny conscious mind. It appears taht going against the crowd hase huge rewards, but not against anything, but going with all that's good to do , say and wxpecially think, as I only wnat to bring home into the mind a healthythoughts. I like the phrease, "I live in easy world, where everything is easy." I guess a note on Polly Anna, kindness it's not blindness at all ,but awawreness. My awareness is better than your awareness is childish and most people have the emotional maturity of a three year old, science says. That is bad if your 14-16 the worst time, because your stuck and only have one level to go to. To be able to go up and down is adapting better to situations. The other problem with emotional immaturity is if it's negative, like having temper tantrums and always wanting your own way. How obnoxious. I say that knowing that using big words is obnoxious, but like maturity it's nice to have them if you need them but you don't have touse them or maturity, all the time. Well, rather than a full answer, that's my hint, Have fun and I have more hints on my profile. I left the typos on my answer to give the children something to do. It's hard to keep them busy, they have such a short attentions span and it saves me a lot of work.. "I live in easy world.", difficult world is not fun.

Answer 4

I know how you feel. I had some rough years when I was in school cuz I didn't know how to speak english and when I did I had a hard time with some of the words and the other kids made fun of me. The way they backed off was when I stood up to them I knew that there was a possibility of getting beat up but I was tired of being their joke and I was willing to put up a fight. It didn't get physical but I told them what I felt and they were quiet and didn't speak or make fun of me ever again. If you don't feel like confronting them why don't you talk to your counselor and see if you can switch classes. Talk to a teacher get their advice. Be confident and believe in yourself those kids are just ignorant a$$holes that have a low self-esteem and make themselves feel better by making fun of you and probably other kids. Brush them off cuz your better than them and you know what goes around comes around they will get some hard hits in their lives one day. Don't ruin your life by doing something you'll regret later. Rise above them. Stay strong.

Answer 5

Pleaaaaaaaaaase!!! Don't take revenge!! Even though you don't like to hear it, just ignore them. Hang around with nice people. And have more faith in God. People pick on people for any reason. I'm a Baptist Christian and people talk about me all the time. But because I have God on my side, I don't worry. I don't let it bother me. But I'm much older than you. Teen-agers seem to want to be popular are part of the crowd. I don't think that's important. You should be your own person and not worry what other people think. You need to be strong because this is a tough world we live in now and people are just mean. God Bless you.

Answer 6

You shouldn't care what they say, you go to school to learn and have some fun. About the revenge, just ignore them.. that'll make them feel stupid and that's enough. Later on, life will take care of them.. when they're too stupid to even get a job at McDonald's because they didn't get a diploma because they were to busy making fun of the Asian kid.

Answer 7

Man dont worry.......

im taking french class in my high school..... and i talk it in a funny accent..... but from time to time, i know that i will be better....... and other people dont laugh at me because most of them are learning how to talk french too..... and there are some students from France and 2 Canadians that talk French that are taking that class as well.... but they dont laugh at us..... they actually help us how to say a word correctly, and vice versa ( cause there learning spanish too)
