My Struggles as a mixed race teen
I feel out of place all the time. I live in the UK, I go to a medium sized school. There are around 5 other kids of colour at my school.
Racism really seems to be an issue, especially the n word being used towards me. I have reported it once, to the head of my year, she dealt with it brilliantly. although the second time it was a different year head, they asked me some questions and then it fell by the wayside. No one seems to notice how damaging it is when people say stuff like that. It may seem simple and harmful but having someone say “why is there a n***** in the corridor “ when you’re just walking and minding your own business really affects my anxiety. I don’t know what to do anymore. I guess I just want to know that someone understands.
