ok so what im sad about is that there is no one i can relate to. So for starters im 15 and im going into 10th grade. Im black, but the thing is i live in a very wealthy all white area which i don’t mind at all! in my town i have more money then some of the kids, but since im black they all think its because of something weird. they say stuff like "oh black people are usually poor…..her parents must have won lotto" and its really annoying because my parents did not win lotto! they went to college and worked hard in life! And also they always make fun of my nose and my hair and i just wanna scream "so what my nose isn’t pointy and my hair isn’t strait! there’s nothing i can do about it so lay off!" it makes me feel so bad. also when i am around black people like my non-immediate family i don’t get along with them because they are from the inner city and i was always around white people so i don’t act "stereotypicallyally black" most people who met me comment about that lol. But its awful! in my honors english class my teacher turned to me and goes (since we are reading a book involving rascism) "how do you feel about this book as the only black person in class?" everyone turned to me and started to laugh! it was awful. dont get me wrong my teacher isnt racist! its just it made me feel really akward. sometimes i wish i was white……not becuase i think white people are better just so that i could fit in. when i tell my parents i wanna move somewhere else they just say "we worked so hard to live in a fancy place like this! we grew up in the ghetto so you should be happy to live in a place with no shootings" and i guess thats true, but i hate it here so much.
and thats not all that happens. when people come to my house even adults. They can’t belive i live in such a nice place. when i told my guidence counsler i was going to my beach house for the summer she got all suprised and was like "wow YOU have a beach house?!" People always judge me because im black and im sick of it! its not fair if i was white and said that i bet no one would have blinked!

OKay…I know what your going through..Im from New orleans and after Hurricane Katrina I moved to a certain part of texas. The High school i went to was about 97% white and mexican so there was a hand full of blacks. The whole time I was there I felt alone bc i was the only black n every one of my classes and I was already a outcast cause I was from New orleans.
I got through my High School years by just being myself and not letting them get to me because I knew one thing, that i can’t change who I am. So if they didn’t like it o well. After about a year and half people started accepting me because I showed them that I wasn’t about to take any sh*! from people who didn’t know me. Yea for a while I didn’t have ny friends, I even got into fights but I still knew I had a family I could go home to who were just like me.
Keep your head up and be strong, it just sounds like to me you have a lot of jealous people on your hands. Use that to your advantage and know that your da ish!! Good luck ma!
