When I attended this school, there was a very clear social hierarchy. Students constantly bullied…read moreme, and teachers and staff did nothing to stop it. Many parents even encouraged the behavior. If you weren't considered "popular," you were treated as worthless -- and that mindset affected a lot of people.There were students who struggled so severely that it led to suicide connected to the environment here. Kindness was almost nonexistent. I saw things get worse over time: kids pushing, harassing, and openly telling classmates they didn't belong, that they were weird, annoying, or not worth being there.This wasn't just normal school drama -- it was a culture of cruelty, and it left lasting harm.

If I can rate this in the negative numbers, I fucking would. If you're Muslim, good luck on noting getting death threats and called Osama Bin Ladens brother. One prayer I'm Islam is Thuhr Prayer which is at midday. That's usually during recess, which means I have to pray during midday. It usually takes me 10 minutes, and I was the leader, which means I am leading a bunch of other kids, probably like 20. I prayed and due to that, I had to be late to class because I had to read long recitations. so I get sent to the office for being late, and I explain to the deen about this. And keep in mind I told him I'm Muslim and what does he say? "This isn't church buddy!" I told this idiot that I am Muslim. So just to piss him off, I also prayed Asr prayer which is after midday. So after the bell rings, that's near the prayer. So I prayed in the field just to piss him off. At the end of prayer, he insults me again, so I told him, "There are different religions by the way. Please learn that." I told him that to teach him. And don't even get me started on Ramadan. As most of you peopel know, you don't eat from dawn to sunset for 30 days. Simple. For the Muslim kids that fast, there is a table outside the cafeteria to nit see a bunch of kids eat. That is smart, but in the dumbest way possible. Why? Well, there is a window outside the cafeteria and all the kids who aren't fasting go to that window, eat in front of it, and I and all the kids that fats are seeing the kids eat. It's one problem after another. And now I'm reading the Quran during reading time in class. For those who don't know, the Quran is the Muslim version of the bible. I'm reading it and keep in mind it's in arabic. I can read Arabic. The teacher comes and says, "That book is not in English." He then lectures me and goes like "You need a book in English" and I get sent to the office. Now I have two adults lecturing me at the same time. The next day, I bring a Quran with tafsir, which basically has Arabic, but English on the side. I read, and then my mentally ill teacher says, "read literature". Then lectures me again. To be honest, what is going in this country? Since 9/11, arabs have been criticized in america and killed by gangs. Just complete racism.
