I was bullied when I was a kid because I was white

And honestly? I feel like it made me a stronger person in the end, but when I was young, of course it was a rough and terrifying experience.

Almost everday for several months, I always walked to school in fear because of this Native American girl that would threaten to beat me up. One day I asked her why she always wanted to beat me up and she told me it was because I was white. I was 10 years old at the time and could not for the life of me figure it out.

One time when I was walking around the apartment complex, I was bombarded with water balloons from the girl’s grown ass older sister up out of the second story window and was told to “Get the fuck out of here, whitey”

I tried to talk to their parents, but the girl’s mom insisted I was the “same white girl that sat on the corner out there and cussed her kids out.” So I “deserved it.”

After awhile they changed their excuse as to why they were tormenting me. They said I had a pitbull that I set on their nephew. Once again I had no idea what they were talking about.

The scariest moment came when she and two of her older brothers chased me about 8 blocks. I ran as fast as my tiny legs would take me as they came after me on bikes. I remember I was on my way to the convenience store at the time to pick up some milk. I had a whopping $2.00 dollars on me and didn’t want them to see it because I was afraid they would steal it. Anyways, they ended up cornering me on a staircase at another apartment complex (I think thats what it was if I remember correctly.) They didn’t take my money but they still threatened to beat me up. They said it would happen one day and then just took off.

I never once got beat up and I’m pretty sure she was just fucking with me the entire time. You know, control me with fear yadda yadda. She never ever had to lay a finger on me to scare the shit out of me.

It all finally came to a halt one day when she started chasing me again and I guess an older relative of hers told her he’d kick the shit out of her if she laid a finger on me. So yeah, thanks older relative for not being a dirtbag!

I don’t know why I felt the need to share this. It feels kinda nice and liberating to talk about it though.

Bullies suck.

It’s Been Awhile

And nothing drastic has changed in my life.

So I’m just gonna post this:

21st birthday today

HOO HA!

Why isn’t this semester over yet…

I’m typing on Roland’s Macbook Pro right now. This is one sexy piece of machinery.

My paychecks are getting shorter and shorter and I’m getting more and more stressed out about it…I really need to start budgeting better.

Watching Family Guy

School is almost over. I still have to make a lesson plan for my social studies class. I’ve been thinking of it being about trade, and then at the end making some sort of Jeopardy game out of it. Ya know, one category being vocab words, one about dates, one about people, etc.

I finished up reading to my kindergartener at Layne. That kid is incredibly smart and talented. He’s five and could read a book to me about our solar system. When he came up on the word “asteroid” he was all like BAM and said “asteroid.” That’s not normal for a five year old. I remember reading words like “cat” and “jam” and “bat” at that age and feeling awesome about it.

Still need to do my Web 2.0 project for tech integration.

Anywho, in closing:

Oh, herrow

Utah trip was fun. I’m kinda glad to be home though. Would have been 20x cooler if we went to the Dinosaur Park in Ogden. > : (

I started using my Twitter a lot more. Yeah I know. I lead an exciting life.

I can’t wait until school is over. I have so many projects coming up that are due. I’m bout ready to scream.

End transmission.

Oh wait. Here.

Baaaabaaaaaaaaay.
