Why are people always making fun of me for no reason?

[mimi051998]

If it's not strangers it's my family judging. Today I had an assignment for my class it was a poster about domestic violence and this older lady laughed at it. Another girl told her that this was a serious matter and it was not funny. People are always putting down my work and at this point, I believe it's because I'm the only black person in the class. I'm not the best because I'm new to this thing but it's just rude. There was this time last semester when a couple of students started making fun of my project but when someone else had something as “bad” as mine they didn't laugh or make jokes about it they just gave him advice to fix it. I showed my parents the business card that I did and all they had to say was “Does she like it”. My self-esteem is so low nowadays because people are always making fun of how I look, how I talk, how I take pictures, why I don't like pictures, and my every movement. I thought high school was the problem but it's just getting worse. I hate myself that bad because of the bs I've gone through. I know not a lot of people are like this but I just can't get a break. I have a lot more to say but I think I already said enough. Any advice would but so helpful thanks in advance.

You are missing the bigger picture, why do you care? You shouldn't, your value doesn't depend on other people's opinions and you are making a mistake by building your self esteem and value based on what others think, if anything that only letting you see their rotten side of their personality, you are showing your potential in whatever you are doing and should only care about improving on that, they can laugh all they want but your actions are far more effective than their worthless opinions, when you try to do good there will always be bad trying to stop you, that's something you should always remember and let it motivate you.

You're right and thank you.

Are you still in school? Where are you? USA? Other?

[mimi051998]

I'm in college in USA

[noohair]

And you are the only Black person in class?

[mimi051998]

Yeah

[noohair]

Wow! I live in Central Florida and there are many different kinds of people. I use sarcasm and it shuts people up quick. I don't take shit from anyone. I hope you find a way to get what you want from school and then get out. All the best to you.

Thank you!!

I’d honestly just snap and hit em with a smartass comeback. It worked in 11th grade. They stopped pushing me around and respected me more. I also carry myself with confidence yet also like to walk around alone to show I’m not afraid of being on my own. Hold your head up high. The worst they can do is start calling you “snooty/snobby” because thats what I’ve been called ever since I stopped letting people talk to me any kind of way. Fuck em. Don’t let them phase you. Focus on your school work. Get it over with and keep praying. You’ll succeed

Ok hold on. First of all there is no one in this world that make you hate yourself. . only you can do that.. your also the only one who can love yourself. Your the only one that can make you happy..

Because you're the only one inside of you

. You're going to find out in life that there are many people. It don't like themselves.

Those people. Are usually bullies.
They hate the way they feel so they pick on other people to make them feel that way because that's the only thing that makes them feel good

. Everything on this planet there's a holy war going on there's good fighting evil at all times no matter what
When you allow somebody to beat you down like that are you make yourself feel like that then you're. Becoming a part of them their side the bad the evil f*** that.

That's not your destiny you're going to a learning. You're going to get things like this all the time because you have to prove how good you are at all times

How strong you are how wise you are
You need to show you need to prove yourself to yourself that other people cannot bother you.

You can show them there's a better way in life by handling with the do to you say to you in the best way you know how because that's who you are and you refuse to go their way you refuse to go to that side you refuse to be evil that's not who you are that's not who you meant to be

In life when we were born we were all given a gift the same gift the gift of choice we get to choose who we want to be in this world by the things that we say and do it's our choice

There's also so many things going on in this world and if you look at it it truly is a holy war.

You're either going to be evil miserable just like those people are you going to dare to be better and step up show them who you really are by doing the right thing let them want to be just like you

If you believe in our God you believe in this universe well he's right there with you and every step you are him he is within you.

He's not only going to test you but you're going to test you to become the best of you become one with yourself one with others and one with this universe that'll get you in the door where you are going this is your destiny don't let anybody else ever make you feel the way that you feel right now never ever if you do that's your choice.
And you need to find a way to beat that to be better than that let it go prove who you are by the things you do and say let them change and be like you I know it's hard but I know you can do it
