Unfortunately we live in a very discriminatory society where bullying is so normal that nobody does anithing o stop it. In this days are many suicides of teens because of bullying that is unbelievable.

From my point of view the only way that this teen could fit in our society is by hiding his ideals, his roots, his language and been one more of the lot, a normal teen like any one else.

4.- In my school discrimination is everywear and in every single day, in and out the class rooms. In my class the is a guy who I will not mention his name, but hi is a brilliant mind, and is allways tying to participate and cooperating in class by racing his hand but at the exact moment hi raice his hand all the bullies start laughing at him and throw paper with insults or ofensive draws. The thing is that hi will never try to participate in class again because of the bullying, hi is not scared of bullies hi is terrified of them. This is how our model society kills brilliant minds and made them feel like nothing.

Racism is something that shouldn’t exist and everybody should think the same about racism.” He said. That’s the opinion of a Teacher from the Mackay School. Carlos Salas, Language teacher.
