HUSSAIN'S STORY - Who's insulting?
 

Q: What do you think? How could Hussain limit the racist bullying and name-calling he gets? Try to think of some ways.

THIS IS WHAT HUSSAIN SAYS: I talk to my parents about it.

I talk to other black people about it, and other people who get called names for their skin colour.

I aim to be proud of who I am.

I try to remember that it's the racists who really have a problem, not me.

I try to explain to friends about racism so they stick up for me.

I try not to retaliate with more insults.

I pray.

I try not to let the racists see that it hurts.

I don't suffer in silence. Some teachers say I should report it when it happens and usually I do, and most of them are pretty good about it and get it stopped. You shouldn't have to put up with name-calling in school.
