i have seen some asian girl being ignored in the class by other white girls. do you have a similar experience and how did you feel about it?

firstly, are you sure you're not one of those girls? Don't take offense, im not trying to insult you. It's just that you referred to her as 'some asian girl'. If you feel bad about her being ignored, that's a good thing. it means you have a heart. but just think about how she must be feeling. Try talking to her, be nice to her. Mind u, i'm not saying to be nice out of pity. but if you never try speaking to her, you may never know what sort of a friend you're missing out on.\nAt my school, we had a lot of international students from the asian region. They could all speak english pretty well, but they tended to keep to themselves. But i still spoke to some of them and some of them ended up becoming quite good friends of mine. Don't be afraid to break through the barriers. loneliness is one of the saddest things a person has to face. There is too much going on in this world for us to tolerate racism. It's when we allow racism to succeed that we get events like the Holocaust, and the Stallinist purges.\nReach out to her. She's human too, and for all you know, friendship from you could be just what she needs. Never underestimate the need for friendship. Don't worry about what other people think of you if you do this. Being nice to someone has its own rewards, and it's the right thing to do.

A lot of them are not citizens but are here on student or work visas. We get some of them trying to teach at our college and they barely speak English and will sometimes start writing in their language instead of ours. I've had to help my classmates in classes because they couldn't understand the teacher and would fail the course because of it, which affected my grade because I wasn't able to focus on my own work.

By my fellow classmates, yeah. Never by teachers.\n\n\nWith the classmate issue... by ninth grade I realized that if I didn't stand up for myself, highschool would be four miserable years of memories... and that I'd be a "victim" for the rest of my life, never standing up for myself.  I finally "stood up" to (Threatend is more like it - I'm ashamed to say) the main instigator of my misery and was never mistreated again.  In fact my friend base by, the time of graduation, was quite large.\n\nNaturally, this taught me that it's okay to stand up for myself.... and that people only mistreat me because I LET them.  And I NEVER tolerate abuse (physical, verbal) from people around me, either toward me or toward others.\n\nI'm not sure if this is what you were looking for.  Hope it helped.

okay, this happened when i was in HS.\n\ni was in spanish class because A) i needed a language class B) i already knew spanish and i wanted an easy class and most importantly (at the time) C) there was a group cute girls taking the class.\n\nso i ended up next to one of the cute girls and was able to chat with her for a good while. we continued to be friendly for the next week when in the middle of one of our conversations i felt the need to sneeze. now i was about to ask her out when the need was just too great. i excused myself real quickly and turned my head to face the other direction WITHOUT moving my body and gave a great big sneeze that shook my whole body.\n\nafter sneezing i tried to turn back to look at her and realized i couldn't... i could barely move my neck without any pain. i had to excuse myself, go to the teacher, get permission to go to the office to eventually see a doctor... all this time i was purpetually in a position where it looked like i was looking over my shoulder.\n\nturns out my sneeze had dislocated a disk in my neck and its new location was pinching a nerve. this caused me to have to wear a neck brace for a month. the worse part was that while i was at the doctors another guy asked her out and she agreed. ah well... at least i got an A in the class. *sigh*

"miss.china d" must have had a bad experience with them..\nMy buddy can say all asian women are whores since his mom cheated on his dad and all his sisters are hoes and his ex g/f(asian chic)wanted to cheat on him with me.She's probably pretending to be asian w/fake avatar anyways-(it's common in this site)...\n\nI can tell ya that all races have there A-h o l e s...\nI know that asian guys are the same as any...I know alot from school/work/parties,etc. and most of them are pretty cool and kick it like any other.There are way too many breeds(thai,vietnamese,cambodian,korean,and the list goes on for ever)...you'll get alot unfamiliararities due to many different upbringings...it gets confusing but I'm use to it cause the heavy population of them where I live.Hope ya get good contacts.

How many have u seen, i m an asian, and I do not shuffle my feet, although have seen many here in europe, where i am rt. now, who do and got annoyed myself.Demeneurs and personality traits differ all over the world, if u make this a stereotype thing, u'll start getting angry whenever u see an asian, illogically, without any reason....it would be far beyond the shuffling thing.

I think everyone has at least one teacher who loves to show boring movies, but that's no reason to act up.  Put yourself in her shoes!  Show some respect!  :-)

Not totally good. She either hasn't seen it yet or she is not interested. If you still have the same class together, ask her. What's the worse she could say.....You'll never know until you do.

I work in a school district that has many Hispanics. I was not surprised, but I was disappointed in the students that stayed out of school Monday --BUT DID NOT ATTEND THE MARCH! They just wanted to stay home and watch TV.

power goes to their head !!!!! we had a chemistry teacher in our very last semester of nursing school,who made it so hard (more than u ever use in actual nursing) that everyones average grade fell,most of us barely passed her class- and i had been on high honour roll for 4 years !!! she laughingly told us she liked to take everyone down a peg or two before we graduated.i got by,as my other grades were gr8,but for some,it put them in real jeapordy. i thought that was just plain mean and spiteful.she was a drinker,maybe that had something to do with it.amazing what u can get away with,once u have tenure !!!!

There are a number of perspectives on this type of issue.  I'd like to address one of them.  \n\nHow about the individuals who were at the bottom of the class but who worked far harder than any of the top 10, but because they were't blessed with the same intellectual ability, even though they did the absolute best they could, stayed at the bottom of the class and received no recognition at all for their hard work?  From experience I know that many at the top of the class often do not have to work as hard as those at the bottom of the class.  I think far too much emphasis is placed on being in the top 10 or at the top of the class.   Is it really fair to be rewarded mostly for something we have no control over and did nothing to earn  - the ability we are born with?  There should at least be equal recognition and reward for hard work and effort.  \n\nI have seen the frustration of children who work very hard for no reward, and the ease with which some bright kids were rewarded for little work.   With my own daughters I have seen one who could be very successful with little effort get an A+ on an assignment she spent an hour doing the night befor it was due, with the teacher comment something like "Awesome work!  You must have put a lot of thought and effort into this paper."   Her sister worked for days on her paper, edited, reviewed,  revised, researched, and got a B.  Teacher comment was "You could have done better if you'd worked harder."\n\nNo system is perfect, and not all students in the top 10 get there without effort, but there are injustices that need to be addressed.

It sounds as if she was embarrassed that you involved the teacher in this scheme. She might like you, but it sounds as if she thinks you are a "lose cannon" who will embarrass her in front of others. That's the real reason I suspect that she ran out of the room the next day. I think you need to be authentic (and stop the big surprises) and have a conversation with her. Be real, and apologize if you sense she didn't like your "stealth flower surprise". Maybe, if she gets to know the real you, without the "surprises", you'll have a chance with her.

It sounds like the first girl skipped class or just wasn't there, the second girl was curious to know what you asked her friend.  That's all.

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice these things. No, it is not justifiable. It is annoying. These people probably raised their hands in class saying "pick me...pick me". Ugh.

Is she alone in that class? I would love it if I didn't know a single soul in a class and a guy came up to me and introduced himself.\nOtherwise, just try to sit next to her and talk about something interesting that was discussed in the class. If you approach her with friendliness and a smile, she will reciprocate.
