If it is bothering you a lot, tell your mother that you told your teacher and principle and they did nothing about it. Ask your parent to speak with your teacher and principle on why they did nothing about it. When they see that your parent is involved, watch how quickly they become involved. If the kids still do it, ignore them and they will eventually stop. I don't see anything wrong with the last name Lamas. If it is boys that are teasing you, they might like you and don't want their feelings for you to show. If it's girls, they are probably just jealous of you.

The people who do that are going to find something to condescend about...in your case it just happens to be your name. BTW..i think it is a fine name.

With kids the way they are, they will find something to make fun of on those that are different, be it a name, what they look like, clothes, etc.  If you instill a pride in the name and why it was done even if they are teased it won't matter.  I am named after a hack romance novellist but because of the reasonings behind why I was given the name the teasing didn't matter.

Not my brothers but when i was in school, and the teacher used to say that if whoever had done the thing wrong did not own upto it the class would have to sit in silence for the rest of the day, i would own up even when it was not me.  Got sent to the headmasters office and then got the cane.

It always made me so mad whenever I'd get blamed for stuff I didn't actually do when I was in school.  If I were you, I'd talk to the teacher when she is alone, and just tell her that you honestly were not chewing gum, and that you don't appreciate falsities being spread about you to your other teachers.  Talk to her with respect and she should listen, and also respect you more for setting the record straight in a respectful manner.

Dude that's totally jacked up. My teacher hates me too and she calls me out for things I didn't even do, I think she should be taken to court because she lies. Stand up for yourself. I did

I don't have a middle name, only one of my brothers does. When people ask me what my middle name and I say I don't have one; they laugh as if I am making a joke or I somehow am ashamed of a name I don't even have.

talk to your counselor or school administrator.  If the teacher is aware that others are aware of an interpersonal dynamic, shell be less likely to put it on display.  Id take the additional step, if necessary, of calling a meeting with the parent and the principal.  The comment she made in front of the class certainly puts her in a tenuous position.  Id take another student in to verify she made the comment and then put her on the spot by having her explain it.

I'm only 13 but i go to school with a couple of people who i hate as much as they hate me. they make-fun of people(teachers) and blame it all on me. the so called "nurses" that work with you are probably just jealous of the people they make fun of and you. I advise you to just smile and ignore them. if they make a rude and or inappropriate comment about anyone just walk away. but if this comment is about you say " at least i don't get my fun making-fun of the people who i am jealous about." and by the way i can tell that you are a very smart person by not joining them and keeping your personality alive.

Well as you know, Black people rarely stick together.  According to our ancestry, we are all African by birth.\n\nI would suggest contacting the principal of the school and the other child's parents to have a sit down to rectify this situation.  Let the child know that is totally uncalled for.\n\nFurthermore, I would suggest that the child being slurred try to ignore the comments.  Easier said than done, but if one ignores foolish acts, it makes life a little easier.

i don't know what you accusation you made against him but he must be terribly hurt by it? i don't know if your note to him would make things better from his point of view for the damage to his name has been done?\n\ni think you will just have to wait until school starts again and talk to him face to face. apologise to him and be sincere and maybe he might forgive you. hurting someones reputation is quite a cruel thing to do and i don't know if his heart will be accepting any apologies soon? he might have lost total respect for you?\n\nif it really bugs you and you are tossing in your bed with guilt, maybe you should call him? i know his family might be annoyed with you so get a friend to call on your behalf.\n\nnext time, don't falsely accuse!\nhope all goes well.

Your teacher will probably have you all sit down.  Then she will ask you your names.  The teacher will be real nice.  Just do what she says, and you'll really like school.  It will be fun.

You can get example from my history teacher. He tried to joke us and says funny things about us. He always talk interesting stories about the ancient world during the lessons. And he uses a mindmap to explain the lessons better. When the class become noisy, he usually makes us quiet. Sometimes he shouted or give us a break. My class is really obedient, he would only give us permission to move around but not too much noise.Try your lessons to be active and funny and interesting. Just because he is a good teacher, we still haven't forgotten him. But don't let your class to take this oppotunity to get noisy. One thing is my teacher never scolds people without a valid reason. Instead, he tried to joke so that the class is more active and more attentive and enjoy the lesson.\n\nTry this way. Wish you all the best and good luck.

I would talk to another teacher in your school, the principle or vice principle.  They should not be talking to you like that_

Omg, my friends did the same thing, but they are just kidding around.  They always make fun of me because they think I'm a perfectionist, but I'm actually not one at all.  Just laugh it off and if it really starts bugging you, pull them aside and tell them you're not going to dumb yourself down just to get the same grades as them, but you'd be happy to help them if they need it!
