Last year was I was in 1st grade of middle school and it was woman’s day. I think we had started chatting in history class about it (the teacher was female) and then a boy (good student, seemed good) said that women are mops( or something like that). I really couldn’t believe that he actually said that. It seemed ( and still seems) so stupid. If this happens in 1st grade of middle then what will happen in my next years of school? I am SO glad this website exists so that it can ( at least a little) prepare me for what’s waiting in the next years to follow. School will start in about a month. This year I will really try ( because I’m an introvert and shy and not very social) to stand up when people are being sexist.

Another story of mine in 1st grade of middle school was this: because when school started I was very alone and shy and anti social, I didn’t make many friends very quickly. So at break time I’m talking to my classmate from elementary school and another classmate of mine from elementary school comes and asks us if we’re dating. I was so angry and me and the other boy start telling him thing like “No! Of course not! What the heck are you talking about?!” This happened to me again with the same people and it came to a stop when I said to him that it wasn’t nice and he said that he was joking. Just because I’m talking to someone from the opposite sex, it doesn’t mean we’re dating!
