I am 12 years old. A couple of weeks ago, in class, a boy called me a skinny whore. I got mad and tried to say something, but he and his friend just laughed and completely ignored me. The teacher was standing two feet away, but she didn’t say anything. In another class, I saw a boy sexually harass a girl. I’d asked him to stop, but he never did. In fact, pretty much everybody except for me dismissed this as an ordinary middle school occurrence. Then, a little later, I heard a boy and a couple of his friends make dirty, sexist, jokes. This was the boy who the teachers had nominated for the all-around Giant Pride award- meaning that they thought he showed excellent caring, responsibility, and respect. What kind of school is this!? Is this really the kind of world that I live in? I’m moving to a different school next year.
