Have you ever been treated differently at school because of the color of your skin, the amount of money your parents make, your gender, a disability you have or anything else? H. S. Student about situation 1: The only time that I can think of was in second grade when my P.E. coach told me that I wasn’t a good thrower because I was a girl. If you haven't been treated differently due to those items, do you know someone who has? H. S. Student about situation 2: One of my friends has a “lazy eye”. She gets made fun of a lot. Tell what happened when you or someone else was mistreated. H. S. Student about situation 1: When the coach told me I couldn’t throw because I was a girl, we were playing a baseball game. That upset me. I have never forgotten that. H. S. Student about situation 2: When my friend gets teased, it’s usually when we are in the hallways. She doesn’t do anything about it. She just ignores it. Once I remember a guy saying to her: “Open your eye a little wider.” I really haven’t done anything except to be her friend. What, if anything, did someone at the school do about the situation? H.S. Student about situation 1: My aunt was a teacher at the school and she talked to the coach and let him know how it upset me. He never did anything like that again to me. H. S. Student about situation 2: Nothing has ever been done about the teasing. I asked her once if she had ever told her mom, and she said, “No, my mom can’t do anything about it.” My friend doesn’t ever talk to anybody at school about it. I just try to be her friend.
