Hi. I have seen alot of people react if you dress up different. People here dont wear suits at school cuz they r scared people would make fun of them. But why should other people care abt da way they dress. I mean is there a rule that you have to wear what every1 is wearing.

People who wear scarfs get treated differently.

Very nice topic. 😉

When i was in school in India we had a boy and a girl from Nigeria and Uganda who were exchange students. On Saturday (non- uniform days) they wore their ethnic costumes at times. Every one stared at them rudely. 😡

As it is due to the skin colour you will stand out. If you dress differently it will be even worse.

This is life , if you don't blend in be ready for rude stares. If you feel hurt by the rude stares you can do the following . 1) Either get your self a think skin and stop being so senstive. 2) Or change and blend in and wear what the romans do !!

I know what you're talking about. Its very common in high school 🤢

But, frankly, how long will people stare at you? A week? Two weeks? Eventually they will get bored and start harping about how they want to marry Tom Cruise. 😛

yaar but they will continue to alienate you. I saw my classmate Zola(Uganda). The poor guy was always snigered at behind his back as long as he was on school.

This is one of those facts of life that we cant escape. If you are even slightly different people will treat u different and u will be alienated. U just have to accept it and not let it bother you, because if you do then u just give people too much power over you. and if you cant accept it then u gotta work to blend in and do watever u can to be "normal".
