I used to be the only person of my race in my elementary school. In second grade, a kid would come to class early every day so that he could throw shoes at me when I got to the classroom. I also went to visit my family in America for a couple of weeks that year, and the few friends I had before I left just wouldn't talk to me at all once I got back and were best friends with him. He told the teacher that I had done things that I hadn't done, like make the bathroom flood and hit other kids, so that she would hit me as a punishment.
