I get the blame for everything in my school! The teachers hate me, for example, I was playing games on the computer at school and I got 20 mins of my break then our teacher saw another girl playing it and she did nothing!! ?? I think it's because I am from a different culture?

Hi thanks for your letter

I can see that you feel as though you are getting the blame for everything at school and feel that the teachers hate you. ChildLine is aware that school can be a difficult place for some young people.

Teachers are responsible for everyone in the class. They should treat everyone the same no matter what their background, ability or culture maybe.

Have you had a chance to talk to your teacher about what happened?  It sounds as if it's important for you to tell him/her that you feel it wasn’t fair. Even though you  shouldn't have been playing games possibly?

I might not change what has happened, but you might feel a bit better as you can explain how they made you feel.

Remember you can always talk to someone at ChildLine when you have something on your mind.  You can call us free on 0800 1111 or log onto the website for a 1-2-1 chat

Take care for now
