Last Week at The Building of AYA.
In the last week of the program we all learned a lot of new things we work in our projects for the last presentation.
Our topic for the team Bat was about immigration. Immigration is the action to come to live in a foreign country. In my personal experience. I’m Mexican-American. I got raised in Mexico sense I was a baby. I studied all until, Primary. “Primary” is equivalent of elementary school and the first year of middle school. I just to suffered a lot of bully , I never knew I was American until I was like around 8-years old. The boys of my age just to make racist jokes like “Go back to your country Just like you Americans do to us the Mexicans” I never quite understand why do they just to be mean with me, with the pass of the time I understand what was to be in a country that it has suffered a lot of racism.
This come into how our community’s get affected and how doesn’t just affect community’s. Los Angeles a place, that not a lot of people know that it was created by immigrants around the world.
In my Opinion Children who were raised in Mexico but hold American nationality may experience bullying due to their unique cultural background and the perception of being different. While attending schools in Mexico, American-raised children might be subjected to teasing or exclusion by their peers, who may view them as “outsiders” or “foreigners.” These children may encounter language barriers or difficulties adjusting to their new environment, further exacerbating their experiences of bullying. It is essential for educators, parents, and communities to foster a supportive and inclusive environment, promoting understanding and respect for diverse cultural backgrounds, to prevent such instances of bullying and ensure a positive educational experience for these children.
