help…terrified of japanese school….?

Seira T: help…terrified of japanese school….?
i am japanese, but i’ve been living here for over 10 yrs so i like english better than japanese, and my mom registered me for a japanese school, which is kinda like the same thing as normal, american schools except everything is done in japanese and language arts is changed to japanese.
AND…
i went to a japanese school last yr too, but i had to quit cuz we had to move…
every time i go to a new japanese school,i’m really nervous cuz since ive been living here for a long time i have less of a vocabulary than the other people in my class, and most of them are super-duper smart when i’m NOT.
the teachers always treat me differently, my classmates see me as an outcast..
and it’s just HORRIBLE!
and now i’m starting it again!!!!
with five girls.
i always find that girls are MUCHharder to learn w/ than guys because they tend to hang out in cliques, and its rlly hard to get into a clique when they’ve established all their stuff.
HELP…
im not asking for japanese help.

how exactly should we help you? honestly there’s nothing WE can do.

just tell your mom you hate Japanese schools and it stresses you out. if she forces you to go, then report her to DHS or something.

Have you tried to explain your feelings to your parents? Please tell them exactly what you just told us. School should not be a place where you are made to feel terrified or like an outcast. If your parents don’t understand try speaking to another relative. I hope everything works out.

just tell your mom if she cna move you to another school, tellher that the teachers don’t really respect you, and that the kids don’t like you.

i have the same situation as you: i go to a chinese school, but my class only two girls in it and the rest are 12 guys. but i’ve also seen people in the other classes, like the girls in the cliques that you were talking about. the only thing most of my people have in common is that we’re all born in america and we all somewhat play an instrument.

if i were you, i’d probably make a fool of myself if i tried to join their clique. so i just make good use of my time (i’ve been through this before, in chinese school and american school :]). for example, you could do your homework from american school or japanese school, listen to music, or you could try joining their stuff, but do it before you actually have your break time, like ask one of them to help you with japanese or something else.

i hope this helps. =]

I honestly feel sorry for you because, while I’m not Japanese or even Asian, I’ve known Japanese families and children in them that have attended Japanese schools.What you say is so true. But if your mom insists that you go to a Japanese school then there isn’t anything you can do about it except try to do the best you can, in both your schoolwork and trying to get through being left out of things.

Your mom is probably from Japan so she feels that Japanese schooling is superior for what she wants for you. You can try telling her how you feel and explain your reasons, but if she is strict Japanese then it might not matter. One thing you don’t want to do is sabotage yourself by acting up or trying to do poorly in school. In the long run this would only do more do worsen your situation.

Good luck. I’ll have happy wishes for you.
