Originally posted by Leonard86fabian:Northland secoundry school located at yishun ave 1 is is not a good school. ever since my uncle's 14 yr old daughter study there, she comes back stressed and depressed. she's not eating well, complaining the other girls tease her n the boys all disturb her .even her so-called friends dont support her. Some also make fun of her race and cluture since she's a native of india who just came here a few months ago she's in sec 1 now and will be in secondary 2 next year. She's a bright girl. I have heard her crying in the room yesterday. So. i spoke to her she's afraid to tell her teachers and parents but she confides in me her studies. Her results declined although she passed but she's just not the same.
i called the office today n the cleark or admin was unresponsive. After putting me on hold for 50 mins, she said that if this is the case i should talk to the teacher. so i asked for the teacher said she is not responsible for the bullying and the disciplinary master was the one in charge. She said when school re-opens, she can talk to her.
Meanwhile this poor girl has to go to school everyday for CCA and she comes back home shacked/tired/exhausted. Not like a holiday at all! Untill school re-opens , bullying and exhasution the could be addressed this is northlands education enviroment i was even shocked at the teachers tone so uncaring i dnt want to mention names but when she said it was not her responsibility it was anoying to think she only wad job shes given n have no empthy for a student in her class i thought singapore schools r better but seems i was worng i hope some action will be taken i intent to talk to the principle abt this matter
re-edited for readability. the words in bold are things i can't interpret,
I think it's better to just move to another school...

You are going around this all wrong !!!
Nowaday Singapore kids have grown up with with all races & religion, so it is not that she is an indian issues - it is more then that.
Yes she maybe foregin, and she does not adapt to the local environment - refuse to or unable to - take may have cause misunderstand, or her actions or words even anger some of her classmate for them to treat her that way. Instead of looking for the real problem - you are just trying to blame it on others, and insist everyone to change to suit her.
I think running to see the teacher & principle is not the solution, it just set a very wrong example for your niece - she just learn from you to take the easy way out blame very one and insist everyone do something about it ... but ownself - think of it what example you set for her ? to blame her unpopular in school to everyone, but herself.
I think it is time to really review with your niece the real reason of her unpopular ? it maybe something she say wrong or some actions.
yup, not only foregn student get outcasted...
Have you tried approaching the school counsellor?
Every school has a counsellor
I don't think it's because local indians don't get teased; it's because they are used to it vs. someone who came from india and never experienced it before.
The best thing to do would be to reach out to a local indian teacher or make some local indian friends. They tease right back.
I agree, nothing to do with the race. More likely has to do with the attitude or social skills of that individual.
any update?
