You asked about our experiences, so, ill tell u abit about life, i was born in London southall, and then moved up north east into Darlington, and i was really small then at the age of 9 went back down with my family and lived here. So back to the experience (In Darlington) Nursery was great nothing happened there, but when i had to move schools and go to a non sikh or asian school thats when the trouble started, note i used to wear a jura and ramaal, so no patka, and my mum and dad had a newsagents shop, we used to have trouble everyday, but when me and my sister done kertan never! So in school i always used to get looked at really wierd, but some teachers respected me, there were loads of times when some big people used to push on some spiky bushes, and used to take my jura off and laugh at me, they used to gang up on me alot, i always told guru ji that just kill me now i dont want to bare it anymore, my studys were really low aswell, and we used to go swimming some times the kids used to make fun off me by tieing a towel over there head and all laugh and look at me, or because off the shop they saw my dad and used to say that ur dads bin laden there was trouble in the shop aswell one time someone threw my dads dastaar off his head
i was deeply sad , it used to anger me alot but i couldnt do anythink. i used to complain to the headteacher, it made it better, but not alot so i told my dad to complain, it got better but still the kids would exclude me from playing with them, and then little kids used to hit me.... so i was all alone, i used to go to the gurdwara aswell, there was a local one with amazing, sweet giani's and a gurdwara in southshields that was brilliant, i felt at home there! and the people there knew english! There used to be a dozen more sikhs aswell but spread out in Darlington, The long term effects are that whenever i see a white person like a skinhead i get very scared and try to avoid them but its gone better now, also that whenever people laugh behind me i think they made a racist joke about me and think there gonna take my patka off or something (i wear a patka now) so these racial effects have made a really big scar on my life........VJKK VJKF
