First of all deal with your anger. Are you a terrorist? If not then, instead of getting angry or upset, laugh at their ignorance because even their insults are based out of their ignorance. Yes it is difficult, but redirect your anger. It is often when the other tries to insult you they are tring to agitate you or make you lose your temper. If you do so then they have succeded. It is not a matter to them if they think you are a terrorist or not. That is not their goal, it is just to pick on you and make you upset so they can feel better about themselves. They lack what you obviuosly have, this is their way of dealing with their own weakness by picking on people.

Your anger itself gives them a sign that what they say is working. The more you get angry the more they taunt you because they know they are succeding in their taunts.

A suggestion....start doing Jap while at school, not necessarily outloud but under your breath...continue it thruout their taunts....if your mind erupts with rage or anger, know that your Jap is lacking. If throughout this ordeal your mind still remains content, know that your Jap was succesful.

Strenght is not only shown by muscles, but also through tolerance and being able to contain that serenity of peace within yourself regardless of what happens on the outside.

Recite nitnem at amritvela

Then throughout they day recite the naam wheneva confrontation might occur or wheneva you need gods help.

i speak from experience, it got me through my skool days, but when i got lazy and didnt do my nitnem my days usualy screwed up, but not so bad, kinda like a warning. a reminder to repeat the name of god to protect me.
