ok so i am 14 years old, i belive in sikhi alot and have alot of trust in the gurus, i havent taken amrit yet but plan on taking it later this year.

resently in school i have experianced raceism, i was really shocked because i know the people who were being racist as they were close friends.

i have been in the school for 3 years and me and my class got on really well for 2 years and everything was going ok until he third year stared but the thing is they arnt raceist to me but they are to one of my friends but he is only half sikh and dosent even keep his hair and turben unlike me thats why he dosent tell hem to stop it so they carry on. now not only the people in my class are raceist but they have made there friends in other classes star too.

i have tried the saints way and tried talking it out with them and they said they wont anymore so now they do itt behind my back so i told teachers that i thought could do something about it but they didnt do anything, i tried talking to them again but their still raceist and they still take the mik out off sikhs and talk about turbans.

i know if i take a shaster out i would get expelled and would be uneducated ive tried using my fists but no luck.

sometimes it makes me think like i would be better off dead because there is no one i can go too.

1 thing that might work is if they knew that being raceist to sikhs comes with a price

what i mean is if the sadh sangat of sikhsangat could try and put pressure on him by seding emails and text messages telling them to stop being raceist to sikhs.

sadh sangat the more messages that are sent the more likely they are going to stop

sadh sangat can you please tell as many people about this and to e mail and text him as much as you can

do more paath, in ardass ask for chardikala, this will help you not be bothered by them. instead of getting upset, try to remember that peopel are caught in maya and so their actions stem from ignorance. their nindya will just put the bad karams of the person being slandered on their own head.

brother I would advise you to go straight to the head teacher of your school, get your parents involved to make a complaint. They think its funny to make fun out of turbans because social networks like Facebook and others that have not taken action to remove racist pages against Sikhs so it becomes the norm some ignorant kids grow up thinking its ok to make fun of the turban because no one stands up against this abuse however if it was a hijab or a jewish skull cap made fun off there would be serious consequences.

So best way to approach this is get your parents involved and get your parents to contact the local gurdwara committee chairman so that political pressure is applied that way you will have backing of more than you and your folks against the unacceptable abuse, which is also against the law so in theory if nothing was done you could get sue the school and get the media involved.

Harmeet, tell us which country you're in and which major city you're close to.

Once you tell us, as a collective we should be able to get you names and numbers of a person or organization that can contact you personally to help.

You've done a great job by trying to talk and by sticking up for your friend and by posting here. It's our turn to help you. Please follow up.

First of all, your one tough kid for standing up to all these guys. Think about it, all of them and one of you. True Singh indeed.

Get your parents involved, school is for learning not for dealing with these idiots. Let it motivate you... work really hard, be top of your class. I can promise you that they better you do in life the less of this crap you will have to take.

If you live on the west coast let me know, I would be happy to come to your school and have a talk with whoever needs a talking to.

Keep your chin up champ, its only making you stronger.

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
