Disturbing Personal Note
Feb. 17th, 2006 04:35 pmThis should probably be posted on my regular journal, but I need people to comment and tell me what to do on this.
I just found out a half hour ago that my younger brother got suspended from school for a day because of me. Not because I did something, but because he was defending me from people who were basically sexually harrasing me to get to him.
It goes like this: sometime before Christmas break, Christopher overheard this group of guys making fun of gays, calling them queer, and faggots, and stuff like that. My brother piped up and defended them, saying that his sister was a lesbian, and that they needed to shut up. Ever since then, this one guy has been saying vulgar, really horrible things about me to tease Chistopher.
He never mentioned anything about this. Ever.
So today, the guy started talking about me in his lunch today. My brother must have been sitting near or something, but he finally snapped. Christopher punched the boy in his eye. Now, he's suspended for a day (don't know what happened to the other) but Mr. O'Conner now also knows about why my brother did what he did, and if he hears that it's still happening, he will tell my parents and they will make a complaint.
What I need help on is that my mom doesn't want me talking to Christopher about this. I want to at least talk to him, tell him he doesn't need to defend my honor, though I am proud that his 4 years of karate were put to use. This is really between me, him, and the bully. Hell, my brother's four years younger than me! He's only 11, and has taken it upon himself to defend a 15 year old.
Any suggestions?
