I had a talk with a kid I used to sit with a lunch and he’s been struggling with bullying for a while know because he kept saying racist remarks and people found out he was texting inappropriate messages to girls in his class basically asking for pictures and to make out with him and he also leaked his address to one of them. I would admit I used to tease him after hearing about all of this at lunch but then I realized he wasn’t like that anymore and locked in which I honestly respect. Today he approached me during lunch and I didn’t want to talk to him but once I saw his phone and what he typed into his translator app because he dosent speak good English he looked me at me dead in the eyes and said “read”. He looked so sad and depressed man, I tried to give him a hug but he pushed me off and said “nobody like me” and I was so crushed hearing that. This isn’t the only thing he said on his translator app that I have linked there’s also a lot more translations he typed but I couldn’t really sneak a photo without him knowing. Before this picture I took he expressed how he wanted to kill himself then he told me how he wanted to get revenge on everyone after school ended and he wants them to know to never mess with him again. When I asked him why he was feeling this way he typed into his translator app that he was joking and when I took the photo of it he caught me and said to never show anyone. The principle said it’s no big deal and he believes it’s a joke and he told me to not worry because he said it would happen after school ended and there’s not much he can do. I am really thinking about escalating this to my local authorities, and my superintendent because if he actually goes through with this I am going to live with regret for the rest of my life.
