overseas struggle

I am currently living overseas as a freshman in high school. This is my first year here and it hasn’t been easy. Over the past few weeks, I have been a main topic in many of the conversations held by the students. some right in front of me. They speak badly about me and my American friend in Spanish as if we can’t understand them. They call us white, stupid Americans, pale, and have even gone so far as to tell us to “Go back to the U.S.A where you belong.” What is supposed to be an amazing experience for me has turned into what might just be the longest year of my life where I have to sit back and just let people drag me through the mud.
