The speaker discusses their personal experience with their name being mispronounced and used as a joke. They connect this to the larger issue of racial discrimination and the impact it has on adolescents. They mention that stress overload can affect habits and education, leading to barriers and self-consciousness. The speaker shares their own struggle with feeling the need to change themselves and the negative impact it had on their behavior. They argue that early experiences of racism can lead to negative mental states and affect behavior in the long term. They also discuss the disproportionate disciplinary actions and graduation rates for students of color. The speaker emphasizes the need for coping mechanisms and awareness of how racism can shape our lives. I am sure everyone has gone through the difficulties of people mispronouncing your name at least once in your life. I know it makes me cringe every so often to hear my name rolling off people's tongues in a way that was uncommon to me, though the point is not how it is being pronounced but in what context it is being done. I have the displeasure of having to experience my identity being used as an insensitive joke. The whole interaction has left me just feeling discouraged, though it will be clear how relevant this piece of information will become later on in the recording. For many years we witnessed minorities encounter racism without realizing exactly what it really means until they are older. Numerous research has been completed to demonstrate the consequences of stress overload on individuals. We further comprehend how it quickly has an impact on our standard habits and education which alter how we perform and accomplish success. While adolescents facing racial discrimination aren't being given the same chances as their peers because many children are left to deal with mental issues caused by trauma regarding their identity, they don't understand how to cope. When you are faced with the fact that others may not accept you the way you wish, this leads to feeling self-conscious which forces barriers between ourselves in order to shield ourselves from the judgment in the eyes of our peers. In my situation, it felt terrible that as an adolescent I believed I needed to better myself. I was personally antagonized for how foreign my name sounded to others. It felt dreadful that being young I thought I had to change myself to feel a sort of similarity between these strangers I had seen as classmates. It felt discouraging to learn that I personally was being targeted just for the goal of making one feel uncomfortable for another person's enjoyment. Essentially, I am attempting to argue that my past experiences with pressures have influenced my current interactions, particularly my subdued demeanor. This is what I am conveying with my inquiry, that painful memories from our early years will always be lodged in the recesses of our minds and lead us to have negative mental states, maybe due to worry or terror in certain cases. In a way, this will experience and alter my behavior throughout the years, just like how I felt many other young minds mentally different from how they acted throughout their youth. Some may have developed the difficulty of trusting individuals, while others may form an unhealthy mental state. Comparing my research to my personal situation, though, I feel as if elementary institutes have left me completely reserved and guarded from people around me. There have been other instances where I had not taken the chance to correct someone for the way that they pronounced my name, mainly in view of the fact that I felt embarrassed or that it would seem as a trivial matter. It does not make sense for victims of racial pressures to feel as though their beliefs aren't respected or acknowledged. Within my inquiry, I have learned that students behave differently in their late adolescent years with the influence of racism. Minors who witness racial injustice might consider themselves less valuable and engaged in response. A young person might cease participating in things they enjoy or voice out infrequently during the learning environment, learning degrades with duration, and prospects for future success frequently do too. The U.S. Department of Education reports that children of color hold a greater chance of being suspended or disciplined by triple the amount of normal white students. Early onset and lifelong soberness are the primary triggers of black children's mental wellness crises. First-hand experiences with racism for black children can take place prior to reaching school, and black teens claim to encounter five or more incidents of racial prejudice daily on occasion. Regulation at educational institutions is excessively centered towards younger black pupils for the reasons they are typically viewed to be less naive and mature than their years. The National Center for Education Statistics indicates that 87% of white students graduated from high school in 2014. The number of black students had been lower, totaling 73%. Analysis findings reveal an apparent disparity between races. In essence, it was demonstrated in this instance that teens of color were thought to have a reduced likelihood of succeeding. A few adolescents decide to rebel in opposition to educational institutions, maybe because they have reason to believe their identities have been severely disregarded by their peers, so they are refusing to yield to institutional authority. Ultimately, observing prejudice during the formative years of your mind has an impact on your behavior as an adult. Your future success may depend on how conscious you are of your surroundings and how much you overanalyze things. We must develop coping mechanisms because mental health is such a broad issue that it has the power to shape every aspect of our lives.
