I am probably the only kid in my whole entire school who likes anime. I don't ever hear any kids talking about it. So I don't have a lot of friends. I think that now all the kids just want to watch filthy shows and make fun of people....

Where are you from anyway?? Hmm~at our school, even though there's a lot of people who treat otakus like weirdos, a lot of people still like anime. Most of them aren't that crazy about it though~

Why not join anime events and try to look for friends there??

I live in the United States of America. What are anime events and where are they located?

They did, but they stopped when I mentioned the fact that they were all trying to be black, when they were obviously white.

Edit: Although, I was only picked because I like the culture. I hardly ever watch anime, so that isn't the reason.

But, if all you do in school is blab about anime and sput random japanese words like "Kawaiiiii" and put "desu" at the end of every sentence and then dream about going Japan, you deserve to be bullied.

All the time. Its been that way for me a long time. But you have to let it go, just think of them being yes, somewhat racist, and ignorant. Just laugh and go on your way. That's what me and Kira_2009 do.

Sometimes, they even mess with my drawings and one time, a boy classmate of mine even dropped an entire case of my drawings from the 2nd floor.

OMFG, seriously, I thought people were tense and liked to bully people who liked anime and etc, but I never saw or heard of this thats a shame that people are that cruel that they pick on people for such small things, all I got really was funny faces or stares. if anyone touched me or my drawings Id kick their arses. People need to learn to have tolerance for certain things and if they can't deal I feel they should avoid those people seriously.

Where the hell did the squinty eye stereotype start? Most Japanese don't have anywhere close to squinty eyes. And even if they do, why are squinty eyes funny or something people like to make fun of? That would be like me making fun of you because your eyes are green.

Another thing. Why are there so many people attracted to asian girls if they make fun of asians in the first place?

I know what you mean, they are brutal. My last yr of H.S. students in my class teamed up and beat up a teacher I was like : o *looks around*

and yeah they are most certainly brutal to other students if they act different, or don't confine to norms. and especially if you like different cultures than your own, they HATE that.

Hmm~I don't know how it goes in the States but they usually involve cosplays, manga displays, contests and sometimes even hand out freebies.
Information about these events are usually found in websites which host the said event. Why not try and look for an anime site which is based around your area. Oh~you might also find some advertisements of anime events in anime mags.
