Very heartbreaking thing i read on reddit I will instead copy and paste all the things he commented on the thread. There's a comment that's deleted hence why is better to post it here
"I was physically taunted by mostly other black people and one white person.pirate jokes and making fun of somalia etc
this was around late 2010s/early 2020s, so I haven’t had the best high school experiences"
"In the past, I was constantly targeted and made fun of because of my physical appearance. I was skinny and short, which made me an easy target for bullies. Sadly, the discrimination wasn't limited to just me; another Somali boy also faced the same ridicule. It was disheartening to witness the lack of action from the teachers, who failed to address the issue and allowed the mistreatment to continue. As the laughter echoed through the school hallways, I couldn't help but feel a mixture of frustration and helplessness. The constant taunting and mockery built up over the years, creating a reservoir of anger within me. However, rather than letting it consume me, I found solace and release in the gym. It became my sanctuary, a place where I could channel my pent-up emotions and transform them into something positive. Through hard work and determination, I've undergone a physical transformation. I've grown taller and gained more muscle, which has not only boosted my self-confidence but also empowered me to stand up for myself. The gym has become more than just a place to work out; it's my outlet for all the frustrations and negative energy that once plagued me. Yet, deep down, there's a part of me that still carries the scars of those experiences. It's natural to wish for some form of justice, for the bullies and those who turned a blind eye to the suffering of others to face consequences for their actions. There are moments when I catch myself fantasizing about karma catching up to them, bringing them face-to-face with the pain they once inflicted on me and others."

"Mostly Jamaicans they call somalis dirty"
I don't know what he meant by this whether it was actually jamaicans that was bullying him or if he's talking in general but I'm more inclined to believe they were Jamaicans.
He replied back to someone who said if the bullies did they beat you up and he replied with "a little"
"I’m safe now but I do wish things could have been better and a lot of the somali boys in my year were assholes, so there was no unity"
"you’re forgetting these dudes were huge and tall, I couldn’t do anything about it back then …obviously now it’s a different story since I’m the same height or even taller than them."
(I wish I knew what part of the uk this was because I refuse to believe people having the guts to bully somalis in London, knowing well our reputation here as people not to mess with not to mention by 2020 somalis taking over rap culture etc, is weird how there were somali boys in his year that didn't do anything to help this helpless boy uff that pissed me off) @H.Moonie
