Verbally abused in school just for being different

IN February 2011, I enrolled in a fully residential school (sekolah berasrama penuh) after doing well in my PMR exams the year before. On my first few weeks there, everyone seemed nice and I was greeted with the warmest smiles ever. I felt delighted and content.

My room mates were helpful too. There were seven of us: two in Form 5, myself in Form 4, one in Form 3 and Form 2 respectively and two in Form 1.
