Reflection of Problem Behaviors

Woro Retno Kris Sejati(2010110045)

            When I was in Junior High School, in 7^th grade, my friends always called me “Kriting”. They liked to called me with that name because of my hair is curly. In Indonesia, curly means keriting. In the first time, when my friends called me with that name, I did not like it. I felt uncomfortable with that name. I felt that I am different and I was not confidence in doing anything.

            Not only called me Kriting, my friends who sat behind me played with my hair. They used my hair became their joke. I did not like it. I said to them angrily and they were scared of me. Because of that, I always angry if my friend making joke of hair. Finally my friend scared, never play, and making joke about my hair.

            In 9th grade in Bahasa Indonesia course, my teacher asked me to speech in front of class. In the middle of my speech, my teacher called my name loudly, my true name is Woro Retno Kris Sejati but my teacher called me Woro Retno Kriting Sekali after he looked at my hair. He said that my hair like her daughter’s hair. They told me that her daughter look like Papua’s girl. Her skin is black and her hair is curly. Whole students in the class laughed of me in that time. I felt ashamed but I am not angry anymore.

            After the accident in 7^th grade that my classmate called me Kriting, my mother told me that I have to be wise to accept my hair. I have deal with it. Because of that advice, I was not angry in the class when my own teacher called me Kriting. I feel lucky because my hair now, because until now, my teacher still remember of me because of my uniqueness.

            Now, after me entering university and following MMSEL class, I knew that I become the victim of bullying when I was in 7^th grade. It was hurt me in the first time. Teacher should be able to handle the class when students bully their friends. And also teacher must be the role model for the students. So, they not allowed to bully their students.
