So on Thursday I brought a pride flag to school to show my mates because most of us are a part of the LGBTQ+. I brought it in and my friends and I were walking around with it and joking about it (Inside jokes!!) Then some older kids come over and they were already whispering and looking at us, one of them asked to see the flag and my friends were like "No" because I knew and they knew exactly what would happen if we did give them the flag. So one of my friends ran away with the flag so they wouldn't take it.
The older kids then started making jokes and saying discriminatory things about the flag. I have a Trans friend who uses the pronouns he/him. We were walking away from the situation to ignore it, I hear a thump next to me and I hear my friend (Trans friend) say "Ow, that hurt" and I turn around and see a ball after being deliberately kicked at his head.
I was really angry but I managed to stay calm and we walked away.
Then later that day in the afternoon I was walking with one of my friends who uses they/them pronouns, I was wearing the flag on my back like a cape and we were joking around and stuff. When I got back to the classroom and the class I was in, one of the girls in my class at the time was whispering about me carrying around the flag and they were laughing about it. I did feel upset but I tried to ignore it for the rest of they day instead of dwelling on it and making myself feel like shit.
