I recently moved to a new island, and the black to white ratio at my new school is pretty much the opposite of my old school, dumping me into a status quo system similar to that in an american highschool, complete with the 'cool kids', 'bullies', 'gamer nerds', the generally uncool and the 'fat-chicks' group. And then there's the minority table inhabited by nearly all the black kids in the school above the 8th grade. Guess where I decided to sit.
But, the black kids are starting to piss me off, and with fighting punishable by expulsion, I have no way to 'settle our differences'. It's only one or two of them that are pissing me off, and the other kids in the school aren't the kind of people I can hang out with at every lunch. I wanna just switch schools, but my mom refuses to let me. What should I do? =/

I say to lead by example. You don't have to stay with one group your entire school year. Just visit each table that interests you one day a week. Or, find a less crowded table to sit down and maybe have other people gravitate towards you. If that does not work just tell the black kids who are pissing you off that you don't have time for their pettiness and then just walk away from them. Or don't say anything at all and just walk away. If they decide to be idiots and start something, make sure you walk towards/near a teacher that way if they try to do anything to you all you have to do is yell and not fight for a second or two and they will get expelled and not you.
Just remember that fighting is not the answer to solving problems... it usually makes more.
Hope this helps.
