Racism has existed throughout human history. It may be defined as the hatred of one person by another -- or the belief that another person is less than human -- because of skin color, language, customs, place of birth or any factor that supposedly reveals the basic nature of that person. It has influenced wars, slavery, the formation of nations, and legal codes.The ideology underlying racist practices often includes the idea that humans can be subdivided into distinct groups that are different in their social behavior and innate capacities and that can be ranked as inferior or superior. Here's a story of a 15 year old boy who faces racism.

Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Nigeria and Syria are countries at war where many people, failing to live in those conditions, escapes being in Europe, hoping to find a better situation for a living. A hope that very often is destroyed because of the exploitation of them by the Europeans. Often they die travelling cause of illnesses, hunger or simply drown in the sea. Coming here often have no place to sleep, food to consume, then, conditions in order to live. Immigrants in recent years has grown excessively including both those of an economic nature, which so, come here to work and documents, while others run away from wars. Immigrants coming here asking for work and Asylum, this leads to the entrepreneurs to make an unfair agreement. Then, enter into an illegal work, the state instead of intervening by sanctioning employers who take advantage of illegal immigrants and to guarantee a return policy which respects the basic rights of the people, do not intervene, so abusing immigrants by lowering their dignity.

Nowadays racism is that particular type of discrimination with which each of us (some more than others) must deal.
I have never been discriminated against in the true sense of the word, except when i was nine years old, when i had friends who insulted me beacause i was wearing glasses.
Bullies do not realize the evil that they can create.
If we turn on the TV we can see that there are many victims who commit suicide because they are discriminated.  In fact, I know a girl who has been put in hospital for a long time because she was a bit fat, and consequently she didn't want to eat, go out...
Everyone should understand that one wrong word at the wrong time can cause serious consequences

The problem of discrimination, even though we are living in a developed society, is still strongly present and goes hand in hand with the phenomenon of racisim.
I personally have been very lucky because i have never suffered from such such acts; sometimes my classmates made jokes about my outward appearance, but it was nothing as they were simple jokes that made me laugh and not serious at all.Although i haven't felt directly on my skin what racism is and time i talked to him he told me he was.The victim of insults,stupid jokes,but also threats. All this led him to feel bad, not to eat,to stay at home and not to accept himself.
Bullies should understand that sometimes a sentence, a word can do much more harm than a fist and then you have to respect everyone regardless of culture, race colour or religion because the consequences can be very serious. Just turn on the TV and see how many victims of bullies because such offensive alts have become unbearable to them.

Althought we are in 2016 racism and discrimination are phrnomrna still present in the lives of many people . I personally have been the victim of such incidents many times, because I'm an african boy who lives in a European country. It all began around 10 years , before that I had never been insulted because we were all kids, and we only thought about playing without regard to skin colour or religion. I began to notice to be set aside when all my classmates began to exclude me and many did it because their parents had told them to stay away trow me.Such offences grew more and more to stay intense about my skin colour , my religion and many times without reason even against my family. Initially they wew words that causedmant bad thoughts in me but the passing of time I learned to shrug them off and not to consider the people who insulted me. Luckily, this problem today is not present as before because I am living in a small town and all the people have understad that I am a good person and they respect

Racism has always existed in our society and has changed the world history.
Personally, I think that racism is just pointless.
Some people are discriminated against just because they are coloured, fat, Catholic or because they just wear glasses.
There is a proverb that says "don't judge a book from it's cover", but people are not enough curious to see what's in the book.
Anyway, nobody was born a racist. You become racist, because your parents taught it to you.
If only people didn't judge before knowing a person, this world would be fairest; but I think that racism is a problem that will always persist until we are used to live according to stereotypes.

We were born in the same world, we grow up, we unite to make new human beings…and finally we die. This is our life, same life for all ones, all living beings, also animals. We have the same purpose to live.
Sometimes we forget who we are, but we’re going to judge others for the different color of skin, facial features, different languages, culture or religions, but we forget that we all belong the same race, It's the sole human race in all the Earth. In fact, under different color of skin we have the same color of blood that circulated in every body, the same heart with which you feel love in the same way: love for own children, parents, family. I can't understand why some people feel disgust, discriminate who is different from them, with insults or improper behaviors; this is incomprehensible and It should be punished.
I had some very unforgettable and unhuman experience: I was born in Italy, but my origin country is China, the so-called land of yellow people. One day, in Cremona(where I have lived since when I was very little) while I was going to school by bus (I have attended the first year of secondary school), some boys of high school called me "little chinese" and threw me orange peels. I didn't do anything because they wereolder than me and I didn't understand why they did It,  what changed in their life? I know only that It changed my life, making me an  introverted, shy and pessimistic girl, who doesn't believe in herself. Another fact is: when I was having a walk in town centre with my friend and we were passing in front of some guys, they screamd: Shit chinese! Ect...
Things like these are happening every day with foreigners and It should be stopped.
Some large companies are taking note to resolve this discrimination, companies like Benetton, who made some conflicting, shocking advertisement that help people to reflect on their actions, some thing  provocative and really revolutionary.
“No one was born to hate their fellowmen for race, religion or class to which they belong. People learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can also learn to love, for love, for the human heart, it is more natural hatred. " said Nelson Mandela and I think that every one should to take example from him to make a unite and better world to live together.

Even though the following article mentions quite a lot of good examples about how to treat refugees, it also mentions this: "According to research conducted recently by Save the Children, child refugees in Greece have been out of school for an average of 18 months, with one in five of those never having attended a school. Chios is home to more than 700 children under eight, and almost 400 between eight and 17."

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Walking two abreast and hand-in-hand, a line of children cross the municipal gardens in the island town of Chios, Greece. As the line snakes through the narrow streets north of the square, shopkeepers come to their doors as they pass by. Children and locals exchange good mornings.

For many of them, those "kalimeras" are their first experience of a new language, the language of a new home - though how long they'll be here is anybody's guess. The children are refugees, and thanks to the efforts of Be Aware and Share (BAAS), a small Swiss NGO, they now attend a 'school' unlike any other in the country.

Many of these children have been on Chios since March, living in one of two makeshift camps nestled under the port town's medieval walls. Physically, the camps are as close as could be to the centre of island life, but the sense of two distant worlds existing side-by-side is inescapable.

Nicholas Millet is one of the project's founders and now a member of the BAAS team. He describes their morning walk as "the most positive interaction the children have had with Greek people". "Its an amazing connection for them, and a kind of positive reinforcement," he says.

The project began in late May, welcoming 40 children in its first week. By the end of the second week, they had welcomed 120. Every pupil attends two lessons a day, as well as a "project" class, which can be "anything from art, to gardening, to how to brush your teeth".

According to research conducted recently by Save the Children, child refugees in Greece have been out of school for an average of 18 months, with one in five of those never having attended a school. Chios is home to more than 700 children under eight, and almost 400 between eight and 17.

The project organisers are clear that their work is no substitute for a formal education. But, following on the heels of the launch of Unicef's 'Education Cannot Wait' initiative, the project is already reaping important rewards for both the children and their community. "We're trying to provide structured activities for children, so they can see the basics of what it would be like if they went to a school," they say. "We're not trying to be a school."

To look in one of of the classes, however, you'd be forgiven for thinking they were doing a good impression. The morning's classes, for six to 10-year olds, are taught by two Syrian couples, formerly primary school teachers in their homeland. The children are enthusiastic and polite, and the school's popularity is only growing. "They're engaged, they're very engaged," says Millet, "and we get new kids joining, older kids who didn't come before."

"The kids have clearly shown signs of progression. In terms of their English language, the way they behave, they're developing at a very quick rate. In the mornings, they're always so excited. They're queuing up and waiting for us before we even get there. And you can walk around the camps later on and see them doing their homework."

These have been difficult months for Chios, a small tourist destination at the EU's southeastern frontier. After a year and a half in which more than 150,000 refugees have passed through the island on their way to the mainland, around 3,000 have been unable to leave the island since the EU-Turkey deal in March.

Tensions have run high at times amongst a population unable to travel and unable to work, and living in hot and overcrowded conditions. Volunteers and local officials agree that the project has been a vital pressure valve.

Litsa Arsenopolou, head of the Department for Migration and Social Integration, acts as the go-between for the NGOs on Chios and the national authorities. Speaking to The Independent in a personal capacity she was clear that "the life of the refugee population has definitely been improved" by the project. "There was a need for the children [on Chios] to be occupied," she says. "Some had never been to school before, so it's good for them to see how a school community works."

Millet agrees. "It's been amazing for the parents," he says. "Many of them have been sitting here for months, watching their children doing nothing, every day. And for many of them, their children are the reason they left their home in the first place. Maybe some of them were starting to feel like they'd failed in their duty to their children."

Youth Centre

Last month, the project expanded to offer lessons to the island's third refugee population, residents of a high-walled registration facility further inland, as well as a youth centre for teenagers and young adults.

Overseeing the youth centre is Bastien Seelhofer, another founding member of the project and formerly a social worker in Bern, Switzerland. "I want to make it their home," Seelhofer says of the youth centre, "a space where they can come and talk about their situations, their problems, without feeling pressure from officials, or from their parents.

"They might leave the island in two or three months, so we want to use this time to help them grow up, and to learn about the world, like what kind of cultures do we have in the world? What kind of religions? The difficult thing is the kids between 16 and 18. There's a lot of troublemakers in that age group, and they've developed a kind of gang with some of the young adults." That 'mafia' element was blamed for a fire in the camp in June, which destroyed a communal sleeping hall. "Every family and every teacher is scared of them, because they're still living in the camp," he says.

Seelhofer notes that security has not been increased "at all" in the camp since that incident. "I want to protect my kids, and my volunteers and my school, so we can't start with them in normal lessons, and this is why I wanted to start the youth centre," he says.

After two weeks, 75 teenagers and young adults have joined the youth centre, attending twice a week for classes including communal cooking workshops. Teenagers and volunteers go to the supermarket together, cook together, and sit down to eat together. "It's an amazing bit of normality for them, and a chance to show their skills too - some of them are trained chefs," says Millet, who describes washing dishes with an Iraqi teenager. "He turned to me and said 'I used to do this with my mum'."

That normality, the organisers hope, offers an alternative to teenagers who are "young, vulnerable, and could turn to crime". "They've got something to do now," says Millet, "some of the kids have pretty busy days!"

'An oasis in a desert'

Its founders are not the only ones to recognise the project's importance. One of the island's deputy mayors called the school "the most positive thing that's happened on this island in months", while a visiting delegation from the European Commission was similarly impressed.

Seelhofer recalls that Margaret Tuite, the European Commission's Co-ordinator for the Rights of the Child, was shocked when she observed minors and single men sharing sleeping containers in the camps. The school, she told Seelhofer, was an "oasis in a desert". "The only positive thing I've seen all day," she said.

In June, Millet travelled to Brussels to attend an informal meeting at Tuite's invitation. He said: "I used the opportunity to talk about the situation in Chios, why the school was needed, but also how we shouldn't be the ones trying to do this - the situation shouldn't be there in the first place. These kids are stuck on this island, there's no protection, there's no support. Our school was an emergency response."

That emergency response now regularly teaches around 120 children per week, welcoming new pupils while some move with their families to Athens, to continue their asylum application. But for all that the project is a powerful force for good on the island, for Millet and Seelhofer, the success of their project is bittersweet.

"Children and unaccompanied minors are not the EU's priority," says Millet. "I came away from Brussels thinking nothing is going to change here. The kids will stay stuck here, and their protection will remain as bad as before. And that realisation reminded me why our project is so important."

For BAAS, the ambition is to put these children in a position to enter mainstream education at the next intake. "We're hoping that these kids will be, by law, in school by September," says Millet. "These kids have a right to a normal education, they shouldn't be neglected. It's something that, eventually, the state is going to have to take responsibility for."

One of the many problems that we often talk about and you hear on television is “child abuse”.
The most frequent forms of child abuse are: physical, psychological and sexual. This abuse can be defined as behavior by an adult person, it may be a stranger or a relative.The cases of violence against children are the most difficult to learn because they are rarely reported, for various reasons: the young age, inexperience and the shame of the victim.
This violence is also reported through the songs, an example can be the one composed by Sonohra.
The song is “THE SKY IS YOURS”
These are the words " Close your eyes, the monster is still there
Feeling strong, feeding on your silence
Save yourself, from the man who stole your sweet dreams
Feel the need of living consciously
And truly free

There's no reason you should hide
Heal the bruises of the past
Don't look back on what is lost
And live your life
Hatred is still haunting you
Close your eyes to reality
Cry your truth out loud tonight
The sky is yours

Run away, I tried to hide the fear
Silently it's tearing un your soul
Pray your god, 'couse the monster is the man you love more
than yourself and the need of feeling free and clean

There's no reason you should hide
Heal the bruises of the past
Don't look back on what is lost
And live your life
Hatred is still haunting you
Close your eyes to reality
Cry your truth out loud tonight
The sky is yours

You don't know what laughing is
You don't know what living is
If you want, you can defeat the pain
And the emptiness inside your soul
beneath the shame of memories
you can rise and break the pain

There's no reason you should hide
Heal the bruises of the past
Don't look back on what is lost
And live your life
Hatred is still haunting you
Close your eyes to reality
Cry your truth out loud tonight
The sky is all yours.
There's no reason you should hide,
There's no reason to give up
If you want the sky is yours.

To fight this problem there are many associations. The important is to denunce and be courageous and talk about this with your parents. We don’t feel afraid of people that are threatening us, because compared to us, they are losers and we are better and stronger to face this situation.
