here once was a girl named Tahnee who lived in a country known as Malaysia. Even though she was born in Malaysia, she was considered a Bangladeshi because both of her parents are from Bangladesh. She was actually a very smart girl, and was capable of many talents.
She went to a primary school in Johor. She was the only Bangladeshi there - everyone else was either Malay, Chinese or Indian. The first 4 years was ok, but she considered the 5th year the worst.
Since entering 5th Grade, everyone started teasing her about her race. They said nasty things to her so much that she couldn't concentrate on her schoolwork. She was moved from best class to average class and she went down from the top 3 to number 17.
She entered the second-best class in 6th Grade. "At least this is ok," said Tahnee to herself. But the teasings still continued to 7th Grade - where she managed to get into one of the country's best schools and became a leader. She also passed an IQ test with high marks. But still people stay away from her because she's a Bangladeshi. Till now, she hasn't found a REAL friend.
