There are big hassles to do with my Mum being so ill, but I've got used to them really. I'm not really settled in here yet, since we only moved here six months ago. It was hard leaving my Gran and the friends I'd made at school there, it felt like it did when I was nine and had to leave my friends in Cardiff.
I don't like it the way people take the mickey out of my accent and try to copy it, but it's not what I call a big hassle. My friends don't do it, only a few idiots who I don't really know and don't want to know.
I'm not very dark skinned, 'cos Dad's Mum, my other Gran, was white as well, but sometimes people ask about it. A few people can't understand that I'm both black and Welsh. I guess they don't realise that there are black people from Wales, especially Cardiff. Some kids at my last school used to call me names a bit. I wish they were here at this school 'cos then they'd get called names for being Welsh...
