Hebrews 4:14-16

14Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. 16Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Nice verses to think about.... Jesus really WAS tempted like we are... He knows exactly what you're going through all the time; he lived it! All your struggles, he dealt with. Any discrimination you feel? He went through worse- He, PERFECT and innocent, died, at the hands of those who hated Him..... how often do we feel like we're being sleighted.... and yet, nothing happens to us that even comes close to comparing to death on the cross.... So what if the teacher is bashing your Faith? Show her how real and relevant it is. Or.... if people make fun of you because of your stand on morals, don't let it bother you! Jesus told us that we will be hated by the world... because the world hates HIM... and if it sees HIM through us... we get hated for it. But we need to remember that this is being hated because of what we show- being Christlike....

Be as a star shining in the darkness, holding out the Word of Life.... (see Philippians 2:15-16)
