Advice On What To Do by Barims(m): 1:17pm On Apr 30 |
I've been bothered by something lately. I'm 27 years old and studying at university. I've noticed that my classmates disrespect me by addressing me by my name, despite the fact that I'm significantly older than them—probably about 5 to 6 years older. It's really bothering me, and I'm not happy about it. Imagine someone I'm six years older than calling me by my name. Should I just distance myself from them since I'm uncomfortable with the way they treat me as if we were the same age? Or what'd suggest I do ? Please no insult pleasure 🙏 |

I don't even know if I should laugh at you or pity you You want your course mates to call you what exactly? Brother, uncle or senior? Lol. If the age difference is wide they'd probably address you as Mister. Uncle you have to let this slide. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

Barims:Sheybi I have call you uncle. Let it go. You will only hurt yourself more because with time you will blame yourself for being so old and still in Uni. Truth is you are not old... I've seen 35s and over in class with under 20s Just calm down. If you must do anything about it, you can take up a nickname that way the sound of your name from your classmates won't hurt you. 2 Likes |

Re: Advice On What To Do by Highestpromoton(m): 9:45pm On Apr 30 |
Barims: I get now, however don’t expect your course mates to call you egbon or uncle, you are in a higher institution and you are not paying their school fees. After I graduated from the university, I went to Law School in Kano, I had 5 roommates, i was older than 2 roommates with 6 years but you wouldn’t know because I was so cool with them and vice versa. Just be respectful and you will be respected. |
