Why did you nickname me?

, , , ...

The way you look or anything you do makes you get a nickname, either you get with it or you hate it. They reflect something peculiar of you but sometimes you don’t want to be reminded of it. Usually your classmates are the ones they put you the nickname, but something curios for me when living in the USA is that people asked you if they could call you that way.

That was very different from Mexico when people start asking you a way you don’t want to be called, while in the USA, because many reason like getting sued for many reasons, even one time I was asked if I could be called “Texas” because a shirt a brought to Team Sports class, they even thought I was from that place also because the different way I talked and looked.
