Here on the 3th of January 2010 I will be interviewing Sarah mohameed through skype chat .Sahrah was one of my classmates from a private freelance art class that I attended in the summer 2006 . Sarah is a collage student in Bahrain .

Deena : Tell me Sarah , why is art considered special to you ?

Sarah : At first it was because I have always enjoyed art from an early experience , also the fact that my parent's work are art-related . (My father is an private landscape designer and my mother is a private house designer ).

Deena : What about after that ? what else was art considered to you ?

Sarah : Well , after that I used art to become my voice to help me speak to my parents .

Deena : Can you tell me a brief idea of when did this happen when you felt the need to use art as your voice ?

Sarah :In a girl's only private school , I was known as a the rich ,youngest ,freshman geek in my class and every spoiled girl there was bullying me . They called me names and was pushing me around , asking me to give money to them .

Deena : How often did this happen to you ?

Sarah : almost every school day when it was lunch break and the girls ( who was older than me ) . would push me to the girls' bathroom and order me to give them money .

Deena : Why did they pick on you specially ?

Sarah : becuase I was the youngest and they knew I was too shy or scared to stand up to them .

Deena : Did you ever try to tell anyone ? your teachers , parents ?

Sarah : I told my homeroom teacher first and she said that its ok , that its normal and that I would get over it .

Deena : Did your teacher talk to the girls who bullied you ?

Sarah : Yes , but the girls still bullied me .

Deena : And your parents ?


( sorry folks , I lost my conversation with Sarah through skype there . there is a bad connection back at her place so we will continue later on ! )
