Do people hate the way i talk?? :(

I still don't get this "aboot" thing..
I'm Canadian and I can assure you that I do not say "aboot" lmao.
But anyways, about those guys.. you pretty much owned then by showing them that you're not a little *****. If something happens again just be like. I don't want to fight over something stupid but if you guys wanna continue then I'll knock you and you're little ***** friend out.
loll.
GJ though and don't worry about it. If you really feel the need then just get your dad involved and yeah.

Defo wont get my dad involved he would get arrested, and as for the aboot thing i do not say it anything like that just sounds normal to me but i think like south park has made people think we say aboot.
Do you think i should go play football tomorrow?

Where abouts in the UK are you? I'm sure the norm is that no-one really cares where you're from, and it kinda proves those girls are dumb if they think you're from the US with a Canadian accent :rolleyes:

I didn't mean get him to deal with it or anything but if you feel really threatened then maybe talk to him and then he could get authorities involved or something if it gets really serious.
I would probably go out and play because if you don't then you seem like you're scared or something and that's exactly what they want. Although it wouldn't be a bad idea to stay inside and let it breeze over.

It's not your accent, it's just kids picking a fight for no reason - it happens all the time.
Though, we have a Canadian kid in our 6th form who's just moved to England. I must confess in the first few weeks we had fun with his accent but he loves the attention and plays up to it.

Absolutely nothing wrong with your accent. I don't know where in the country you are living, but accents across the whole of the UK are very different. I imagine these girls haven't travelled very far, and probably think their accents rule, which is quite narrow minded to say the least. I live in the south, and accents in the north I don't always understand, but that doesn't make my accent any better or worse than anyone elses, and I certainly wouldn't make fun of anyone because of their speech. I must admit if I heard someone call their dad 'Sir' I would be surprised, it's pretty rare here. Don't change stay polite

Don't stop playing football, you have the same right to use the local amenities as anyone else, stay strong and stick up for what you believe is right.

There just jealous of your accent

Thats how it is in UK, if some one wants something and some one else has it, they don't like it.

Just ignore them

[Dudey!]

Er, there just having a laugh, bit of inter-country banter eh
You should say something back about England, plenty of stuff tbh.

[Andys]

they're just idiots.

good to see you have manners

i just want to blend in a not be singled out

I dont think taking swing at someone and then hitting them in the back of the head is banter as for saying anything back dont you think this will add fuel to the fire?

Personally, I find the Canadian accent the most ANNOYING ACCENT to listen to. but I wouldnt make comments about it, that's just CRUEL.
