do you think he did the right thing?

i was working into the building of school and i accidentally fall in the entrance outside, my legs were scraped on the hard floor and it hurt
normally when a person falls ppl who look at it ask to help them but...
because im a muslim girl with a hijab a boy was walking behind me and ignored it but i feel that if it was a non muslim ( no offence)
he would happily help because they like them

My guess was that this particular boy didn't know what he was "allowed" to do. Was he allowed to physically help you to you feet, for example? (I saw one post here on TSR a few week ago where someone said that she wasn't even allowed to talk to boys and objected to the fact that one had spoken to her.) Rather than risking breaking some rule and/or causing offence, he opted to do nothing. (Again, I'm just guessing.)

Based on the many, many threads you have started, I believe you think that the whole world is against you. No matter what happens, you interpret it negatively.

As a muslim, we are only allowed talk to boys just for important stuff such as if we need help for smth for class when we have a male teacher, but if he only asked 'are you okay?' that would be fine as he would have concern
i mean i never fall at the place or school and felt in pain

I'm concerned that you always focus on the negative. Look honestly at you posting record today. How many threads have you started? How many of those are about negative things?

My point is that that although you know the rule that "we are only allowed talk to boys just for important stuff", the boy behind you was likely unaware of that, and so decided it just "safer" not to talk to you at all.

As I said, how many threads have you started today? In how many of them do you feel that someone else (perhaps many people) are doing you down?

I'm saying that he wasn't aware that he was allowed to talk to you, not that he wasn't aware that you'd fallen. To quote myself:

It will help you to do this. How many threads have you created today? In how many of them do you think people are doing you down?
