No... You can't let those aweful people win. If you let them win, they will just keep doing the same mean things.

It's so stupid, and I'm glad schools are trying to do something about it.

It is not nice for people to be mean to you! But it is important to wash your face even in the winter! Otherwise it will be dirty!

I know where you're coming from. I got told not to be so sensitive all the darn time, so now I can't stop beating myself up for feeling pain. Good for you not letting them win.

Screw the mean people!

No one ever told me not to be sensitive; I hid it from my parents and my teachers because I didn't want to show them how blubbery I would get. That was my small bit of pride, and it sure bit me in the butt later. My parents still don't know anything about me.

Thanks for writing.
