The Shoved One
Dear Kid Helper,
I am not a big complainer, but there is something on my mind that I need some help with… At lunch, someone in my grade is always shoving me out of the way just as I am about to sit in a seat next to a friend. I feel that he/she is doing this on purpose to keep me from enjoying my lunch. It’s been going on for a long, long time, and I really want it to get better. What can I do? Sincerely, The Shoved One |

The Bullied One Dear Kid Helper,
I am a little nervous about reporting this, but here goes…. Someone has been bullying me at recess. This is how it goes. I try to play a game with some people in my grade, and then this one person always changes the rules so that I have no chance of getting to stay in the game. Every time I ask to play the game this person also gives me a dirty look and acts like he/she doesn’t want me to play. I am feeling really sad about this because I just want to have fun at recess but this person is making it really hard for me to do that. When I walk away, no one follows me to see how I am doing. I need help with this. Sincerely, The Bullied One |
