The Weird Kid In ClassThere was a kid in my class who stood up every day and told everyone he had new shoes. This went on for weeks, and we all thought him nuts. Then, one day, he stood up and told us a long story about why his family were moving to another part of the country, and how excited he was. The next thing we heard was that he'd died in a plane crash.
Let's hear about the weird kid in your class...

A lesson for bulliesA boy called Jake Chapman in my year used to get bullied constantly at school. He never used to wash his hands and he had quite a bad speech impediment; the few friends he did have abandoned him as soon as the taunting began. He had a brother, but in a different school and not around to defend him.
Jake did have a talent though - he was very good at drawing. Mainly fantasy characters but also people, and even "still lifes". His work was sometimes put on display at school - but didn't stay up too long.
I was flicking through Friends Reunited recently, and a few bullies' names came up. They all were in IT or sales; all decent jobs, but nothing to write home about.
You know what Jake is doing now?
He's a milkman.
