I don't know why. It's really sad.<br /><br />Like Gigi, growing up in Hawaii was different. I never saw a case of bullying. Kids really tried to be caring of others. Thank goodness. <br /><br />Wait..Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972303700635004202.post-51127688716972683262009-10-30T20:39:13.526-06:002009-10-30T20:39:13.526-06:00I am glad she apologized.

How many can say that they would apologize for something awful they did to someone else? I still remember being in Kindergarten and watching my classmates bullying a boy in our class, me not daring to say a word. I have always felt badly about it, even though I was just a by-stander. It made an impact on me.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07360476402810561433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972303700635004202.post-8206522673639640392009-10-30T11:01:17.674-06:002009-10-30T11:01:17.674-06:00Very touching story.
