Holding an assembly with the class

When bullying came up at school, the staff was very up front about dealing with it.  They talked to Stephanie about it and she chose to have an assembly with the rest of her class so she could talk about her CP and answer questions from the students.  It was really amazing and I never heard of her being teased again.

He was hurting all of the time

He got teased all of the time, but he would go and talk to the teachers and they would take care of that.  But I know he was hurting all of the time in school.

You can't play because of that

We never have crossed paths with bullies yet.  I know we will. I mean there are some nasty kids that say, “You can’t play because of that.”  I don’t know if it bothers him.  It might, but I don’t know.  He doesn’t tell me.  If there is, his sister takes care of it.  He asked me, “Well, what do I say if they ask what is wrong with me?” and I said to him, “Well, what is wrong with you?”  He said, “Well, nothing.”   “What if they ask you about the braces, what do you say?”  He said, “They help me walk better.’  We just try to be truthful with people about the situation.
