I knew something was wrong and she finally admitted that another girl who was two years older was making fun of her. I did some internet research and came across Beyond Being Bullied and we've really enjoyed working together and looking at all the wonderful things about her. She still isn't happy about riding the bus, but she feels much more confident and is able to tell me when she's just not comfortable enough to ride to school."
