We have a new kid- Yin. Shes verysociable and fitsin so well. I like
her!
Thats funny.We have a new
kid as well: Jo.
Hes also VERYsociable. But, Icant stand him.
Jos irritating.He barges in
when were talk-ing. Just arrivedbut he acts as
though we grewup together or
something.
Its like hetakes ten ballsand serves them
one after theother withoutwaiting for theother player to
hit any! He needsto back off...
How come?
Theres another new kid- Ren. She just sits therelike a statue. Ren wont say
anything. If she were playingtennis, Ill bet shed just
stand there, waiting for theball to find her racket!
Hmmm, this is how Yinmakes friends- like howI play tennis... relaxed, no
need to win, no need toshow off, never mind whoserves when, just keep
the ball in the air!

True friends dontcare about what
you wear or looklike - they likeyou the way youare. So, relax,
just be you.
And, dont worryabout whether
youre a lovablekid... believe me, youare! I know I am -thats why its easyfor me to say the
first hello.
But, you can pick andchoose your friends.Its okay not to be
friends with kids youdont like. Play fair
and be kind to every-one, though.
Kevins right. Friend-ship cant be forced.Hey, but if you do wantto keep your friends,work at it! Take care
of relationships.
Sometimes, I cant
make out who islonely or sad. So,its simpler to be
good to everyone.And, hey, Ill be
good to myself aswell.
If someone cracksa mean joke, dont
laugh... its not funny.Every kid should feel
safe and secure atschool. That meansno put downs, nosarcasm, no cruel
pranks, no bullying ofany kind!!
And, for friends
to feel securewith one another,
there must be hon-esty. Lee and I have
changed. I needto stop pretend-
ing and talk to himabout it.

Look at us... wereall different. So
what? Let me be meand Ill let you be
you!Yeah, Nagib. Were not
alike in some ways.But, we are alike inother ways. Thatswhat makes it fun!
Who needs a bunch ofclones for a class?
Id like to fit in,too. Some kids
think Im a freakbut Im not. So,
dont be mean tokids like me. Helpus to get the help
we need.
Every kid must chipin for us to feel
good at school. If
your friends aremean to someone,
say somethinglike I did. Or, tella teacher. Dontstand by and do
nothing.
Also, dont letsomething like anaccent get in theway. I didnt. My
story started offsadly but we turnedit around to give ita happy ending. You
can, too!
Happy endings aregreat. But, why not
good beginningsas well? Im goingto try to give every
kid a fair chanceto fit in at school.
Will you?
