Ann, I do hope things get better for you. I had a hard time in school with a certain group of kids. I was hurt a lot and kids were mean. Honestly, I think the worst of people comes out in the junior high, to high school years. The mean kids become downright evil, and the nice kids become very abused, ashamed, and their self esteem is torn to shreads. It is a hard time, but please know that it's the special, wonderful kids like yourself who make it out ahead in the long run.

I personally feel that the kids who do bad things like steal from and abuse other kids are truly hurting inside. I know that it's hard to think this way through all your anger, but know that you are a stronger, and better person then they will ever be. I know you may not realize that until you are out of school and have left that era, but trust me, I truly think that those kids are hurting....aching inside. The rotton kids that do such things come from bad parents who don't love their kids.

I can tell that you are a very special, kind person. Your true caring nature and tenderness towards people here shows, and that is what will get you through this world. Those poor souls without loving, nuturing, caring parents do bad things and say bad things to make themselves feel better. They ache inside, though. You are better then them and you will go farther in this world then they will.

Hang in there, and know that you have alot of caring supporters who are on your side here

I hope you get another bike soon WITH a bike lock. I am sorry that it happened to you.
