well, tell him not to feel so bad because i can't make it in to a 10 foot hoop. and i'm 5'6. in fact i can't make it in to any hoop that i can't touch. and believe me, just about all the guys on the basketball team have tried to teach me...and i still can't shoot. and yes....10 year olds still make fun of me. so, i was gonna say, yeah i had a point to this.um...yeah, so i hope everythign works out, it's sad how older kids amke fun of little kids even though they're still little kids themselves
