I am definitly not snickering about been scared about been away from home... I share your fear School is crud somtimes, kids can be mean. Have you tried talking to the kids that are mean? If so and they didnt stop. I would tell you to go to your principal or teacher, but somtimes that just makes it worse. Don't worry about the trips though. Its is somthing you can overcome, and the only way is to go on those trips and take is a step at a time.. Hope every thing gets better soon.
