Tough Classmate

 Dear Jessica,
My teacher recently switched seats. I am next to the loudest kid in the class. His name is " Cody". " Cody" will not be quiet during class. He will talk right over the teacher. Not only that, but he throws milk cartons over my head. And " Cody" is immature enough to throw spitballs at the back of my head. Jessica, I am desperate for answers.
 Annoyed

Dear Annoyed,
It is a good thing you are desperate for answers because I have some for you. Ignore Cody when he talks over the teacher. ( He may not be talking directly to you.)   Duck when he throws milk cartons over your head. If this behavior continues, ask to be moved to another seat.

Too Different?

 Dear Jessica,
 I dislike school because I get  bullied. I get  bullied everyday because I am unpopular and "different". The popular kids always pick on the kids who are "different".  Why does this happen? What can I do to stop the bullying?
  Too Different

 Dear  Too Different,
You have a right to be mad about this. And yes, you can stop the bullying. Stick with your friends. If the bullies see you, go down a different hallway. Tell the bullies to stop. If that doesn't work, then tell  the principal. The principal will stop the bullying at once.
