They would also push her from the stairs, punched and kicked her. She told her friend about what happened so she started to go over her friends after school so she won’t get bullied by Frankie and his crew. Later, her father found out that she was at her friends not at the after school program without knowing what was happening to her at the after school program. In the essay she tells us why she didn’t tell her father, “ I didn’t tell him because I didn’t think he could help me.” She did tell her teachers but they didn’t believe her.

But at that moment she told Frankie in front of everybody that she hates him and hoped he would die. When he died she didn’t cry. She was 10, and she was very
