Taking a stand

Having something to say

I am not what you would call the popular one at school. I started school earlier this year and had a few friends. Then some one found out I lived on a chicken farm and every one in school thought that was really funny. So instead of calling me by my first name people started to call me "chicken man". This made me feel about 2 inches tall.

I went to talk with my school counsellor who suggested I just agree with what they were saying. So I did and it worked! One student (who is now my friend) didn't even know my name, and one day he was sitting next to me and he started whispering "chicken man" really softly and it started to get louder and so I said WHAT!!!! And he just looked at me and he said it again so I said unless you have something to say, stop calling my name. He then stopped and asked me what my real name was. I told him and ever since that day he has stuck up for me.
