Jackson sat at his school desk and looked over at the new kid in class. His name was Billy and he just moved here from Florida. His first day in class was yesterday and, so far, Jackson had not talked to him. Today, during the break, Jackson was going to try to make a new friend.
When the bell rang, Jackson hurried out of his seat and followed Billy outside.
“Hi Billy,” Jackson said as they walked outside. “Do you want to play basketball?”
“No. I’m not very good at basketball.”
“Do you want to play kickball?” Jackson asked.
“No. I’m not good at that either,” Billy said. Billy walked away from Jackson and sat on a big flat rock in the grassy part of the school yard.
Jackson stood there and wondered what to do next. He asked Billy to do two things and both times Billy had said no. Maybe he didn’t like Jackson. Maybe he didn’t want to be friends. Jackson thought about playing basketball with the other kids. He looked over at Billy sitting on the rock all by himself. It must be hard to move to a new school, Jackson thought.

Michael Todd wore the same clothes every day for the first three weeks of school. When the other kids began to notice that he was wearing the same black trousers and blue long-sleeve shirt day after day, Todd, a freshman at Preparatory High School in Memphis, was laughed at by everybody at school. However, there was little Toddy could do, for his mother just couldn't buy him new clothes.
Two of the kids were Garrett and Graham, a pair of football players. But over time, they realized that their hurtful words at Toddy felt like bullying and seemed to be slowly destroying Todd's pride.
Graham thought that he needed to do something, so he and Garrett made a plan.

It was my tenth birthday and I would have the biggest party ever. The guest list, which I kept at the back of my homework assignment folder, began with a few close friends. But in the two weeks before that special Friday night, it had quickly grown from seven girls to a total of seventeen. Nearly every girl in my fifth grade class had been invited to sleep over at my house for a big celebration. I was especially happy when each guest I invited excitedly accepted the invitation. It would be a night of scary stories, pizza and lots of presents. But as I later realized, I would truly treasure only one gift I received that night.
The family room was a flurry of shouts and bursts of laughter. We had just finished a game of Twister and were lining up for the limbo when the doorbell rang. I hardly paid attention to who might be at the door. What did it matter, really? Everyone I liked from school was there, in my family room, preparing to lean under the stick held by my two sisters.
“Judy, come here for a minute,” Mom called from the front door.
I rolled my eyes and shrugged to my friends as if to say, “Now who would dare bother me at a time like this?” What I really wanted to say was: It's tough being popular!
I rounded the bend toward the front door, then stopped. I knew my mouth dropped open and I could feel my face turning red, for there on the front porch stood Sarah Westley-the quiet girl who sat next to me in music class and she was holding a gift.
I thought about the growing list in the back of my assignment folder. How had I forgotten to invite Sarah?
I remembered that I only added a name to the list when someone had shown an interest in me. But Sarah had never done that. Never once had she asked me about my birthday party. Never once did she squeeze into the circle of kids surrounding me at lunch time. And once she even helped me carry my backpack while I dragged my science project to our third floor classroom.

I guess I had forgotten to invite her simply because she wasn’t pushing to be invited.

I stood there with Sarah’s gift in my hands and an empty feeling in my heart.

My heart pounded as I stared at the screen. I re-read the message from my friend, Noelle. Someone had upset her by sharing her personal news, a recent development Noelle had shared with only a few close friends, including me. She didn’t know who let the word out, but she was hurt and disappointed.
I felt so guilty. I knew how the news had got out because I had been the one to tell someone else. Honestly, I hadn’t realized she meant to keep it so close to home, but at the same time I’d known it wasn’t a good idea when I started to tell it to someone else.
Did she really not know it was me? It would have been easy to come clean and apologize if her note was an accusation. But it read as though it had been copied and pasted to several people. So I chose the coward’s way out.
“I’m so sorry that happened to you,” I typed. “How awful that your confidence was broken.”
I hoped that would do. Her reply came back within seconds: “Thank you.”
Surely, that would be good enough. I didn’t take responsibility for my actions, but I’d sympathized with her pain. It would be okay for me to remain anonymous (不公开姓名的) as long as I was sorry, wouldn’t it?
But, deep down, I knew I’d been the one to break faith and hurt her. I was ashamed, not only of my original action, but because I’d put wrong upon wrong by covering it up.
I felt miserable at church on Sunday. I tried to avoid communication. Watching others take part while I sat in silence was a painful experience-one I never wanted to repeat.
Later, the speaker in the church challenged us to examine ourselves and see if anything stood in the way to being the best of ourselves, and if so, we should not to let it stop us and we needed to clear it away.

As a beginning teacher, I was faced with a lot of challenges，but the one that took up most of my time was Amanda. about forty inches tall with her head down, chin (下巴) against her chest, looking out at the world from the tops of her eyes with anger on her face. She was ready to battle with any comer. To beat all, she was repeating third grade.
I quickly learned one child had the power to interrupt and destroy my classroom. And worse, Amanda had the power to ruin my career even before it got started! I really wanted to know what made her such so I asked around and heard some incredible stories about the “little tornado (龙卷风)” who left destruction. About the only positive information came from the reading teacher, who insisted she could learn.
I contacted Amanda’s father and suggested keeping his daughter after school for teaching. My plan went beyond study because this child had the poorest social skills. On the long list were common politeness, table manners, and learning how to respond respectfully in unfamiliar situations. Obviously, I had to solve her problems in behavior as they were a huge barrier to success in study. There was no end goal. Rather，I hoped that what I could do would lead Amanda to become a cooperative (合作的、配合的) member of my class.
The first day I kept her, we talked about how she felt about school. Amanda had had very negative experiences in school, which influenced her thoughts on almost everything else in her life. However, when I talked with her about things she enjoyed, she wore a shining smile on her face. She liked to shop and she loved Dairy Queen Ice-creams.

Mark was an 8-year-old boy living in Denver with his family. When 3 years old, Mark reached for the kettle on the table and upset it, causing his face burnt. After several surgeries, Mark was home-schooled by his mother, but as he approached second grade, his parents decided to enroll him in Beecher Prep, a private school.
His face was uneven and many scars were left on the cheeks. Mark was scared of being made fun of, but his parents encouraged him to face everything bravely.
When he first started school, he was rejected by almost all the students for the sake of his burnt face, which was a tough time for him. Fortunately, a girl named Angel offered to sit with him on his first day of school and helped him go through that difficult period. They became good friends, chatting merrily and sharing what they were enthusiastic about.
Gradually, Mark’s excellent learning competence and kind behavior made him popular with the students. Since Mark had a good command of science, his classmates would turn to him for help whenever they had problems with their studies. Mark was always more than willing to help them.
On Halloween, a variety of holiday activities were held on campus, with each classroom decorated with flowers and toys. All the students including Mark were dressed up in Grimace masks and costumes. They all disguised to be their favorite characters, enjoying themselves. Unrecognized, Mark was walking through the classroom backdoor when he overheard his classmate Joe’s comment, “Mark’s face is the ugliest one I have ever seen.” Hearing this, Mark felt a burst of sadness and depression flooded over him. He run away secretly. Angel happened to stand behind Mark and witnessed what happened, but it was too late to stop it. As Mark’s best friend at school, Angel thought Mark was a good boy who should be treated kindly.
