This about a kid who is always bullied by this person who he thinks is a boy. Then one day he tries to run away from the bully and he saw where she lived and her crying. In the end the two became friends. I would use this in a classroom to show how if there is a bully there could be something else wrong with them at their house. I would use this to help them understand why people do what they do.
