Sticks And Stones May Break My Bones, But Words Can Sometimes Hurt Me

I just learned today that something I said in 6th grade about a girl (something not so nice) is still bothering her. I had no idea until seeing it on Twitter today! I apologized then, and I have apologized to her again today, hopefully this will bring some closure. That's why I am so excited about this new movement Bash Out Bullying! Nobody deserves to be bullied! 

Stay strong and stay positive,

A clique  a small group of people, with shared interests or other features in common, who spend time together and do not readily allow others to join them.  Cliques are commonly found in high school, but they are also prevalent in middle school and even elementary school! I have experienced exclusion from several different cliques first hand. Sometimes exclusion is unintentional and people are simply afraid to branch out.
