So in April of 2018 Ryan decided to tell us about an incident that happened back in the fall of third grade. Mind you it’s almost 18 months later. But it was an incident that has clearly affected him and continues to affect him with his schoolmates. Apparently the gist of the story is that he killed a worm in third grade by stepping on it. The girls did not like that very much. They even named the worm David. For the rest of third grade and now into fourth grade A lot of those girls still call him names and give him a hard time because of what he did. They call him worm killer and stupid worm. He said this has been affecting him for a very long time but he didn’t want to say anything and just wanted to deal with it on his own. Last night during dinners  ania finally asked enough questions that got it out of him.  He’s been really bothered by the fact that the girls keep making fun of him for something that happened so long ago and that he apologized for. He decided he wanted me to contact his  teacher and also  the  guidance counselor lady so he could talk about it with them.  I hope  he figures out his way through this and realizes  that girls are always going to create drama in his life.  But I also hope he realizes that his mom and dad are always here to listen to him and support him whenever he needs it.  I love you Ryan  hang tough buddy
