SamSara (and) the Bully I can’t understand why my parents sent me to this stupid school. It was fine when I was a little kid, but now that we’re in sixth grade and are the older kids in the school, it’s the worst. The only thing the other girls care about is their looks and boys. Forgive me, I don’t want to just stand around at recess watching boys play football and then cheer for them like some airheaded idiot.

It was worse ...

Life is Suffering My brother had always been a screw-up and to be honest, I had been waiting for that call for years. My first thought when I heard the news wasn’t about my brother at all, but about Sophia.Maybe she would feel bad enough for me that she’d be willing to travel back home with me. But when I called and asked her, she gave me a firm “no.”She’d only met my brother a couple of times and did not like him. Plus, if she went, she would miss our son Sid’s school play. I tried to argue that he didn’t even have any lines, but she wa...
