His mother then asked him what he went through that day and he replied,

"They make fun of my nose. They call me ugly. They say I have no friends. Poured milk on me and put ham down my clothes. Threw bread at me. I don't like that they do it to me and I for sure don't like that they do it to other people because it's not okay.

People that are different, don't need to be criticized about it. It's not their fault. If you are made fun of just don't let it bother you. Stay strong I guess. It's hard."
