Steven is 13 years old. He is a kind, caring and sensitive young man. He has spent the last 8 years of his public education being harrassed and tormented to the point of break down. Most of the children that he goes to school with have little to no respect for anyone or anything. Their favorite past time is humiliating other students. They actually rate each other on how cruel they can be (the meaner and nastier they are, the more excepted they are)! Steven is unwilling and unable to lower himself to this behavior and has become an outcast. We have tried everything to help him deal with this or to try to change things within the school systems. All our efforts have failed and he is becoming increasingly despressed in the envirnment. He has requested that we send him to a military school and feeling there are no other options, we have agreed. Unfortunately, the schools are extremely expensive (averaging $20,000 per year). I will do whatever it takes to ensure my son has a happy and healthy life. I know there are many kind people in the world who understand this situation. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Please make donations at www.paypal.com - user id: needschoolhelp@yahoo.com. We need more people like Steven in this world. I will be adding images soon as well as survey questions on peer to peer pressure. I would also like to hear from others who experience this. There has to be a way to stop this abuse for all children! I will be sure to put in updates of his progress. Thank you for caring!
