  George was 10 years old and in 5th grade , he had adequate grades and is good in sports , but never reveals his skill.  

George was in class while the teacher was out.  The bullies , Mike , Jason , and Aaron were thinking of something to mock George.  The boys were all 10.  Jason wrote on a Post-it and it said : George is a retard... pass it on.   The Post-it got passed on to a classmate and he snickered and also passed it on to the next kid.  "This is stupid." a kid said quietly and rolled his eyes.  He crumbled it up and tossed it in the trash.  George knew that they were passing notes about him , and was very enraged.  Mike and Aaron were laughing and trying to hold it in. "hahahahahhahahaha," their muffled voices screeched.

A creak signalled that their teacher was coming, and everyone jumped on their seats and what ever was wrong has been fixed or stopped. And, oh yes. George could not resist but took the note from the trash and unfolded it , and then the teacher came right in.  "George , give me that note." The teacher scanned the note : George is a retard... pass it on. The teacher made a face, "Who wrote this!?!?!?" she yelled. Silence. "I KNOW SOMEONE WROTE IT."  Everyone remained silent. Not one person felt guilty. The teacher sighed a bad one and sat down on her chair. The teacher dropped the note in the trash.  George remained mute and silent , and he felt tears coming down but held it in , making it inperceptible to notice.
