Levi Styles knew he was different and that did kill him on the inside. Levi was severely bullied because he could not read as well as the other kids in his class at age ten. He came home with tears coming down and falling onto his cheeks. His mother saw and squatted down to ask her son what was wrong. 

"I can't read. All of the letters get jumbled up and I don't know what to do" Levi sobbed to his mother while crying his eyes out. Levi and Cora just kept hugging until Chris came down the stairs to see his little brother sobbing. Chris hugged his brother tight. 

Cora walked into the kitchen to see Harry eating a banana. "We have to do something about this" 

"About what" Harry asked his wife and Cora shook her head. 

"Our son is miserable because he can't read as well as the other kids. Harry maybe we should take him to see someone" Cora suggested and Harry shook his head no. 

"He's fine" Harry stated while throwing away the banana. Levi walked into the room and Cora handed a box of cereal. 

"Hun, can you tell me what the box says" Cora asked Levi and Levi tried to say the cereal name but he got frustrated and threw the box down on the floor. 

"Harry" Cora mouthed and Harry finally agreed with his wife. Something was wrong with Levi and they needed to figure out what and fast. 

The next day, the Styles were at the doctors bright and early. The doctor called the family into the room where Levi was. He was sitting with his head down. 

"Dr. Windsor, what is going on" Harry asked the doctor while holding Cora's hand. 

"I think your son has a learning disability called dyslexia. It is very common disability but it can be improved upon on. Dyslexia is the jumbling of letters for one or another" Dr. Windsor explained to the Styles.  

"So, what exactly are we supposed to do" Cora asked Dr. Windsor and Dr. Windsor handed a pamphlet to the Styles. The Styles were now on their way home with just the radio playing. 

"I'm weird and no one likes me. I have this stupid thing" Levi complained while tears were building up in his eyes. 

"No, you're not weird and being normal is overrated" Christian comforted his little brother. Before you knew it, the Styles had a routine of reading books and getting Levi's audiobooks and even the teachers let him record them so he could learn much better. 

Levi Styles learned how to managed his dyslexia in four months and he was even exceeding in school and by the time he got to middle school, Levi Styles was still struggling but he found his strengths and his weaknesses through this.
