Steve another policeman that was best friends with my dad would drop me off at school and my mom would pick me up. That was great except who was there to protect me in school. I was still being bullied on a regular bases and my mom was in school all the time fighting for me. We even pressed charges on some of the kids so they would take bullying seriously. So we thought! One day Mr. Stevenson was out due to the passing of his mother. Chris one of the kids in my class who was there .Chris was always in fights, except this day he was in a particularly bad mood.

Mom gave him his own room and was taking us to and from school every day. First James since he was at North Cobb, and then me to Harrison. When I got to Harrison my first day I was a little disappointed. I was unable to have JROTC since my files were sent over to late, so they gave me Gym instead. I was in a pretty good routine now and making new friends. I thought great a new school and new kids. What could go wrong? Well this school changed my whole look on public schools.

That’s when mom decided to press charges and went to the school board concerning Harrison High Schools reaction to Bulling. Bullying is a crime, it is illegal and we had had enough. My mom and I talked and she said under no circumstances am I to return to that school or to any public school. That is when we made the decision to start online high school. As for the school, my mom got them to pay all medical bills and as far as the 2 kids we are still going to
