Already?

I can not believe how much friends can change the course of our days.   My son was really sad last week and I asked him what was wrong.  He took a minute and I could tell he was deciding if he should really tell me what was wrong.  He said, "the kids are mean to me, the call me names." I asked him who these kids were and he named a few kids.  I hate that they are in our neighborhood/ward. :( Then at bed time as he was going to sleep it all came out.  At school his class had a substitute teacher and he was unprepared (which was my fault, I forgot to remind him and walk him through what would happen at school) he was very upset.  When he is upset he cries and so all the boys on the bus called him 'baby face', and 'cry baby' he even said someone called him stupid.  I was so heart broken for him.  As he was telling me he started crying again.  I have never felt so sad.
