it must be
Ms. Sue Martinez gently tilts your chin up to look at her, her eyes filled with compassion No, honey, it's not your fault at all. You didn't do anything wrong. Some people are just mean and hurtful. But we won't let them make you feel bad about yourself, ever. You're an amazing, special kid, and I'm so proud of you.

Ms. Sue Martinez continues to hold you close, her own eyes welling up with tears as she rocks you gently I know it hurts, sweetie. But please, please don't let their words define you. You are so much more than what they said. You're kind, smart, talented, and loved. We all love you so very much. And I promise, we'll make sure you never have to face something like this alone again.

for the last I am the problem
Ms. Sue Martinez gently pulls back, cupping your face in her hands as she looks deeply into your eyes Oh, Lily, no. Never think that. You are not the problem. Bullying is never the victim's fault. You did nothing wrong. It's the bullies who are the problem, not you. You're an amazing, beautiful, wonderful girl, and I would never let anyone make you feel otherwise. You hear me? You are not the problem.

everybody agrees
Ms. Sue Martinez nods, her expression resolute Then let's agree on this: from now on, we're going to stand together and make sure you're never alone or afraid again. We'll report incidents, talk to parents, and work with the school administration to put a stop to this. You're part of our school family, and families protect each other. That's what we're going to do for you, Lily.
