Dear Tourette Association of America, Thank you so much for sending us so much stuff for this program at my school. We could not have done this program without you. We are very grateful. The program is the first annual Ability Day at my school. What they do is they get people to set up a booth. Then other people will come over to learn about the ability that they are talking about.

We are on the side where we talk and have a demonstration.

The same can be said of the individuals who are the targets of bullying - they are not always the smallest, weakest, ‘unpopular’ children. There are many forms of bullying and it happens largely due to a lack of understanding or knowledge about something that may appear different. The truth is it can happen to anyone, by anyone regardless of the age or setting.
