Bashing other kids isn't cool, and Grace knows it. So she confides in her older cousin Katie. They come up with a short-term solution, but Grace doesn't feel 100% better. Maybe now, Grace can find the courage to stand up to her "friends."

• Think about a time when you went to a classmate to solve a problem. Was the problem fixed? Do you think the problem could have been better solved if you went to an adult?
• What Next?
  Grace found a way to stop the Internet bashing from her computer, for a little while, but it may not be enough. It can be helpful to talk to someone else who can help you organize your thoughts and concerns. However, bullying is serious, so Grace could take the issue up with an adult who has the authority to appropriately address the problem and stop the bullying altogether. Her dad or school advisor can help her take the steps needed to stop the negative behavior and discipline the offenders.
