[nabs-l] asking for advice on problem at school

[Gloria G]

Hi,
I would go to your principle because you said something to him about the 
napkin and he didn't stop. I think it is just a sick person getting a laugh 
on the pain of someone else. You shouldn't allow things like that to 
continue because next time it could be something that could endanger your 
safety. Just a thought!
