Once upon a time, there was a boy named Ryan. Ryan had a disease called Dyslexia, he wasn't able to see words and numbers the way all the other kids did.

One day in Science class the teacher has chosen for all the students to have a group project. She thought it was a great idea to allow the kids to chose their own groups to improve interactions with others.

When everyone chose their group, Ryan was left out.

When the teacher realized he was left out she chose to put him in a group of boys, not knowing those group of boys were his main bullies.

Ryan was so upset, but he sucked it up and walked over to the table.

As the teacher explained the project, the boys were whispering and making fun of him.

He's such a loser

Ryan felt hurt and disrespected by them.

HAHA!!

LOSER

Meanwhile, on the other side of the classroom this boy named Max was watching them bully Ryan. Max didn't know what to do so he just sat there and said nothing.

I feel horrible

The teacher didn't notice, but the bullies started throwing pencils, erasers, and paper airplanes at Ryan. He was so mad he started crying.

The anger built inside of him to the point he screamed,"SHUT UP!!" The room became silent....

SHUT UP!!!!!!

Ryan was so sick of getting bullied he reacted in the wrong way. He didn't understand how to handle the situation.

Max was scared for Ryan because he knew he was a nice guy, but Max was more scared of the bullies.

What should I do?...

Ryan felt embarrassed so he ran out the classroom.

Max chased him and found him sitting on the stairs. He sat right next to him and just held him tightly.
