		Join in this discussion on our Message Boards about a girl being ostracized: "My daughter is in grade three and for the past three months has been having difficulty with her friends. They tell her to meet them at a certain spot on the playground and then they never show up, or they will agree to play with her and then choose a game that she can't play because of her asthma...They have taken things that she says and turned them around so that when they go to the teacher my daughter is in the wrong and gets into trouble...." — CM
