When I read this article I felt that this should not be occurring in a young child's life, I know a lot of kids that are pushed out in to the open for people to laugh at. I know the feeling when people make fun of you, and you don't want to tell anyone about it, and you are scared to say anything back to them. I think that it must be so horrible when Rachel has people asking her question about her religion and other things about her daily life. But I also think that it must feel so good for Rachel to be able to think she would never rather go to school and be with her friends anywhere but where she lives and goes to school now.
