You received the following email from your American friend, Calvin:
I thought I had it all: a great (smart) school, playing the drums in a wonderful band, a bundle of friends. Then my Dad started having problems with his work, so we moved to the West Coast before Christmas. It's as if my life just melted away. The new school is WAY below my expectations, and the band’s just a bunch of hopeless beginners. I keep in touch with my old friends, but nothing's the same.
On top of that, the kids in my class tease me because I'm a vegetarian and I'm not good at sports – the only thing that seems to matter to THEM. They're constantly telling me how weird I am, and the girl who I have to sit next to enjoys throwing my pens and notebooks off my desk. Sometimes I get so frustrated that I start screaming at them. Then they ask me why I'm so mad. It's like they purposely upset me for fun. What should I do?
