EXTRACT: When I was at school, there was this girl called Paula Beams and she was really mean to me. And one time, she got all her friends to pick on me and be mean to me and they even used to steal and hide my bag. And I was so scared that I didn't know what to do. And one day I went home and grandpa asked me what was wrong, but I wouldn't tell. And you know what he said?
