She would get bullied in every single class since then she was not the same Jackie I had meet back in elementary she had changed a lot . She did not want to go to school in fear of the bullying done to her or even bound with any classmate when it came to class room activities . Jackie had also changed in her behavior and personality it was like she was a whole different person . She would often have stomached and headaches and frequent visits to the school nurse office . Jackie even stopped eating the way she would and at times not eat at all .
