by Sam P. June 20th, 2013| Teen Perspective
So at school they have Germ-X dispensers all over the school and they are always pushing us to use all of them.  And don't take me the wrong way, I am a very hygienic person.  I wash my hand before and after cooking, and using the bathroom, after playing

An ex-friend of my son is going to start going to his school next year (they’ll both be in tenth grade). They went to a private school together a few years ago, but my son began to feel that this boy was undermining his self-confidence.  He now feels that
