Campamifiz Dear Capamifiz, I am getting in trouble at school all the time. I have dyslexia and ADD and I just can’t seem to follow the rules. It’s not always my fault thought. I’m seeing monsters around every corner, monsters that I thought were only myths. My mom’s tried putting me in different private schools, but I keep getting kicked out. On top of all this, my dad is MIA. My mom says he’s a great guy, but I wouldn’t know it. Please help me figure out a way to just be a normal kid who doesn’t get in trouble. Yours Truly, Trouble Teen
But they were not coming… Time for staff development
