One of the children punched me in the stumuk and I was badley hert. School is really horrible beacase the children bully me where ever I am.My teacher is really nice to me he never has gave me the kane. The villige that I'm in got bombed last night about 10 people died luckely the house that I'm in wasn't bombed. I'm glad that dad sent a field card and I'm glad he is all right. My jorny was horrible I was swashed in and I couldn't to the tolet's so I had to wee my self.
