"If I don't do as well in our school or get the same marks that you get. It could just mean that I'm great in other things or just haven't found my talent as yet.""It's not fair to decide that you know someone because of what people on your screen may say. So you must ask yourself this big question: If someone does something very wrong, does that mean everyone who looks like them is also that way?"Important, relevant book for all children and adults.
