Dawn is in the 7th grade now.
The bullying has died down, but it makes finding and keeping new friends difficult for Dawn. She has a hard time trusting anyone who tries to get close to her.
She started going to therapy in the 3rd grade and it helped. But it never took away the pain and suffering that she went through.
Dawn has a beautiful soul and she knows that. She tries her hardest everyday to find the joy within life.
It's harder than it looks.
