New kid in school has
a round clay-colored
face. Mousy strands
of hair emerge
from his scalp. He knows
his chances here. Not good.
With headache pulsing, he stalls
long as he can, fiddling
with chain on his bicycle.
As the story goes, he plows
into a puddle right in front
of the schoolyard. Covered
in mud splashes, he waits
as several kids come to
his aid. Was he hurt? Would he
like to clean up? New kid finds
he will have no need
to vent at home. Sometimes
a day hinges on kindness
shown by others.

Students may face many types of fear factors in school like new places, strangers, teachers, homework or exams. Fear factors also protect them from dangers. Thanks for the writing
