GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (RNS) Middle school is no picnic for a lot of
students, but for Alec McGuire, it was intolerable.
He transferred from one Catholic school to another in eighth grade
to get away from another student whom he said harassed and ridiculed
him. Whether making fun of his parents' divorce or throwing a basketball
at him, the student and his friends made Alec's daily life miserable.
"I could not take it," said McGuire, now 18, who recently graduated
from West Catholic High School in Grand Rapids, Mich.
