Uncommon Women and Others

Think I mentioned I went to a support group training type thing the other day. Anyway, I was talking to someone I know a little bit, and she was describing what she's done for her son: basically set up a peer mentoring program for him herself b/c the school district wasn't doing it. He was getting picked on in school (he's middle school age), and after stewing over it and asking for help, etc., she finally just went and called the parents of the kids in the class and talked them into asking their kids to help him. She said they've been really supportive, and she's spoken to them about his quirks and why he does what he does and how they can help him. And this was no big deal to her: this was what he needed, so she did it.
