sincerely Clayton one of the great things about the girls build La project is that I was able to get in touch with people who have the same mission that and one of those some people that we met her name is Natalie Hanson Natalie is the founder of an app called sit with us she started the app because of her humbling experience it all started in seventh grade it started with little things that could be easily explained away like people started itching me as a joke and I can never join anyone's lunch table would say mean things in the hallways I started to feel really alone because I felt like I didn't have a friend group I didn't have anyone to go to with anything spring of my 7th grade year I was physically attacked three times in two weeks the teachers weren't stepping up and doing anything the ministration wasn't doing any and so I felt really voiceless in that situation because no one was really listening and reacting to what was happening to me but then in the fall of my reindeer this girl was so angry and she was holding a pair of scissors in her hand and she spun around and pointed this is there's that my throat and said I'm resisting the urge to next road right now and so after that that's when we decided that things really weren't going to get better because this kept happening and that's when we decided to look at we wanted to make sure that did not happen at our school so we decided that we would have all of our students download the sit with us app at the sit with us assembly she told us why she started me up and about a week after she left because she really inspired us we also hosted an event called no one eats alone all the kids were you know welcome to one designated area and we all sat together we ate lunch together we have music that all kinds of activities and it was this year we have quadrupled the size of Our Kind club they're going to this big world and they know that there's going to be problems and we just want to let them know sinus
