We were flying to a meeting. I was in the middle    36 .I found that the young woman sitting next to me was very   37  and deep in thought. Then I asked her where she was from, where she was going and   38  she did.
She was a student and had been attending   39 in Poland-----the homeland of her father. Then she told me sadly that her father had    40    . She had chosen to attend college in Poland   41 her father’s wishes and their relationship had been  42  .They hadn’t forgiven each other  43  he died.
She seemed so sad. I looked at her, trying to  44  some words to say. I asked her if she had forgiven  45  for not realizing her father’s dream. She answered that she couldn’t forgive herself  and felt so  46 .Slowly, I began to tell her about forgiveness. I encouraged her to  47  that because I believed her father wanted that too. She should forgive herself  48  how awful she thought she had been.
I told her about  49  I had done as a teenager for which I had felt guilty for many years. How I was  50  with the choice of forgiving myself or to  51  feeling guilty for the rest of my life. I had  52  to forgive myself . The light in her eyes went on. She began to understand that she was  53   forgiven and could forgive herself. She could be  54  and happy.
How about you? Is there anything in your  55  for which you feel guilty?

When a child is told he is "uncool", it can be very painful. He may say he doesn't care, and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose. But ultimately, these are simply ways to handle sadness by pretending it's not there.
Helping a child feel better in school had to be careful. If you say, "Why are you worried about what other children think about you? It doesn't matter!"  Children know that it does matter. Instead, an active way may be best. You could say, "I'm going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school."
If a boy is having trouble making friends, the teacher can help him. The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects. This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him. A teacher can also raise a child's popularity in the group by showing that he values that child. It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child, or let him be a partner with that child in activities, etc.
There are things that parents can do at home, too. Be friendly when your child brings others home to play. Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider "super". When you plan trips, picnics, movies, and other shows, invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends.
What you can do is to give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him out. Then, if he has good qualities, he can start to build real friendship of his own.
