Hopeless, is now grand . Children can be so hateful , but I feel that emotions is nurtured from their parents those that model. I was a total loner too shy to hang around other children . There was a hint racism in my parents I ignored because I couldn't understand...

Gorgeous! The name HOPE is well, hopeful! I always liked that name and GRACE. We have lots of HEAVENS spelled backwards at our school -which is NEVAEH. What is in a name? Everything! Well done! It is always sad when children make fun of each other's names. So so sad.
