Dear Alexander,

(Q) I am 10 years old and allergic to peanuts. Somebody put peanut butter in my desk at school. What should I do about making sure my classmates understand my allergy instead of being mean about it?

 

(A) Sometimes kids can be mean when they do not understand something. Talk to your parents and your teacher so they can help you to come up with a plan to talk to your classmates about how serious a food allergy is. The kids will learn that food allergy can make someone very sick if they play tricks like putting peanut butter on your desk or on your personal items. The more they learn about food allergy, the more likely they will be willing to help you stay safe at school.

If anyone is ever threatening or bullying you, tell your parents, teacher, or an adult you trust.

 

Good luck!

Your friend,

 

Alexander the Elephant
