But Jessica wanted me to talk to you because she thought you didn't like her and were afraid of her. She wants you to know that she likes to follow the rules, but sometimes she can't because of her illness. Most students admit they feel afraid of Jessica's behavior, but one boy says he feels sorry for her. You don't need to feel sorry for her. When I'm done explaining what's happening with Jessica, you'll realize what a strong, smart girl she is.
Hands shoot up.
My mom's a nurse and she works with people who have manic-depression. My brother has autism. Special teachers help him at school. That's right, you've got the idea. So, you'd be feeling kind of 'manic,' happy.
