Teasing at Lunchtime

Question:

A boy in my class likes to wave his sandwich in front of my face at lunch. What should I tell him to make him stop?

Answer:

First, I would ask him to please stop waving his sandwich in your face. If that doesn’t work, try to help him understand celiac disease by explaining to him that you can have a sandwich, too, it’s just has different bread than his. You can tell him that even if he waves that sandwich in your face that it won’t make you want it because you know how sick you will feel later. If he still will not stop and it is really upsetting you, talk to your mom or dad or a teacher and ask them for help.
