Teen Angst (Team Helen)

Helen got in two fights today. It made me so sad to see her so angry and then upset. When I turned around, I saw Bill push her and she pushed him back even harder and then he started to go after her and she ran, so I moved toward them to break it up (stupid first year teacher), and then Helen swung around kicked poor Bill in the shin really hard. So then I tried to hold Bill back but he was so angry (who wouldn't be?), and James stepped in and held Bill back. It was wild. I managed to talk Bill down before sending him for a walk-and he looked like he was going to cry. I kept Helen in the room but moved her to the front near me, and she was crying too. Last time Helen cried I could hardly keep my own tears back-it was so sad. She is such a fighter with a big head (literally and figuratively). She looks like a pokeman and I just love her the most.
