Gwendolyn Quarles has a brain disorder that appeared soon after another child lobbed a football at her face in October of last year. After complaining of a floating feeling, the 11-year-old was sent to the nurse. Her parents took her to the emergency room near her home in Austin, Texas, where she was diagnosed with intracranial hypertension, a rare disorder where pressure inside the skull chokes off the optic nerve from the brain. This situation makes me wonder if any slaves had this injury and this usually happens with a serve head injury. And if so what did the slaveowners do to them.

This is so sad. I don't understand how kids can be so cruel to one another. Bullying is a serious issue.
