A boy in the year got given a nickname after something embarrassing happened to him once. It was funny for about a day. But the nickname stuck, and now, months later, half the school calls him it without even remembering why. To them it's just his name now. To him, it's a daily reminder of the worst moment, attached to him everywhere he goes. He's asked people to stop. They say, "It's just a nickname, don't be so sensitive." Some of the people using it actually like him and don't mean any harm — they've just stopped hearing it as anything but a word.
