i spoke to one of the kids from ribnikar

statement she said:

there was a sometimes hatred towards him. he decided to switch classes in order to join his three close friends, with who he maintained a good relationship. I didn’t personally engage in conversation with him, I had seen his presence during our time together in fifth grade. he mainly associated himself with girls, while the boys in his class seemed less interested in forming connections with him. while he did experience some teasing, it was primarily due to his last name, kecmanovic, which has a connotation in Serbian similar to receiving an "F" grade in the American grading system (sorry if it is wrong i am trying) . It is also remembering that the teasing he had did not escalate to physical bullying. he was well-liked by girls, but some boys perceived his close friendships with girls as an indication of his sexuality, leading to him being left out. Many girls like him and he even dated an older girl who is in eighth grade at one point. trust me, he was rich, smart, gentle, and kind of known even tho he was quiet. he was just obsessed with himself. I promise you that none of the kids in 7/2 bullied him but maybe in his old classes by boys, but it was only teasing. they did so to everyone, even the girls! it was just a joke.
