After a 17-year-old fellow student took his own life, Kirk Zajac was devastated. Not because he and the other teen were friends; but because they so clearly were not.
Kirk didn't even know the name of the quiet boy whom he and others tormented regularly on the crowded bus to Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin School. They called him "Polar Bear" because of his size and refused to make room for him in a seat. They made fun of him behind his back and to his face.
Last September, when the principal somberly announced that Andy Lehman had died in a car crash, it took awhile for Kirk to even figure out who Andy was. Then he discovered that the crash was no accident.
