You might think that a young kid who tackles a knife-wielding bully would be hailed as a hero, but you'd be wrong. In Calgary, a 13-year-old was officially reprimanded for defending a classmate who was being threatened by a thug with a weapon.

Homework was never easy for Chelesa Fearce -- mostly because she didn't have a home to do it in.
