Answer:
Many people like Julian made fun of Auggie's (August) appearance. Julian and his friends, Henry and Miles, leave mean notes in his locker, and people play a game called The Plague. In this game, if you touch Auggie, you'll have to wash your hands in under 15 seconds. Auggie had only 2 friends in middle school -Summer and Jack Will- but later in the book, he is friends with almost the whole school. These are some hardships August went through.
