I don't own Full House

Stephanie really enjoyed going to McDonalds with her dad for a burger, fries and a shake after she got her ears pierced.

"I've missed this," she told him.

"Missed what?"

"Our heart to hearts," she said, "We used to have them when DJ and I and Michelle were little. Now you're tougher with us"
Danny sighed.

"Steph," he said, "You guys are bigger now."

"I know," Stephanie said, "I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying it worked a lot better for me. I mean... I've got a lot going on right now with school and not being popular and being bullied."

"You're being bullied," Danny asked surprised.
Stephanie never mentioned it.

"Physically no,"she said, "But emotionally I have been. It's those girls, Kelly, Heather and Amber"

"Do they tease you or what?"

"They call me a loser and say I'll never get any further then being a loser"

"It seems to me," Danny said, "That THEY'RE the losers not you. Anyone who can be so judgmental of a person really is judging themselves"

"They also spread rumors about me," Stephanie added

"What kind of rumors," Danny asked

"Like that I'm a scary cat and that's the only reason I don't get my ears pierced," Stephanie said, "and that I caused the accident that killed mom. Amber's mom was one of the paramedics at the accident"

"Stephanie," Danny said as his daughter's eyes filled with tears, "That is not true"
She was quiet.

"Look," Danny said, "You see when I was in college, I had a great friend. He was very thoughtful, kind, smart, caring and extremely neat, even more neater then I am"

"Is that possible," Stephanie asked

"You wouldn't think so," Danny said, "But believe me he was. Anyway this guy, his name was... is Adrian. He met a woman and fell in love with her. My friend, with all of his good qualities is still not as emotionally strong as I am"
Stephanie nodded slightly trying to follow the story.

"There was a situation where I could either be their for my friend or for myself. I knew he wasn't as strong as me and if he went through a tough time he couldn't handle it. I chose to be there for him because he needed me to be."

"That's understandable," Stephanie said, "But I'm missing the point of the story"

"The point of the story," Danny said, "is that sometimes people deal with hard times and they don't know how to handle it.

"I understand dad," Stephanie said
