I think the best we can do - you can do - is stay involved and find out as much as possible about the situation and just keep talking to your children about it. You have to figure these things out together, I think. Sounds corny, but what else are we going to do, right?<br />I have a 2nd grade girl and I also cannot stand mean girls. Who are their parents? I don't get it.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04640617377570814909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3391148493629545748.post-29747597426176853422012-05-29T15:39:45.894-10:002012-05-29T15:39:45.894-10:00Oof.

My brother is 6 years younger than me and I still remember the day that he was in 6th grade and some 8th graders made fun of him on the bus. I wanted to pound those kids into sand. <br /><br />I can't stand bullies, mean girls, the whole shitshow. You're right that it bubbles large right around middle school, but I still see them every day in adult life - at work, at parties, on blogs. I think the best way to get through it is to learn to really just LIKE who you are and realize you have a bunch of friends and family who like you too. Maybe that's some inspiration for helping your son through the next few years? Helping him to like himself and feel confident, no matter what donkeyhole he encounters?<br /><br />xo JJenhttp://www.jenepting.comnoreply@blogger.com
