Name calling at 11 years old?

Re: Name calling at 11 years old?

i say sticks and stones............i know the kid is a little punk calling names but kids will have to deal with stuff like this later in life. if one does not respond to an insult and acts as if it had no effect, said bully will leave them alone.

i know it is hard not to react as we would kill for our kids if need be. but it's just a word. now if he got physical or continued to harass then for sure talk to the school folk.

i think we live in a society looking for anything to be offended. now what he said was offensive but remember when we were kids? bullys were just part of life and we were much stronger people. maybe this sounds calloused and it is not my kid so it is easy for me to say this. i would wait and see how it pans out and react only if necessary.

I agree with some of this jipped and Fuzo and I leave many things for her to handle. At first when she told me, I talked to her and even asked her if she knew what that meant? Then the next day it hit me, and I thought, I need to discuss this with Fuzo and inform the teacher. That is as far as it will most likely go to. I, again, told my daughter to NEVER allow such disrespect by words, or physically, from a boy/man ever. I also informed her that it isn't acceptable to do that to boys either. I know the kid is troubled, but if I just make excuses for others than so will she and we want her to respect herself starting at this young age. The teacher was informed, he forwarded it to the principle, and we talked to our daughter. I feel we have done what we should with this matter, and now it is in their hands. If that was my boy, he would remember not to says things like that again to a girl.

you are right baby. a boy saying that to a girl is different than 2 boys, it is a right of passage with boys to bust on each other but it is a weak person who picks on girls because they cannot hang with the rough boys. could be a prob later down the road. nip it in the bud.
