I hate Middle Schoolers

...not my own, just the ones who make my son feel bad about himself.

Seems they've been making fun of his anatomy. I would love to yank a knot in their necks, as my mom used to say -- back when she was teaching school.

My husband is SO much better with this son than I am. Oldest DS and I are way too much alike and that gets in the way sometimes. He doesn't like to be touched when he's angry; neither do I. He shoves the emotions down inside until it hurts and then he lets it out; hmm...so do I.

He does NOT want me to tell anyone at school becuase he doesn't want to be called out of class. He doesn't want the bullies to be called in. But I don't want to sit by and watch these little @#$%s get away with hurting my son.

help.

I have one still bothered by the bullying he had in elementary school. The school wasn't willing to help. They did nothing to the bullies, but did make my son watch a movie on being more aggressive.

I'm sorry. Please try to remind your child that school is just a stepping stone, and does not define him as a person.

I have done so. I also contacted the school and asked that the teachers in the two classes where this is happening be put on alert.

We'll see if they get caught.
