All we can do is give our kids the confidence that they need and praise them every day. Im sorry you had to go through this.

The last thing I say to the kids in the morning as I am shuffling them out the door is: always be kind to everyone, even those that aren't kind to you! They can recite it back to me at this point.

He said he didn't want his 'friends' to get in trouble!! When asked if the bus driver knew...and he shrugs his shoulders as if it doesn't matter. Jason and I do not condone fighting, but have told Balin if he gets punched FIRST that he can fight back and we won't be angry (even if he gets in trouble with the teacher/school/bus driver). I can't let my child be a punching bag, and if other kids know that Balin will not sit and take it like you described Payton doing...that they will leave him alone. (Which this actually worked in one instance. Both kids had bloody noses, but Balin was so proud that he stood up for himself! They both got in trouble, but the other kid doesn't bother him anymore) I'm praying right there with you, girl! In turn, we have been teaching Balin to be kind to others, not judge, and to take up for others that are being bullied. To always remember what he feels like when others pick on him...and does he want other kids to feel that way too? Kids can be so mean, and they always can find SOMETHING to pick on others about. I was short, wore thick glasses and had a boy's name (in my generation, anyway)...it wasn't easy.pharmgurhlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11487209488646523248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031377947303133630.post-83142908482351731242014-01-13T10:26:38.328-08:002014-01-13T10:26:38.328-08:00Grrr...

I am not looking forward to the school years because of this, but hoping we can teach the boys to be loving to everyone, despite appearances. As a side note, I saw in Alabaster's letter this past month that there's supposed to be an app that all kids can use called Anonymous Alerts to report any kind of bullying. Here's to hoping that will help!becca @ sew lovedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11210854808072782718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031377947303133630.post-50054504646273721962014-01-13T08:54:13.557-08:002014-01-13T08:54:13.557-08:00Okay, I'm crying....at work.....it's so tr...Okay, I'm crying....at work.....it's so true!!! Sarah has been bullied and has had counseling because. I don't know how those kids were disciplined, but I'm sure the school did what they needed to do because my 8 year old should NEVER say she wants to kill herself because of some crappy kid. I've told Maggie over and over again if she sees someone getting bullied at school to please tell a teacher and if no one will listen to her to tell me and I will handle it, because they will listen to me. One of her guy friends has been bullied on numerous occasions and even had to deal with cyber bullying and don't think I didn't step in on Instagram and gave a kid a piece of my mind. Oh my gosh, I could go on and on, but thanks for posting this. Kids are jerks, but not ours! :-) Love you Sista!!! Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582358609047567746noreply@blogger.com
