There is a 4th grader (our son is in third grade) that keeps calling our kid “fatass”.
We tell him that there are people that sometimes, when they don’t feel good inside, say things to try to hurt people.
What else can we tell him to help him deal with mean comments?
Should we say something to the school?
My 12yo seems to be bullied by his "friends". How can I help him stand up for himself?
My 12yo had a basketball championship yesterday. The team won 1st place. It was exciting for all. Afterwards my son sent a picture of the trophy to his boys chat. Instead of getting a congrats or nice job, the boys on the chat typed negative things (ie. How does it feel to be carried, you suck… etc.) He is the youngest on the team. Others are 13, 14, and 15. My son continues to say those are his friends. My perspective is if they continue the negative talk then they really are not his friends. How to handle this situation when it seems like he can’t handle it?
