[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our local community park where DD (14) goes often by herself to play basketball with her sister, [b]there was some altercation with a group of boys who ended up calling her that name. [/b]Nothing else happened but DD was visibility upset. I wasn’t nearby it happened, and we couldn’t quite tell which group of boys it was afterwards, but DH did t want me to go yell at them for calling DD names as he is worried that would escalate a bullying situation — he feels DD is has stand up to them and that involving the parents with teens for name calling would make it worse. The boys parents were not there.

To be clear, he doesn’t think it’s a moral exercise where DD has to be strong enough, it’s more he believes us swooping in and yelling means next time they interact with this crowd at the park it would be worse and we wouldn’t likely be there.

I wanted to ream into them and DD just wanted to leave. So?[/quote]

You need to give more information about the altercation.  Did your daughter start the altercation by refusing to share the basketball court?  The boys shouldn't be calling names but the name calling does indicate a certain level of frustration being released in an immature way.  If your daughter refused to share the basketball court then you need to reprimand her, not the boys.  It is a public court meant to be shared by all.[/quote]
