[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay, so my 12 year old son is in 7th grade at a certain charter school and has recently started to get teased over his weight. I would not say he is overweight, but he certainly isn't skinny either, [b]he has always been a big kid [/b](as his father is before him). He is around 5'5 and 140 lbs, just as a reference. It has gotten to the point where he asked if he could transfer out next year and go to Deal (our in-boundary school).

I was just wondering whether there is a culture of bullying in the public school system, middle schools in particular. He is a friendly, nice kid, and has never had any trouble with this before, it is kind of stressful right now for me.[/quote]

Ugh  - you are the parent that all the articles talk about. You know the ones who can't acknowledge their kid is fat. Yes, your kid is fat. He has the same height as me and I weigh the same and I am fat and I am older.  Stop making excuses for his weight. Get help to live a healthier lifestyle. Switching schools is not going to the solution.[/quote]
