[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MS boys can be extremely mean as well. As with adults, male poor behavior is given different labels and excuses.

The MS boys can be particularly vicious online. They frequently ask girls for nudes, use the n word, insult others using foul language, sexist and homophobic and racist slurs. In real life, the MS boys can make fun of non athletic kids, geeks and/or anyone perceived to be other/ weird.

Girls may be more emotionally complex but MS boys can be just as mean.

It is so universal that there must be some evolutionary purpose - survival of the fittest and the thickest skinned.

That said, It shows to me that DEI education is incredibly important. Many younger bullies do not automatically grow out of it but go on to bully in professional settings/ work places. Success on the long term requires good social skills and embracing the many ways we both differ and are alike as youth and adults.[/quote]

Teach your kids not to GAF about what other people think, and they will become adults who do not GAF what other people think.

For all of the DCUM land moms who are ever seeking that "secret to success" - this should be first and foremost.

Life is not middle school, no matter how much some people want it to be, and how stunted those people are.

It's not about being a arsehole, it's about staying in your own lane. [/quote]

That is extremely narrow minded advice. Staying in your own lane will not help reduce bullying. There is tons of research that effective partnerships between home and school produce the best results for students both academically and socially.

And bullying does impact academics in deep ways. [/quote]
