[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Past elementary school, absolutely.

I'm a MS teacher and [b] I wish more parents would MAKE their kids conform and be like the masses.[/b]  There's plenty of time to be an individual after age 18.  Until then, those are the most important formative years and it hurts me so much to see or hear about a kid being teased for being different.  Of course, teaching tolerance is also very important.  If I have to contact a parent about their child being a bully more than once, I seriously look down on that person as a parent.  Once, eh, kids can have bad days and be little sh!ts.  But twice or three times?  Nope, that's on you, mom & dad - you're raising terrible offspring.

Examples I'm talking about when I say conforming: 6th grade boys NOT walking the halls with cartoon/superhero character lunchboxes or backpacks.  Sixth grade girls not wearing unicorns or other clothes that look like they came from Justice.  Not dressing your son like a mini accountant or your daughter like the female offspring of a political family.      [/quote]

OR, parents could teach their kids not to be jerks to other kids. Then maybe they'd all grow up to be nicer and better-adjusted adults, and the world would be a better place altogether.[/quote]
