[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do they go to the same school? School counselors can be very helpful in managing situations like this.[/quote]

Yes, same school. I hate to involve the school counselor in something that isn't bullying. Plus, I mentioned it to my son and he was mortified. He does not want to have to talk it out. He just wants to be left alone.[/quote]

You wouldn't be complaining about bullying, and your son would not be expected to 'talk it out' with the other kid. Counselors know things about other kids you don't, and while they won't tell you confidential information they can offer strategies to manage the situation sensitively, and once she knows, she can also bring it up with the other kid (or the kids parents) and give that kid strategies to not annoy other kids by text. In fact, you could talk to the counselor yourself. Your son doesn't need to.[/quote]

I appreciate this. My concern was having to "talk it out" which just seems cringe-worthy for anyone to have to do in this situation. I do plan to contact the counselor and won't mention to my son.[/quote]
