[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have friends who have a son that is a complete bully with a dismissive and machista attitude. Whenever we are invited to their place or vice versa he (he’s 14), calls our daughter ugly, irrelevant, talks about how abortion and rape are funny, bad mouths…etc…..and it doesn’t stop. We approached his father about it, but nothing has changed. So what’s the best way for our daughter to deal with this mean boy without losing her self esteem over it?[/quote]

I would not be going over there much, if at all, and certainly not with our DD.

We had a couple boys on her bus who said sh-- like that, so we couldn't escape it. We told her to ignore and that there would always be d-bag boys (and girls for sure, but def boys do this stuff, ime) who say stuff like that. They are trying to get a rise out of you and make you feel bad about yourself. I don't know if they were threatened, needed attention, were "getting back at her" for something . . . to this day she doesn't know. The one would create IG profiles and then message her and harass her.

We talked to her about not finding her worth from what others say (esp people like this). We did this a LOT. I even gave examples of things that happened to me. She went on the bus equipped with a few comebacks but basically ignored and acted like she didn't care. She blocked all attempts as SM. The behavior got less and less and finally went away. A few years after, one of those boys had the nerve to ask "why she hated him?" LOL. She handled it well and graciously but basically said she didn't, but reminded him of some of the things he said, and ignored him from there.[/quote]
