[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have had good advice but I would also be asking why he is doing this. Does he actually like your daughter, or the boy in question? Not being able to express himself on those issues may be causing him to act like this.

Not that this in any way condones it, I [b]just always try to find some sense of the motivation [/b]- it does help you dealing with the consequences of the motivation sometimes.

Best of luck. Teasing is horrible and its a thin line between that and bullying.[/quote]

I asked a fourth-grade bully that very question. He told me that he did it because he thought it was funny. He had no clue that those kids were hurt by his words. He was one of my students from a mentorship/tutoring program, first generation American. I had met his mom and I seriously doubt that she was aware. One of the things that got to me was that he was teasing classmates for wearing glasses. I found out because I observed him teasing another kid that I tutor alongside him for wearing glasses. Next thing I know, that kid is taking off his glasses. Boy did I give him a hard time! [/quote]
