[quote=Anonymous]I am chiming in a bit late, I have something I want to say about the teasing vs bullying. I don't think we do our kids any favors by treating them as fragile beings who can't take some teasing, good grief if you had siblings then you've been subjected to a lifetime of it. If the child has been saying something truly mean - commenting on weight or physical appearance, saying someone has no friends, talking about someone's mother - that is over the line. But seriously, saying "Lucas pookis" is not bullying by any definition. Those of you who define it as bullying really aren't doing your kids any favors by not helping them learn to cope. It's our job to teach our children that life isn't fair, mean people suck, and annoying people should be ignored.

I know that some won't agree, that's ok.  I'm teaching my children to deal and therefore they will be able to stand it without falling apart. I'm just urging others to do the same because it will be helpful to their kids.  [/quote]
