[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 6th grader DS had been refusing to go to school. We just found out that he’s been bullied, ignored at school. He even had a thought of suicidal 
 :cry:  I’m heart broken. We will be addressing to the school office tomorrow.[/quote]

I'm so very sorry, PP. Sixth-graders can be some of the worst people on the planet. I hope the school listens and that things turn around. Kids can recover and I hope yours does. [/quote]

OP here. Why are some 6th graders so mean? Do they have terrible home lives? I just don’t understand. It’s one thing to have a bad day or be accidentally blunt/mean without intent but some of these kids seem to just be permanently mean. [/quote]

The good and bad about sixth grade is that nothing is permanent.

They are trying to find their tribes and many feel that they have to put someone down to fit in better. Or a social group can get stronger by forming a common enemy or finding a weakling.[/quote]

It’s pretty disturbing and shows weak character and poor parenting if your kid is still that mean at age 12. Do better.[/quote]

Are you talking to me, the poster you're responding to?[/quote]

Mean kids in general and their parents. [/quote]
