[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I just don't see it. There's so much support and acceptance of "different" kids. [/b]They can find cliques online too if they can't at their school. When my youngest was in pre-K, a pregnant friend asked him if he knew she was pregnant. He nodded and she asked him how he knew? He said he wasn't allowed to say it out loud how he knew (meaning he can't call people fat). Finally we got him to say that her stomach was getting bigger. It was very funny. Over the years I've seen my kids say such kind things and their friends are the same. Kids were really nasty when I was in school. [/quote] Just because you don’t see it, doesn't meant it’s not there. Bullying takes a different form. See a prior PP’s comment about how “quirky” kids are left alone, but other students-maybe those on the periphery-are targeted. Racism, anti-female rhetoric, slut shaming, fat jokes it’s happening all day, every day. [/quote]
