[quote=Anonymous]Whoa. Disagreee hard with the advice and judgement coming out here.
Your child’s reaction is completely within the bounds of a normal reaction for a 7th grader. And/but this is gonna be a hard year and a learning year. I really would engage in a conversation to find out the  context, and ask/encourage him to kind of observe other kids behavior at school and elsewhere, and converse with him about it.
You do NOT teach your child that it’s ok to be a doormat and encourage him to say nothing. Maybe you work on an array of responses he could use in the future.
7th grade and beginning of 8th were rough for my sensitive kiddo but he came out the other side understanding social nuances of boy culture and being more resilient. It’s a process! You don’t berate him and invalidate his hurt feelings… you help him observe and map his way thru the world. He’ll be OK. Time helps, maturity helps, and my kid who is now a well adjusted 10th grader with a lot  of friends would have cried about this in 7th.[/quote]
