[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD isn't bullied, but I was. [b]Kids that bully are losers as are their parents, at least in my case the parents and kid were losers.[/b]

Regardless, one of DDs friends was having a tough time last year. The girl didn't have any friends, according to her mom. The mom requested her DD be in my DD class this year. I told my DD to make sure to include this child in all activities at school. DD has many friends including this girl. The mom told me that her DD is much happier knowing that she has a true friend in her class. I have taught DD to be a dependable and trustworthy friend. [b]There are some girls and boys in her class that you can tell are losers and I tell DD what I think of these kids. One thing I can't stand is a loser kid [/b]and economics has nothing to do with it.

I feel bad for your daughter. The next 2 years will be rough. 7 and 8 grade sucked! HS will be awesome, though! Helping her to cultivate her own deep friendships is a great gift. Empower her with love and the knowledge that kids who think they are better are broken inside and that is sad, so sad, but their reality, not hers.  Good luck![/quote]
Yikes. I think it might be more helpful to teach your daughter that sometimes people do hurtful things, but that no one is all good or all bad. Calling children "losers" seems counter-productive. [/quote]
