[quote=Anonymous]No longer in the DMV, but I swore there was something in the water there. Something rancid that made so many of the kids bullies. Our oldest was the same way as yours, OP, and still got bullied for not having the most recent phone, or name-brand coat, or whatever. Our younger kid would throw up before leaving for school -- the bullying took a very dark turn. We moved and our kids became much more relaxed, and happy. They gained real friendships that weren't based on financial status or things like that. I'm still quietly haunted by being a NOVA parent, to be honest. I still find myself waiting for the shoe to drop even now, for my kid to be bullied. I took our youngest to a school event and other kids were walking past saying "hi, [name]!" and smiling and waving. It made me feel emotional, although I didn't show it. I'm still getting used to other kids being nice kids, and it's been some years now.[/quote]
