[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not your son "standing up for himself." This is your son being a bully and trying to get his friend in trouble. What would possibly possess him to involve the principal over an (admittedly crude, but plainly joking) comment made outside of school? At least, I'm assuming it was outside of school.

I doubt it will be ignored, but I expect both boys will be pulled in for a talk. The friend about his language and your son about learning how to properly handle situations like this.

I also expect word will get around and your son will face some natural social consequences for this, so you should prepare to help him through that. And definitely talk to him about why he chose this (frankly bizarre) path in response to the comment. [/quote]

People like you are the problem, not OP's son.  OP's son absolutely did the right thing.  Let me repeat:  OP's son did the right thing in forwarding the email to the Principal.  The other boy needs to be reprimanded and counseled about appropriate behavior and interactions on social media.  The other boy will face a consequence.  OP's son will be told that he did the right thing.

Wtf? [/quote]

For real.  I’m really confused what the principal has to do with any of this.  This wasn’t at school.  It didn’t involve a school assignment.  It was at  over a computer game at home...

If some kid in your child’s school calls your kid an as*hole while in line at Dairy Queen, would you contact the school principal?

OP, nothing to be done now.  Your son did what he did, now let him face whatever the principal decides to do, which is likely going to be very little.  Do not intervene.  Contacting the principal is super weird, but what happened is really NBD.[/quote]

Opps, correction.  I now see it was during school at lunch on school email.  Then yes, OPs son did the right thing.  But..where they playing computer games at school during class?  That would be my question. [/quote]

OP here: telling on friends for every little thing is not the right thing to do. Also my impression was that they played during lunch as well. [/quote]
