[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.

Even though OP's son has said the same thing? Most likely the other child has heard that comment from OP's son in the past and was responding in kind.[/quote]

This. I had a mom contact me saying her kids feelings were hurt over something my kid said during online game play. Turns out her kids dishes it out far more and can't handle taking a little of it himself. I told my son to block that kid and never play with him again since he and his mom were both bad news.  I believe my son had said "you're stupid", but what the other boy had said to my son was far worse like "you suck, you loser!" Tell your kid not to be such a tattle tale, OP, if he doesn't want to end up friendless.[/quote]

OP here: even though I don’t know for sure if my son said the same things, I can easily imagine he did. Boys trash talk! They need to learn not to, but also it’s not some extraordinary situation that needs attention from the principal. [/quote]
