[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand when parents try to prevent their kid from being bullied (by bullying their kids, basically). Especially by middle school kids have a pretty good idea of what will get them bullied. Or the bullying is random. As the parent you have almost zero insight into the social dynamics of your middle schooler and trying to control them is futile. If child wants to wear a tutu, they are obviously consciously signally SOMETHING (could be a variety of things). I'm assuming the child is not an idiot and has some insight into the potential reactions of people at school and is trying to provoke those reactions. This is normal and a part of testing out individual identity. As a parent it's our job to support that process not to add to the kid's stress.[/quote]

You don’t understand when a parent tries to prevent their child from getting bullied? Seriously? [/quote]

Getting hurt is living life. We can't bubble wrap our kids from everything. Not to mention, we'd probably get it wrong.

Show them what to do in case of bullying. Not just telling them what not to do so they don't get bullied. What if they still get bullied?[/quote]

We are talking about kids here. Not adults who can handle themselves. [/quote]

This is how teens (that's this forum right?) learn how to handle these situations.

Set them up for being bullied at a vulnerable age. That’ll fix those bullies! [/quote]

How old are your kids? Do you have any kids? 
[/quote]

Uh, yes and they are tween and teens. And you are still wrong. [/quote]
