[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are way lazier than you think. No one is excluding a child out of malice, and definitely not because of “geeky” interests. I get along with lots of parents, but there are many children who are difficult. If your child is even slightly rude or rambunctious, most parents will opt for nicer kid. Most people love delightful children, and there are few of them so they become “popular”.[/quote] Oh, mothers are excluding kids out of malice. We moved when my daughter was in third grade. Two girls immediately clung to her. When she had a birthday party I invited all the girls and some from her old school. One mother told me her two new friends were the meanest girls in third grade. Great. My daughter was quiet and never joined in their rude bully ways. But the 3rd, 4th and 5th grade teachers mentioned that my daughter should choose different friends. She was nothing like them but it’s kind of guilt by association. I would get some girls together on early days. A mother would say “she can’t if Jessy is there”. Mothers who were so transparent in wanting their child to be popular that even the kids notice. The things they said were horrible. Laughing at children’s clothes, hair, whatever right in front of their own children. Leaving one girl out because she’s a dork. [/quote]
