Ugh seriously? I’m so mad now.

OP here and one of the boys went around last year telling everyone that a new girl was actually a boy, so that checks out. A parent even repeated it.

(She is a girl in all possible ways but was athletic and beat that boy in sports in PE so she became his target for a while).

You just proved these kids don’t understand a word they’re saying. It describes a man that doesn’t pass as a woman. Seriously OP, these are CHILDREN! Stop with the out to get them attitude. When adults can’t agree what it means and now you want to rake them over hot coals for saying a word you don’t even understand? This is why your daughters will grow up to hate men and end up divorced single moms before they are 40.

Your kid needs to grey rock them or lay one of them on the floor, depending on ability.

It’s my DD (no idea why I left gender out, sorry) and these are boys who are messing with her. DH and I gave her permission to fight back in a physical way. They deserve a punch to the face or a kick in the crotch.

It disgusts me but I think these are the sort of kids that only understand physical violence. She claims she can’t do it, but in case she is brave enough, I told her to punch them and go straight to the main office and self-report what she did, and we’ll come to pick her up as soon as they call us.

Ok knowing she's female- yes they mean fat (whether she is or not). Terrible, I'm sorry OP.

:roll: This is not the 1970s, people no longer use "brick" like "brick house". Please search "bricked up" on Urban Dictionary or Tiktok. It's a very common phrase among young people meaning to have an erection. People use it literally all the time to describe a guy who is turned on. Calling her a brick is almost certainly a derivative of that, nothing to do with weight, other than I guess an implication that they like whatever weight she's at and view her through a sexual lens. Gross to be sure, when directed at your young daughter, but that's middle school boys for you.

OP here and unfortunately they’re not even in middle school. DD is in 4th grade and these boys are in 4th and 5th grade. I just had to email school about it and already felt violated on her behalf and now that I am seeing this meaning I feel gross for even typing it into an email.

Also, I’m sure you didn’t intend it like that but I feel strongly that even dismissing it as standard middle school boy behavior in a thread like this is the kind of excuse-making and “boys will be boys” stuff that allows boys to keep doing it and gives teachers and parents the excuse to look away and avoid uncomfortable conversations about inappropriate behavior that leads to or is sexual harassment.

You seem to have a lot of hang ups about men. These are children, you need to adjust and relax.

I like men and boys just fine as long as they’re not targeting my daughter for insults and comments with implied or explicit sexual meaning!

Look, I am not defending the behavior and have girls too, but these boys have no idea what they are saying. They are young children repeating crap they have heard, they are not in any way thinking of your daughter sexually. I really hope you did not imply that in your email. Yikes.

I definitely didn't mean to defend them, more like to just accept the fact that so many men/boys, at whatever age, are utter degenerates and it's an unfortunate and sad fact of life. Bitter and depressing, for sure, but a sad reality. I didn't realize she was in 4th grade- that certainly would add to my distress (how awful) and I think it's good that you're emailing the school about it. It's sad how many girls have to face that kind of sexualization at increasingly younger ages, and should certainly be addressed, hopefully, by the school administration. I just am not surprised, considering I am a millennial and remember being sexualized and having jokes made about girls getting boobs in 4th/5th grade as well, so I have no illusions that young boys will be sweet and kind to young girls, even though they obviously should. It's a sad reality that so many girls have to deal with, especially as internet pron has become more and more pervasive.
