My daughter is a little sensitive and I am the first to admit it. She has a tendency to over-react and has a hard time getting over things. There is a girl in her class that she's tried to be friends with; that she desperately wants to be friends with; but this girl is MEAN. I know it to be true. She was in my group yesterday that I chaperoned all day, and it took much restraint for me to not "accidently" leave her somewhere. She was disrespectful and I called her on it. I am pretty laid back, but I do believe that an 8 year old should address all adults properly. For my punishment, this girl opted not to sit with my DD on the bus home resulting in tears and whispers away from DD and basically bullying. I really wanted to say something to her teacher, but I really want my daughter to be able to work out her problems and move beyond jerks like this excuse for someones kid.
I have been teased in my life. It hurts. I have known too many mean girls -- they destroy your self esteem. Whether it's a blatant remark or a subtle whisper - it hurts and I hate it. I want to show my daughter that you can be yourself and it doesn't matter what others think or say. True friends will be there no matter what and they will ALWAYS have your back!
