I apologize. I never meant that.
I was picked on for being smart and docile.
I finally took boxing at 17 because it didn’t stop.
It stopped after that.
I feel for your son. People dont need a reason to be cruel.
Not my son.
I didn’t post the thread.
I homeschooled my kids through 8th grade at the very least for that very reason.
After we moved, they all did a year or two at the local public high school, but by that point, they were more than capable of handling themselves.
Our local public school still does religious stuff for Christmas, does not freak out when the first graders use, for words that begin with a short *a* sound, the word *ammo*, and fired the health teacher who tried to implement some progressive, controversial sex ed lessons using produce.
It’s one of many local school districts that give the kids the day before Thanksgiving off, because it was opening day of deer season. So many teachers, and kids with their parents, were out hunting that day that there was no point in having school.
And in NYS of all places.
You got it.
Respect is not a response you can demand.
It is an attitude you must command.
