A pair of girls that live around the neighborhood and ride the same bus with Justin have decided that it’s fun to tease him for living with his aunt and uncle instead of his parent. He’s happy here, except when crap like this happens (like a near-teen needs help with not fitting in).

I’ve seen the kids — they’re his age, but not the group he plays with — they just want to get his attention. Anyway, what I think I’ll do is visit their houses and get their folks to tell them to knock it the fuck off so I don’t have to do it myself explain to their parents what the Boy’s situation is, so they can explain it to their kids.

Really, they just need to get a fucking clue understanding is the key.

Interesting.

Coming from the Rez, where alot of kids are raised by thier Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles, or even Cousins, I never saw any crap like that.

Go do some bitch slapping.

If that doesn't work, you can always teach the boy the valuable lesson of dog poop in a flaming paper bag. :)

Rooba, you *are* bad.

Although, my cynical self was thinking, yeah, good luck dealing with those parents... if the kids are that bad, it's probably what they've been taught...

I did say I was cynical...

Cynical or no, one things is sure, kids will find something to tease you about. And as painful as it is to develop, a thick skin is very important in life. I had no mother, and lived with my father (in a wheelchaie) and his parents and kids choose to pick on ... my name. Turned Oswell is to many things, but the one that stuck was Ostrich. I soon learned that it mattered what the people I like thought, and the rest of the world could "kiss my ass."

I would like to think that post Columbine here in CO it would make a difference to talk to their parents. After all the kids next door have yet to scale the fence since I talked with their mother!
