I am fed up with little prats raised today. Not just them but if I could *puts on a frozen mukluk* get a hold of those stinking rotten parents that have taught these children to be like this boy oh boy could I get rid of some stress!

If your child is heavy not really obese but heavy and very active they are isolated, get the best marks in class, taller then the rest, shorter then the rest, believe whole hearted in Jesus, stand up for themselves they earn ridicule and isolation from the rest. JB you are far from alone in this I think your and LDS_forever post today just did it for me. I am up to here with it!

Childhood is your best time in you life it is to be care free, worry free. Just you, your dog and a couple of real good friends. They should be digging in dirt busting some windows playing ball. Not stressed out and lonely it is just plain WRONG!

I had a great pleasure of catching up with several friends this week God was very kind to allow this. As many here know my oldest struggles with verbal abuse at school, he does his best to hold his temper and I give him full praise. If it were me I would have been expelled by now and sever class mates would know why.

My friends all were relaying similar concerns that were almost exact as the one I have seen my son face. I have no answers folks other then stand up tall praise the boys and tell them it is not them that are messed up; it is the rest of the world that are getting brainwashed buy the mass media as to what is acceptable and desirable.

In my child hood I was a runt, heck I still am far from tall or large. Being Scottish this is no shock. But I never had issues like these boys are facing in school or the playground. My best friend was in special Ed .. He was loved by most of the school till high school then it got harder for him.

I sit here now my heart is lumpy in my throat and just wish it would change. In my heart I know things are going to get far worse before better and pray for the strength and sanity each day. As men it is our best defense for our children, but it is just so wrong. I am tired of school visits. They have been less in the last two months since my son lost it and hit hard, two of the boys (In grade 5 he is in grade 4.) that were the biggest issue. I think I just needed to say this for my own sanity. I know all will be good in the end but the trip for them in the duration sure can be bumpy.

I understand how you feel. For the protection of Felipe we home school him. Have you thought about that avenue?

Introduction Krakyn

Yes we have though we are still up in the air about it. A friend is a teacher and is going to teach her child next year we are strongly debating asking her if she would like two students. Since we know the act is going to be a financial burden we are thinking we give her the day care costs we now incur in exchange. Lessen both our burdens. But that still leaves the youngest in school, he I do not think will have the same burden as his brother do to the difference in personality.

What about your wife teaching them, or does she work full time as well?

I have a son in high school who is going through some of these same issues. HE is not a fighter and he just walks away. We know it hurts him by the acting out at school and at home. I have been in to talk to the principal and the issue is getting a little bit better. His main adversaries are a group of girls. I told him that he has to walk away because if he yells at them or strikes at them HE is going to be in worse trouble. He has had a lot of long talks with his mother and I think he is finally coming around. I hope it all improves.

I have also seen how younger kids, those in 5th grade thru 8th grade can be very hard on a person who is different in any way. I have seen first hand at them going out of their way to pick on a kid. I stepping in their way and asked them why they want to do that. Their answer: "because it is so much fun." I chased them away. One of the boys mothers said something to me about minding my own business. I told her she needs to teach her kids not to pick on others because they are different but to embrace them because they are not a cookie cutter.

KNtoran you nailed it my oldest is getting heckled by the girls more now but at least he finds that more tolerable as who care about a bunch silly girls. At least at this age is they way my son put it. We are setting him up with a great councilor to help coach him in this. My wife was the school yard bully and is helping him but we do not have all the answers he needs yet.

I will advise you though be careful of speaking to the other children it can get you in hot water with the school board. I did it once and now have a letter on my file. The child walked by and kicked for no reason my sons back pack. He did not who I am and he is a repeat offender. All I did was ask him to go explain to the teacher on yard duty why he kicked it. The boy immediately denied doing it. I said to him look I was standing right here do you think I am blind? and point to the teacher. I never thought any thing of it till the nice girly principle called me at work.

The children know they have more rights and power in that school then the parents and enjoy displaying it. It be a very changed world indeed.
