Okay, get this one.

My sweet little cousin who is the fifth grade just got shafted, big time.

She is a very sweet girl, funny, fun, and smart. She is, however, slightly (like hardley at all, it's just a little bit of leftover baby fat that will go away) overweight, shy, and sweats a bit more than the other girls her age.

I also forgot to mention she is attending a snotty ass private school.

Anyways, the kids, especially the other girls, have been real bitches to her as of recent. They always seemed to get along throughout the younger years, and now suddenly she's "uncool".

They've been putting mean notes on her back, talking about her behind her back, and sometimes right to her face.

The meanest thing they've done recently was this:
All the kids were eating lunch in the cafeteria, and my cousin (well call her X) was getting her tray of food and going to sit at the girl table, where she always sits. As X went to put her tray down, all the girls Simultaneously picked up their trays and moved them to a different table, as a mean joke. Or i guess to show how much they hate her.



I wanna get even with them, but they're only in fifth grade. So of course that's out of the question. Evidently you can't tell kids off these days. It's like a cardinal sin that you'll burn in hell for.

Fucking stupid little spoiled whore bitches. I dont give a fuck if they are still kids, their snobby gross parents have raised them to be snobby, gross people. I hope a piano falls on them.

Ya'll should have seen the pain in my cousin eyes, and how much she was crying, according to my mom. She doesnt even want to go back now. School starts in about a month, what should she do?

This story hits home for me.

I was unpopular as hell from about fourth to sixth grade. i was akward, said weird things, wore penny loafers that my mom bought me, as well as other nerdy outfits, and just didnt fit in. It was awful. The girls shunned me and made me feel like shit about myself.


I actually had something very very similar happen to me, almost exactly what happened to my cousin. Except we had smaller lunch tables, and they were broken up.

However things did get better for me. When the braces FINALLY came off, I was suddenly popular. I went from being the girl that everyone made fun of to homecoming queen my senior year of high school. Of course I had also learned to rise above what other thought about me, I no longer gave a fuck. And I still don't. I mean, I dont want folks to think I'm a messed up person, or a bitch, but if someone wants to call me a dork or uncool or anything like that, I don't care. We are all just people, no one is any better than anyone else.



XOXO

Dork...........




Man, that really makes me sad I'm sorry. I was the same way in school; unpopular, awkward, out of town kid so I didn't get to socialize very much. Then shit, before you know it I developed, grew into my own, then everyone wouldn't leave me alone

I'm so sorry for you cousin; i empathize with that. Too bad you couldn't initiate those girls into humility like in Dazed & Confused!

Hey, I'd say the best thing little cousin has is you man. If she has someone like you around to tell her how special she is, loved, and that it doesn't matter what these girls do; I think that's gold. Her support system is the best thing for her.


edit: And you and I both know the only reason those girls do that is to make themselves feel superior to her. Like you said no one is better than anyone else.

Just explain to your cousin that sometimes people can be very, very mean, whether they intentionally are or not, and I have gotten myself in this mindset, I really don't care at all what anyone thinks of me besides my friends and family, no one else matters, now of course that doesn't mean to shut off other people, but if someone is acting like that to your cousin, shes gotta go out and try her hardest to make some new friends, i know how hard that can be, i used to be quite shy.

but really, just tell her to keep her spirits up and she always has family there that loves her no matter what, thats my

pre-pubescent kids and teenagers are the meanest creatures to walk the face of this earth.

My son, fifth grade last year was shunned and the kids mean to him. Especially the boys on the football team. Of course, they were just jealous b/c he was the STAR of the team!! (and he really was ) But once we showed up to football practice and the boys were in the parking lot throwing the ball to each other. My son ran up there to join in, and they took the ball and all of them walked away leaving him there.

He came to me crying, wondering what he had done wrong. I explained he had done nothing wrong, the parents treat me the same way. And if the parents act like that, you can't expect much more from the kids.

Just continue words of encouragement! ALWAYS tell her she is pretty, ALWAYS tell her she is worth something. These are the years when the self imagine is the most fragile. Always tell her she is just fine, it is everyone else with the problems. ( ) Kids are mean

I was bullied a lot during my young years and i had few friends because we moved every 2 years or so. Until i went to a snobby ass boarding school lol! I got bullied there but since you live with those who haunt you its easier to get back at them. I was in the 6th Grade at the time when they bullied myself the most i had ever been. What did i do to get the better of them,i hung out a lot with my friends. Sadly in a boarding house of 50 guys there was 47 Chinese students, 1 Korean who was my best friend and 2 British Kids. The Korean and the other British kid stuck together and held our own when situations turned sour...But anyways, i'm finding that public school is the best place to interact with other kids as they are the people and not some 'upper-class' snobs. I love high school as opposed to the 4 years i spent in an English boarding school.

Private school blows. It's 90% full of douche bags who think they're somehow better than everyone else cause their parents are stinkin rich. My 2 years stuck in one messed me up pretty damn good for the next 3; to this day, if someone acts like they think they're better than me, I don't give a fuck how inappropriate it is, I'm gonna lash out at them.
I got into a lot of fights over those 2 years (I was about the same age as your cousin) but that didn't really solve anything for me. I just ended up getting in a shitload of trouble; I don't get along with authority figures in general so that made things worse. Basically the only thing that helped me was getting the fuck out of there.
But all being said and done, that bullshit probably made my inner frame a lot stronger. I really don't give a fuck if someone doesn't like me anymore. That's THEIR problem, not mine. Just one more person I don't want around me. But it took me years to get to this point.

Tell her that as long as she tries to make good decisions every step of her life, she has NOTHING to be embarrassed or feel bad about. If someone tries to make her feel that way, they're just twisted people.

Don't take shit. It only comes from shitheads

I would tell her to either just laugh and give them the finger (or give some kind of verbal taunt/eye poke), or make them fear her. fuck them

Not sure that I would give them the finger. As I told my daughter, just turn around and walk away. If they act like that they are not your friends...and why would you want friends who would treat someone like that anyways?? I sure as heck don't.

ya... I would give flip em off with a smile, but I wouldn't recommend a 5th grader do that. What's the 5th grader equivalent of "go screw yourself"? lol

For me, it was an issue of analyzing everything. Why do I feel bad? Why do I care what they think? Should I? Why should I let people who care nothing about me have emotional power over me? Worse yet, people who enjoy making me feel bad.

Once I decided what I rightfully should be feeling in those situations, I just trained myself to feel that way.

Since then, being alone or having people hate on me doesn't bother me anymore... strangely enough that's when people started "attaching" themselves to me... people could see I was amazingly more confident than ever, but still a kind person, not arrogant like some.

But I don't expect that would work for everyone, I'm a bit weird like that.

pot helped me a lot with that too, it helped me dig into myself really deep and change my attitude... of course I'm not recommending that for a kid. I got tossed into a really strange situation, and I had to dig myself out, and I was lucky to have weed come along when I needed it.

Now I'm happy without it, but I still plan to enjoy it in the future.

I don't know if any of this has helped... but I felt like writing as mental torture and manipulation really strike a chord with me.
