Thank goodness!

I was gawky and awkward and never had the cool clothes. I was worried about my son and as it turns out he’s just the opposite. I have enough to give him the things he “needs” and he really doesn’t care about any of them. Looking at him in 4th grade I realize HE is the cool kid. It’s more about confidence and accepting who you are then what you look like. :) Hugs!!

Never, ever, ever worry about what others think. Buy clothing you like and he likes and teach your kid what I taught mine, that it does not matter what someone else thinks.

I even remember when my teacher made me tell everyone in class that my aunt had breast cancer… the kids found a new game of punching me in the boobs cause that would make me have it too. it was horrible. I hope that he sails thru and does not get picked on. I know that he will be one of the kids that will not be a bully either.

Hopefully the kids in his class stick together to just do the right thing!!!

I completely feel your fear. It was mine too. At times I can still cry about it. And like you when I got to middle school those same people wanted to be my friends. They were in public school just like me and they did not have the option like private school where their parents could not influence school officials to “like them more”. They were LOST and like you I remembered how they treated me and would avoid them like the plague…. Thankfully my high school years ROCKED.
