[QUOTE="kris, post: 19554, member: 74"] <span style="color: #990000">i agree with-the others. middle school is the three lowest circles of he*l. there seems to be no way around it. they just have to muddle through. it's easy for us, as adults, to tell them to just ingnore it, but this is their life & it hurts terribly when this stuff happens to them perpetrated by people they like & trust. i simply can't believe such a big deal is being made about a *bad* word....i've heard the middle school kids getting on & off the bus & they all talk curse like the proverbial sailors. since there is no fix for this i think the best thing you can do is let her know you are there to listen to her....that you will intervene if/when she asks you to, but not before ~~~ nothing worse than having your mom making an unasked for fuss with-the the school. of course if you really belive things have progressed beyond the *norm* you'll have to step in anyway & she needs to know that. certainly encourage her friendship with-the one girl you mentioned. try & open convos about the state of middle school horrors when the opportunity presents itself. give them ops to problem solve together. it does get better in HS....at least by 10th grade. it's just a long haul until then. kris </span> [/QUOTE]
