Because I told my kids to absolutely stand up for themselves in school and if somebody punches them, kicks them, trips them, whatever - beat their ass. It won't happen again. - Apparently that's not what you're supposed to say to your kids or explain to their teachers. Ooops.

...My daughter confides in me because I sympathize. <br />Even if one cannot sympathize at least making an other person feel good by nodding with a friendly smile can help.<br />It used to be a culture that parents considered it babying if parents sympathized when kids got physically hurt or even mentally tormented, specially boys, so you have my double sympathy even at your age. Your mom is an example of tough moms I guess, as my mom was. My mom raised me to be tough, but I try to be kind with the hurting.
