they will find a reason. It was awful, but as I recall, it was just a part of life. just ignore them. How can you when you see them all the time!!! I admit now that I want to go down to the school and throw a fit every time my daughter has a problem with other kids. To a certain extent, I know that I can't fix it for her. I can tell her to ignore them all I want, but I know how hollow that is coming from a parent. Teachers don't tend to do a whole heckuva lot about much. When i was a kid my brother got beat up by the older kids on the bus and the bus driver did NOTHING. if i remember correctly, he laughed. the kids tried to take my brothers shoes off and throw them out the window. My parents complained and the driver was gone, but then was back again. and i'm sure nothing happened to the kids.
