She is real nice. We lost one student and gained another. So we are back to 6 again. She was taken out of a big city school where the kids called her Miss piggy. She has an eating disorder. She was so sad, because the kids didn't like here. Made fun of her hair, clothes, and body, her glasses. But she is real nice she was afraid of us at first. They put spiders in her locker and laughed when she cried. Why are kids so mean?

As they say kids will be kids. That does NOT make it right. You just have to lover her and tell her what a great kid she is . Be a mentor and help her become a new person show her that these kids will get what they deserve. Tell her to be the bigger person and try and laugh with them and hold back the tears. If they see that they are getting to her they will keep it up . If they find it does not bother her they will stop and in time will come to except her. Take her shopping and have a girls day out. Make her feel like a princess. Like we know she is!!!

because a lot of them have not been taught well as they were like, young...im a 'kid' i suppose, meaning im still at secondary school. i know that loads of teens out there are really mean, and a lot of it is coz they havnt been paid a lot of attention when they were young, or had bad examples shown by parents....or else they are insecure themselves, and they want to make themselves feel better by picking on someone else...its a problem, but i dont know what can be done...theres so much a teacher cant do these days, coz the student could just say they were picking on them! sorry...

Kids are mean because it makes them feel better and more superior...usually covering up their own insecurities or having a huge ego, it's always about themselves. They think they are better than others, sometimes just because they were raised that way (money, looks, etc). They have no class, even though they think they do. No class, no breeding. YOU be her friend, and be the bigger, better person. If you feel inclined, you could spread the word about her eating disorder and maybe that will help SOME of the crap from being said and happening.

looking backward to when I was a kid, I think many kids have inferiority complexes and are insecure, and they pick on everyone, it's just that some kids take the bait and cry when they are picked on, and some dont. I think if a kid's parents have self esteem, they will help the child have self esteem, and if a kid has self esteem they wont have to pick on anyone else to make themselves feel better. So I blame society for all this crap. I was picked on as a kid, and my son has special needs and he was traumatized by kids picking on him in public school. So, I say the new girl is lucky to have a classmate like you and it sounds like she is in a better place. Good for you for being kind.

I think kids act out because they feel like they need to look cool in front of their peers. Also I think that some kids act out some of the parents traits. Seeing how there parents act. I have two kids and they have been taught from the time they started asking questions that they need to respect themselves and others even if they are different.

Its a way for kids to gain a feeling of security and self confidence, however shallow and fleeing it may be.
I was the kid in school that everyone else picked on. Its just the way it is. Adults can be the same way, although we're not forced to put up with it then as we are when we're children.

I wish I had a good answer for that. Kids can be the most cruel people. That girl you were talking about, I feel so sorry for her. Maybe the teacher could do something. I am just lost for words. I do wish I knew some words of wisdom.

I think kids are sometimes like packs of wild animals in how mean they are. Partly they pass along what others do to them and it finds a target. Like a mean guy kicking a cat because his boss yelled at him or something. Partly kids just haven't learned to be polite and control themselves yet. Its a power, pecking order sort of thing mostly. Adults do it too, just more covertly.

I would beat the crap out of my kids if they did this. I blame the parents. I took one of my girls to the special oympics so help some of the kids there. It taught them a lot about people who are mentally or phycially challanged. I think all kids should do something like this.

I hate to say it, but children learn from other children who either learn from a parent or a sibling. One bad influence can spread like wild fire through kids who are looking to keep from getting singled out too.
It is a case where kids are trying to fit in with other kids.
