Dealing with other parents you might assume this Iannis, but its far from the truth. Like I said its rare to find parents that give a shit (a) and actually consider their little golden nugget could do something like pick on a girl 2 yrs removed with a speech impediment.

I have another incident that happened with my kid, its when we bought him the xbox 360. One day he calls me onto his room and plays a recorded message that was left by a kid. something along the lines that he is gay pussy dick licking whatever, it was fucking awful to have my son hear this at the age of like 11 at the time.

So my sleuth wife goes on a hunt and tracks this kid down, it was a buddy of one of my sons buddies in school, couple of grades older. She finds the phone number from the school directory, call the parents, we even played the message for them over the phone. And they genuinely sounded concerned, telling us that his xbox days are over...etc... A couple of days later my son gets another xbox message from this kid. Telling him hes dead for telling on him, etc... They didnt even take his xbox privilege away like they said they would.

Aren't you a black dude? I assume your daughter is black as well? Are these 5th graders white? If so, just accuse them of being racist and they'll probably be expelled immediately. Then call Al Sharpton and sue the school district for lack of action.

They probably laughed. Why would anybody be concerned about xbox trash talk?

Yeah, that was me at that age. I moved to the hick-est town in the state and got teased a lot by everyone and got in various small fights with other girls when I actually tried to stick up for myself, until finally in 6th grade, six of them put me on the ground and kicked me in the guts until I couldn't shit right for 8 months, while everyone else watched and did nothing. The school absolutely did not give one shit about what happened, but this was more than 20 years ago now, in a backwards fucking district at that. That's why I ended up at Catholic school for 7th and 8th grade.

She should just be lucky it's boys bullying her, because they won't actually do anything to hurt a girl besides make fun of her for a while until they get bored and move onto someone else. Girls are MUCH more persistent and efficacious at bullying other girls.

Even now, with the speech impediment basically gone, it's left me with tons of speech anxiety that makes it difficult, stressful and embarrassing for me to speak at all, which has profoundly impacted my life in a severely negative way.

Just have the older brother scare them, boys spook easy until after they hit puberty. But regardless, your daughter is gonna need therapy of various kinds, be prepared.

Sorry for the oversharing.

All I know is if I found out my kids were harassing a kid several years younger there would be hell to pay.

That being said you could also try giving her the kids say and do stupid things speech and that you know its hard but be strong and don't let them get to you.

People are assholes and developing a thick skin really helps. I spent all my teenage years with my best friends all calling each other the worst names we could think of on a daily basis. Deal with that for a few years and other people's insults are almost funny in how non offensive they are.

This. I guess this is why I have a hard time understanding why bullying is such a problem. The things we called each other would get me banned here for homophobic, racist, etc

I'm shocked that so many people are suggesting to send the big brother in to scare them. That might have been a good idea 20 years ago. Now there are just all kinds of ways that goes horribly wrong.

Because that's the way we grew up. I would love to do that, but I mean the school sends shit home about bullying, how to be gay friendly, how to accept that black guy Brahma in town etc every month.

My father called. (Vice-Principal retired) told me if I file some complaint with some office, they will have an escort to, from and at school for my daughter. They are so scared about this bullying crap for some reason even he doesn't understand.

This made me laugh way more than is appropriate sir.

My grandfather was a Principal as well. Unfortunately he is dead now but I would be really curious what he thinks of schools these days. Wish I could ask.

They're scared because there are a record number of bully-related suicides now. Your daughter is only in the 3rd grade, but we live in a world where we can't retaliate lest we wish to be punished ourselves.

Just my opinion, but the most important thing is to talk to your daughter about the fact that people will probably use that against her the rest of her life and that she should learn that assholes who do probably aren't worth the breath to respond or the time to cry. Most of them will grow out of it as they mature but some people are just assholes their entire lives. If someone treats her differently or badly because of her speech impediment that is just a superpower she has to alert her to the jackasses who don't deserve an ounce of her time or respect.

That's weird. I had a slight speech impediment as well as a child, but all that ever happened to me is that everyone thought I was British.

Seriously, the teacher would always ask me at the beginning of the year where my family was from. But you know, I watched a lot of PBS between 2-8 years old. I was probably mimicking the pronunciations of old british sitcoms.

Like I said I had the stuttering thing, but it was because I was thinking too fast and could not get my mouth to process it. So speech therapy helped me slow the fuck down and the problem was gone in a few years of therapy.
