Her name is Leslie (she would kill me for telling)...when we moved and she went to a different school...she was in 3rd grade...kids called her 'lesbian' (I can't believe they even knew the meaning of the word!)...anyway, they were very very cruel and I ended up moving to get her out of that situation because the school was essentially no help! Luckily, it is over...but, she is scarred from it...not from the name calling really, but, from the kids attitudes and how they treated her...

Star, the fact you had to move because of these ppl makes me really mad...I can't believe the cruelty. I had some troubles in junior high with girls trying to beat me up a lot, and I almost ran away and quit school because of it. I have empathy for what you went through with your daughter...poor gal.

The Sebastian thing rocks my world, I love weird things like that! 🙂

I guess I could have stayed there and helped her face them...but, we had already done that...we were there almost 3 years...probably too long...she got tired of telling me what was going on, so, when I thought things were better, they weren't. I am just glad that we moved when we did. I never knew if those boys intended to prove she wasn't a lesbian or what the deal was! Luckily I was there at the time!

cj7, I have a soft spot for Italians! Vincento!

Well jeez Star, you don't have to leave!

I don't understand the bully thing either--and I wouldn't fight back in junior high, so these pseudo "gangster" chicks were always at me, because I would just walk away. Finally, one day I turned around and gave this girl a piece of my mind because I had had it with her butter. I wasn't bothered by them after that, although part of that was because the police showed up at school to warn these girls to stop harassing me...oh yeah, it was a huge thing. I think that is why I had a hard time not going off on suz--I refuse to ever feel shouted down again.

damn pheonix, you had it pretty rough in hs. Gang banger chicks are fakes anyway, they just act like they bang becaues they wanna see cool to their boys. And they talk like "w'sup cuhz" or "ya'll b1tches aint right!" because they wanna sound tough. They werent brought up that way, trust me. And its not a "it just grew in" thing either, they just talk like that cus they wanna fit in. But eventually most grow out of it lol
