Why are kids so mean

Help strengthen your daughter so she won’t feel hurt by what others say or do. I always tell my daughter people are going to always have something to say but we can’t let that breaks us. Maybe find some books that can uplift her. Ask her what does she need from you or anyone else to make this better too

I was thinking the same thing the other day! I have a 7 year old boy. If you ever want to message me. Feel free! I hope the situation improves with your little one! The world’s harsh.

Thank you.

Usually when people are mean no matter their age it is a sign that they are holding a lot of pain inside and they are trying to find a way to let some of it out..spreading their pain by making others hurt too doesn't work-but they often don't even realize that is what they are doing. My daughters and I pray for the kids who are mean. I remind them that as long as we are being kind and doing the right thing other peoples actions have nothing to do with us.How they act is purely about them. I've also explained that when someone is hurting or sad, seeing us be happy makes them want to lash out. That doesn't mean we shouldn't continue to share our joy,but we can understand,again,that their actions are about themselves and not actually about us at all. I remind my 3 girls over&over not to take things personally. Continue to be kind.You can be firm, honest& have boundaries while still being kind. Tell her to keep her head up. All we need is one good friend, and that one is worth waiting for ❤️

I was going through the same thing with my 7 yr old boy. And I made a huge deal about it. I had meetings with his teacher, vice principal and principal. I will not tolerate bullying. And I even spoke to the boys parents. We all agreed that the boys could not be together at all. So they are not allowed to play in the same area and are not in the same class anymore. I even spoke to the after school program staff and asked them to keep them separated. Now, having said all this, I must say that my son finds himself isolated because most of the other kids play with the bully. “The cool kid” is school. It breaks my heart to see but I am trying to teach him that he’s a great kid and it’s not always going to be like this. My son loves school but I can see that he feels sad that he doesn’t really have anyone to play with. So I’m not sure what to do there.

My 12 year old daughter gets bullied and kids are just getting meander and meaner it’s heartbreaking 💔 I just tell her she’s so strong and to just focus on learning but tells me it feels lonely and she dreads school 😔 I hate school for her 😢 and hate seeing her this sad and full of anxiety

Ugh kids are so mean! Might not be the best advice but when my son was being bullied (physically being hurt) I told him if it happens again it’s okay to fight back, rough that other kid up so he’ll back off. We were being called almost daily about incidents and I got sick of it!
