off the subject, but I am one angry mother

September 12, 2003

I am sorry that this is off the subject and maybe long by the time I

get done ranting. I just called my 7th grade daughter at home to see

how her day went and she said ok, except for this one girl who

continues to pick on her. Last time I told her to tell the girl

that, as long as she is picking on my daughter then she can't pick

on someone else. Well apparently they were in class and before the

bell rang, she was yelling to my daughter the cows are calling you.

She continued to say this over and over. I asked my daughter what

did you do, she replied that the girl kept talking so she could not

get a word in, (she was going to say what I told her to say) anyway

the bell rang and at that point the kids are to stop talking. So my

daughter didn't get a chance to say anything. This part of the story

makes me hurt only because my daughter is very sensitve and I know

it had to hurt. What really puts the icing on the cake for me was,

there was a teacher sitting there the whole time, the only words out

of her mouth were you need to get quiet. HELLO!!! I would have

yanked that girl right to the principle. So I told my daughter not

to worry about it, if it happens again then she has my permission to

speak after the bell has rang, (only to again say what I told her,

as long as your picking on me then you not picking on someone else)

even if she does get into trouble. I would back her 100%. I offered

to goto the school and have a talk, but she was not sure about that,

since the girl may tease her about having her mother get involved.

So I told her to think about it over the weekend and she can handle

it herself. What really gets me is my daughter is 12 years old,

playing on the Jr. high volleyball team and is about 5ft tall and

weighs about 100 pds. She is already concerned about her weight

after watching me struggle. She is not skinny and not fat, as I

would say she is healthy. Thank you ladies for letting me vent. I

applogize since this is not on the subject, but I had to let it out.
