I had to go talk to Elizabeth's teacher again today about a boy in her class that has relentlessly bullied her a good part of the year, if not the whole year.
And in my head, I was plotting getting him alone, off school property and giving him a good swift kick to make a LASTING impression. (NO. I'm not going to.) And then I started going through in my head the likely hood that I could actually get away with it.
And I realized that because Elizabeth is a girl, I probably could on some level get away with it.
And I realized how fortunate I am that I'm going through this with a 12 year old GIRL vs a 12 year old BOY.
I can protect her so much better than I could a boy. As messed up as our society has become, society as a whole still looks at girls as off limits as far as bullying goes from boys. I have a much better case in my favor if I were to go after this boy for hurting my DAUGHTER than I would if he hurt my son. Sucks in the case of a boy. But gives me an edge with my girls.
I must have done SOMETHING right in the preexistence. I truly have proof that I am very well cared for by my Father.( I'm not saying this to gloat. But why call an egg a stone just to save feelings. ) I really honestly have been blessed with the EXACT right balance in life.
I believe that is part of why my girls came first. All of this bullying will be more manageable (yes, I get girls can be relentless when they bully. But THAT, I can fight girl to girl) with the Girls first. And then, if it happens to Jacob, I'll have some experience First.
Plus, he'll have his 3 big sisters to help.
No one will TOUCH Bella ;-)

Boy, do I understand this! My son is so nervous about going in to Jr High because he is worried he will be bullied. He's a little "different" but will be just fine in school. I hate that we live in a world with bullies...kids, adults, it's all over the place!
