Last night The boy said to me, "I don't think I'm ever going to be one of the cool kids at school." While I was coming up with what to say in return he went on that, "they say that cool kids don't pay attention in church or they sleep in church." What a great kid I have that he doesn't want to be popular if it means not paying attention at church! I did say to him that I don't want him to be one of them if that is what it takes and he agreed that he was okay not being a popular kid. He then went on to say, "I do wish that they would stop calling me dork, nerd and stupid, though."
There is the breaking your heart part. I have one of the most sensitive, kind, spiritual and thoughtful boys on earth and because of that he doesn't fit in and he gets called names. How do you get through these years trying to take care of every need of your children: physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional!
I wish I could make the bad things go away for my kids all the time. Unfortunately that is not why I'm here. I'm here to love them, support them and help them get through the bad times. There has to be bad for there to be good. We are here to be tested. I guess this is just part of his test.

That just breaks my heart. I don't like that when kids are treated that way.
He sounds like such a sweetie!
