[QUOTE="justadad, post: 1420965, member: 373519"] Hi [USER=375126]@IslesCass[/USER]. Thank you for being a great mum and for sharing your experience. I have learnt quite a lot here, on this forum, by reading about what others have done/seen/experienced. My son just turned 11, diagnosed T1D 2 months ago. His classmates were curious, but never bullied him. Or not yet. They are still growing and the worst in children comes at that age, this is from my experience looking back in my childhood 30 years ago. Children are a reflection of their parents, their family, their immediate surrounding. I believe you should seek ways to bring this situation to the attention of the parents of the bully, to make them understand, and hopefully they might be able to help. But eventually he will need to stand up for himself. One thing we've been telling my son is that we are all different and suffer some condition. Some wear glasses, some are allergic to things, some are overweight, some are short, some have big ears, some walk funny, some have bad teeth, some are stupid. Nobody's perfect. This was helpful for us, because it somehow resolved the problem of 'why just me'. It's not just you, it's everyone. [/QUOTE]
