Growing up is hard - I was picked on too at times - and it still hurts years later. But your little guy is lucky to have a Mom like you!

My heart broke over one such talk about a month ago. It's kind funny how much our talk sounded like your talk with your son. My son has hemi-paresis in his right side and has speech problems, due to 5 strokes that he had when he was just two years old. He has noticed more and more in the past couple of years, how people treat him or shun him, or just completely ignore him altogether. He is homeschooled, but goes to the junior high youth group at church. One night we were on our way home from junior high youth group, and he just opened up, and sobbed and sobbed because no one wants to be his friend. There are a couple of girls who are friends with him, but not really any guy friends. Of course this broke my heart in two!!!! How I hurt for him. We are putting him in high school in the fall, and I am just praying that he will be able to find a couple of guy friends who would love to hang out with him, and vice versa. I feel for you! I so remember being the one in school with no friends, because I didn't dress cool, and wasn't allowed to wear makeup, nylons, or jeans to school! I was never popular until after I turned 21, and hung out at the bar, and those were NOT the kind of friendships I needed! Yes, I have a few close friends now, but it's been a LONG time coming!

Thing is though, I don't wish I could take back the years of loneliness. They really taught me a lot about people and about myself, so that when the time came I really did know how to be a great friend. <em>Memarie Lane's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MemarieLane/~3/263705781/memarie-snopes.html' rel="nofollow">Memarie Snopes</a></em> I had a moment like that too, but with me it was a room full of band geeks. :) In the middle of my junior year I suddenly became this confident, funny person I hadn’t been before and had friends like you wouldn’t believe.
