But words can be so powerful and mean sometimes, especially coming from boys.
I've been puzzled lately about my teenage daughter's drastic change from a pretty outgoing, confident young lady to a complete introvert, shying away from the center of attention she used to love so much. Of course becoming a teenager suddenly and the hormonal changes that come along with it don't help any, but as it turns out, she has a stalker who's making her life hell at school.
I am tempted to call his parents to make them aware of what their son is up to and tell him to back off.
Just the other day he grabbed my daughter by her hair forcefully, tied a rubberband in it and messed it up pretty bad. Long story short, the dean ended up cutting off about three inches of her hair to get rid of the mess. Ever since then, she's discovering all kinds of bad things he's been saying about her behind her back, trying to alienate her from her friends, all because she wouldn't go out with him.
Makes me so mad!
