Kids these days!

One K3 boy kept saying something to me which I couldn't understand. He already said the same lines 4x and I still couldn't get what he's saying.

I told him to say it slowly....

K3: My..... girlfriend.... is.... cheating.... on... me!

Me: 😳

Then he turned to his friend and started ranting to him! 🤣

Took me a few minutes to gather my thoughts...

Me: What do you mean?

K3: My girlfriend is cheating on me!

Me: How? Wait, how do you have a girlfriend and how is she cheating on you?

K3: She is sitting next to another boy for a long time now!!

Me: Who is your girlfriend?

K3: She is (says her Chinese name).

Me: Oh, what is her English name?

K3: I don't know her English name, let me check! (Goes inside the classroom to check her name plate 🤣)

This is hilarious! hahaha Kids nowadays! Omg! hahaha

Sometimes, the person who was supposed to protect your child… becomes the one who breaks their spirit. 💔

Yes, teachers can bully too.
Not all — but some.
And it’s one of the most painful things a parent can ever discover.

When your child comes home quieter than usual…
when they suddenly start hating school…
when their confidence disappears out of nowhere —
pay attention.
Because it might not be “just a phase.”

A teacher’s words carry power.
The way they talk to a child can either plant courage or cause lasting wounds.
And when that power is misused — through sarcasm, humiliation, favoritism, or cruelty — it doesn’t “build character.”
It breaks it.

Children should feel safe in their classrooms — not small.
They should be guided — not shamed.
They should be corrected with compassion — not crushed by authority.

If your child says, “My teacher doesn’t like me,”
don’t dismiss it.
Listen.
Ask questions.
Show up.
Protect them — even if it means standing alone.

Because no child deserves to be bullied by the very person they were taught to trust.
