Awww! :( poor Rodney, no wonder he hates that name so much, *huggles him*

leesa_perrie June 28 2007, 15:03:02 UTC

I know, I know, poor Rodney. *huggles him as well*

Thanks.

Oh, poor Rodney! You just want to hug him...

leesa_perrie June 28 2007, 16:13:52 UTC

But I always want to hug him!!!

Love your icon btw, it makes me want to hug him even more!

Thanks.

sholio June 28 2007, 16:39:09 UTC

Doesn't *everyone* want to hug him? *g*

leesa_perrie June 28 2007, 16:47:31 UTC

But of course! *slaps head* How could I have forgotten that?!!

That was really good. Very poignant. And girls! Nice touch.

Thank you - and yeah, it just struck me that it would be funny in a sad and not-funny way to make it girls and not boys. Believe me, some of the girls at my school were truly horrible when they wanted to be. Poor Rodney - but there are a lot of girls who want to be very nice to him nowadays!!!

And if it's girls, it probably will take him a little longer to snap and retaliate physically and will be worse for him when he does.

Kids can be so cruel sometimes. And name calling does hurt at that age. When you get older you see these kind of people for what they are... bullies, and you just ignore them, but when you're a kid ... it hurts. *hugs Rodney*

leesa_perrie June 29 2007, 11:58:32 UTC

Yeah, kids can be very cruel. Poor little Rodney - though he's seems to be getting a lot of hugs out of it!!

Nicely written, not overdone.

Plus that it's girls calling him names. If it was boys and physical then he might know better where he stood. If it was physical he could hit back.

So sad!

Thank you! I thought it would be more fun with girls bullying him than boys this time round!
