Jenn and Laura discuss a time when one of their kids was bullied at middle school.  Middle school is hard as it is.  The child told an adult about the lunch table discussions that were highly pornographic in nature.  The school took care of the situation but handled it poorly. The other students recognized quickly who the nark was and made the teenager pay. As a result, the child was bullied, ostracized and continuously picked on all semester.

They discuss the issues teenagers today have to face vs what they had to face.  Jenn and Laura also talk about ways they as parents try to help their kids, what they’ve seen work and not work, as well as how her child came out of the situation.
