[Opinions] Re: I think I'm going to beat up the next person who says a kid will get beat up for their name.
in reply to a message by Donham
So Kelci isn't being beaten up for his name, but he might get teased. There's a biiig difference to me.
And I still don't think it happens all that frequently, or at least, not with the severity that people seem to imply, where the child is completely miserable and their childhood is ruined.
I'm still sure that the child's attitude is going to play a huge role. Because if I'm a bully, I'm going to pick on Kelci even more if he just gets upset when I call him a girl. If he's like "Haha, yep, whatever bro", I'm probably not going to persist.

Exactly - it's all in the response and attitude that you have. If you wear your name with confidence then I don't think it happens to the same degree.
