Lily will probably get bullied in school, kids are shitty and go after those who don't fit the "norm" both aesthetically and socially.workinprogress wrote:I don't think anyone is saying "there's no way she's being bullied", it's more so that Vanessa is a mess. I wouldn't put it past her to be one of those moms that causes problems with the school district. My mom is a special ed teacher for elementary school kids, and I've heard SO MANY stories about moms crying wolf about their kids in situations like Lily's. I've also heard of moms saying their kid is being bullied, but it's because that kid is rude to others and the mom doesn't believe it because their kid is "so shy at home". It's very possible, sadly, that Lily would be an easy target for bullying like you said, so it's definitely a big possibility for her. However, I wouldn't doubt that she causes some issues in school (as a lot of little kids do, it happens frequently), or Vanessa causes problems. I hope that she isn't truly experiencing bullying though!1979 wrote:I find it funny that so many people doubt the possibility that Lily is being bullied. Often times kids will pick the weakest child and harass them, that is the nature of bullying. Watching Lily I would have no doubt that she would have difficulty sticking up for herself with her language and social delays. I am currently working with a child that is on his third school because of bullying. This child is quirky and a little different and that is all it takes for people to make fun of him. He is constantly called "gay" and a variety of other things just because he is more sensitive and has different tastes than the other boys. With Lily's difficulties and shyness it really isn't a stretch to see that she would be targeted. Also, bullying happens all the time in younger grades.

BUT we do we on SC and in vlogs how Lily has to fight for her Mom's attention, so I don't think it would be a huge stretch to say she might act out a bit in school to get attention from her peers and teacher, whether it's negative or positive attention.
