mom4 / wrestlingparents I was not singling your kids out to be bad. Just stating that when a parent make suggestions why when "Little Johnny" gets his feelings hurt, that its unfair, and how others will react when fingers are pointed. I believe the one kid we are talking about is ranked #1 in 6A and if so, I of all people applaude him for his great efforts, and anyone who does't is just plan childish. My son also as a freshman wrestled varsity. Keep in mind that in wrestling one earns his spot no ass kissing, or brown nosing puts you on the A team hard work and dedication earns it.(Unless no one else is there to wrestle off), and most coaches I know put the team on the feild to make themselves look good, and don't care about age or grade. Life will be full of people who think people advance from sucking up. But I don't think its a good idea that when your child gets his feelings hurt, that mommy tries to take on the world. And allot of it has to do with the way your child carries himself also, but if kids say things, and they seeing its having a effect and bothers your son, it will only get worse. But keep in mind also none of us as parents see everything our kids are doing when out of our sight.
