That's true you are right, but sometimes if you instill in them what is important and what is not at an early age, they are more likely to take that into their teens. Their personality may make it hard, but they know from you have taught them at an early age that it is just simply not important what other people say about you. I guess you can never tell what they will think when they get older though can you? haha..

I think you are right but as you said you are a parent and it does not matter what they think but the quilty of their life. I am sure you might have a different outlook in 8 or 10 years and it is your BOY that is being bashed on this site. No matter if he laughs at it and it TRUELY does not bother him, I PROMISE you it will not be funny to you no matter how HARD you think you are.
