    Being ostracized

    I've already felt it. Rant ON!

    I haven't advertised my refusal to be vaxxed but people have figured it out. I find it insane that we've normalized people asking each other about their health and vaccine status.


    I started this thread because my 13 year old told me this morning that people at school are treating her differently and former friends are ignoring her because she's not vaxxed. The world has gone completely insane.


    I asked her how do they know that she isn't vaxxed. She said they ask her. SMFH. I told her not to talk about it and she said she can't avoid it.


    She's 13! Aside from my general opposition the only vax for 13 year old's is Felony Pfizer and that's not happening. That is a company that I wouldn't trust to make toilet paper. She is so upset that she said she wanted to vax to keep her friends. I told her she needed better friends.


    I asked her why her peers care that she isn't vaxxed? She said because they are worried about getting sick. I said aren't they vaxxed? WTH? Young, healthy, and vaxxed...


    One of her friends has a mom that is the fattest women I've ever known. She is insanely fat. I mean 300 pounds fat and short too like 5'2". This person is so worried about their health because of COVID but is more likely to have a heart attack at 45 because they weigh 300 pounds. GTFOH with that. This is the parents' fault. They are creating this division and I hate them for it. I don't know what the answer is other than move to a place with a better class of people. I want to do it but not sure how to make it happen.


    I'm done ranting for now.

    Newsome, Biden, Arnold, and Mitt all nationally encourage shaming. They personally shame on national tv.
    Just as many on this forum whose family members shun them for not being vaxed.

    But you are correct.. She needs new friends. Back in the day how did we deal with bullying at 13?

      Usually the school would deal with it but they've created a system that creates and encourages bullying

        Just like a rubber band stretched too thin - the universe has a way of righting itself.

        The tension is always highest just before the snap (or snap back). Shame that your daughter (or any kid) has to deal with this crap on top of simply being a teenager nowadays.

        Silver lining will be she is getting a Jr. college education in social sciences from these interactions. As we told our kids as they went through HS - wait about 1 year afterwards to see how much of the drama really affected you post-graduation. Though its hard for the young ones to see most times.

          Feel your pain OP ... my 14 year old missed out on her first bday party few weeks ago because she isn't vaxxed. Most of those in attendance have been friends since kinder- 1st grade so you can imagine her disappointment.

          After being enraged every time the subject came up, I had to sit back and applaud her steadfastness though .... she never once complained about our stance on the vax, never once second guessed why we won't get it, never sulked, etc.

          Don't forget to encourage her strength!

            Well she wants to give in. And she is certainly in that teenage phase where I am the dumbest person on earth.

              Thank God my daughter isn't dealing with this crap yet. As a freshman she's busy with school, golf team, etc with no issues so far. I think most of her friends and their families know we aren't getting jabbed. She's been invited to parties and I've had parents ask my wife and I to haul their kids to events. Hopefully your daughter can find new friends through clubs, sports, etc.

                One positive is that your daughter finds it hard to lie to her friends. Honesty is a very honorable trait.
                Try to keep in mind the conflict she is going through, lie to my friends or disappoint my dad, it's got to be tough for her.

                Best on dealing with this BS situation Tiger.

                  I dealt with this with coworkers back when jabs were first coming available. Taunting that I don't believe in science and threw on a side comment of "what's next believing the election was rigged" even though I have neve mentioned my political views.
                  "The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia." -George Orwell 1984

                  1984 was supposed to be a warning, not a "How To" guide.

                    Where do the kids get it from? Their parents and teachers.

                    Keep teaching your children right and to think for themselves, and to not capitulate to peer pressure.

                      Tell your kid to ask her friends who inquire about her vax status if they're on birth control or sexually active.

                      just kidding....


                      not really....

                        Let her know that this is a good example of who is a true friend and who is only an expedient friend. Also let her know that when they grow up there's a good possibility they are going to be jealous and envious of her because the vaccine is causing women to have issues with their menstrual cycle. They might have problems having babies because of the vaccine.

                            Yup, good time to explore the concept of peer pressure and the tools of coercion.

                              OP just tell your daughter she's based and should be proud of that. I have no idea what "based" is but I'm sure she will.
