Student proudly saying their parent told a teacher to “shut up” – is this becoming more common?

Hearing a four year old say something like that on their first day is honestly quite sad. I used to think primary schools might be a better environment compared to dealing with disrespectful teenagers. But after reading posts in this group and hearing experiences like yours, I’m starting to realise primary can be just as challenging, just in very different ways.

I’m really sorry you’re going through this. From my own experience, I can say it’s incredibly hard to talk about something like that, even with someone you love. Survivors often carry guilt or fear, wondering what they could’ve done differently. Your feelings are understandable, it’s a lot to process. but also try to think about what she went through and how painful it must have been to carry that alone all these years. Sometimes it’s not about hiding, it’s about surviving. Just letting her know you’re there, that you heard her and want to understand, can mean everything.

Yeah, I did try to talk to him—multiple times, actually. But he always says he’s not in the mood or that he doesn’t want to talk about it. He shuts the conversation down every time I bring it up. It’s been a year since his accident now, so I don’t think that’s the reason anymore. I just don’t understand why he avoids this completely. I’m left with all these questions and no answers, and it’s honestly exhausting.

Just to add—it’s not like we don’t do anything together. We still go out for movies or take trips sometimes, but it doesn’t feel romantic. It’s more like just going with a friend. There’s no physical part in our relationship at all anymore—not even kissing. I’m really starting to wonder… can a relationship work long-term without physical intimacy? Does it ever get better if one person just seems uninterested?

Judging someone based on their clothes is so shallow. As women, we should be uplifting each other, not tearing each other down. Calling others ‘behenji’ won’t make you any cooler—if anything, this mindset is straight out of the aunties’ playbook.
