I have twin 12yo boys and 16yo daughter. Twin 1 and daughter are fairly well liked and have a good group of friends. Twin 2 however, has friends but is constantly tormented at school and even at scouts by boys his own age and older. He is a geek but so is his sister, he doesn't like team sports and a lot of the problems seem to stem from the fact that he tries really hard but still isnt very good - people start laughing at him , he gets little support from teachers and leaders whose sole answer seems to be to tell the others to'calm down'. He is sensitive and he realises that his response can make matters worse but I would love to be able to give him some advice on avoiding being a 'victim' in the first place. ( I would never use the word victim to him btw!)
