[41/f] My son (7/m) got bit by a kid at school and they refuse to do anything about it.

On Friday, my son (7) came home with a serious bruise on his arm. It was swollen, i asked what happened. He told me that on the line for the bus, this kid in his class just bit him. Why? I don't know. He said he's never even talked to that kid. He said he didn't ask for help because you're supposed to be quiet during the bus arrivals.

He just laid down because he said he had a fever. He threw up that night, so i took him to the doctor, and they had to give a shot. I think Tetanus.

My son didn't want to go to school at all this week, he's been pretty upset since. I let him miss the days. I demanded to see the principal and his teacher, they let me have an appointment today. They said they asked some other kids who were there, they backed up his story that my son was just sitting there when the kid chomped him. Some other teachers have noticed a little bit of bullying on the other kid's end. I asked what they'd do about it. The teacher said it would be best to separate them.

They want to move my son into another class. I told them that wasn't gonna work, because he's got a lot of friends in his current class. I asked why they were being so lenient. The Principal butted in and said "David's not like other kids. He lives with his grandma and he's got a rough home life." Then they told me that he has Autism. It wouldn't be fair if they punished him.

This made me so mad, so i decided to press charges against the school, the boy's family, and am suing them for the medical bill and emotional damages.

Tl;dr - Son got bit by a kid at school, i went to the school to complain and they won't do anything about it.

The difference between being right and being understood

My boyfriend and I are 28. We’ve been together for about 1.5 years and recently moved in together. He’s a pretty patient and easygoing person (Type B) whereas I’m more particular (Type A). Of course there are two sides to every trait, and my Type A nature benefits us in some ways too. Like all couples, we have differences in perspective or preference. When this happens, he will usually say something like “I disagree (with your perspective) but fine.” I tend to push the issue in an attempt to get him to understand where I’m coming from. This escalates the disagreement into a fight because he perceives it as me trying to be “right”. I truly just want to be understood (and I want to understand where he’s coming from) so I’m looking for more of a dialogue whereas he avoids conflict and just wants it to be over as quickly as possible. His general approach is “agree to disagree” but that doesn’t make sense to me when it’s an issue that will keep coming up and requires compromise. I’m n...

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

I’ve always been extremely private and introverted. We have more than a year together and we’ve been living together for like 6 months, we get along pretty good and I’m really in love with her, however I can not seem to open up... and I can tell it’s frustrating to her by the way she tells me it bothers her that she feels she’s the only one committed and the one that’s always sharing... At this point I don’t even know if it is that I’ve gotten too used to it, to the point I’ve became lazy to talk about myself or give any genuine personal opinion... it sucks, really, I need to communicate better... Where do I start? Tl;dr: I can’t be completely intimate with my gf and its frustrating her, I need to communicate better because I really love her... where to start?

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.

I met my girlfriend after a few serious breakups that led me to change both intentionally and unintentionally over a few years. For better and for worse. She had just gotten out of an engagement with a verbally and physically abusive man who had a cocaine problem. We have been together about 8 months now. We hit it off and spent a lot of time together but she began to push our relationship as if there were a time clock for milestones. I was pressed beyond my comfort zone and went with it because of my affection for her. My living situation fell apart and I lost a few thousand dollars to shit roommates right around the time she and I met and she offered to let me stay with her. I agreed with some resistance. I pay for food, help her with bills, and throw money toward rent while trying to get back on my feet. As long as we have been together she has gotten more possessive, angry, and irrational. She is dealing with shit from her engagement and I feel shes looking for a level of seriou...
