No idea where to start with name-calling.
"The professor" was kinda annoying.
Advice for parents? Accept your kids as they are.
Often called professor or 'doc' when younger. Now called strange or odd. I liked professor.
Advice for parents? Make home a safe place, where everything is believed. I never had to lie to say how horrible things were for me. Still, I was not believed or listened to so I developed my own nicknames which I never told anyone. They were "loser" and "reject 1"
I wish my mother had not told me it was my fault I was treated badly. I wish my mother had told me before I became an adult that she thought I was a genius.
My home is a safe place now.
