To be honest, giving the craziest nicknames to your friends adds more fun to the friendship. Owing to my unruly curly hair, my friends used to call me Poodle, and as stupid as it sounds, the names I gave them were more stupid. But what if you get teased with a horrible nickname by your teacher?
This mom speaks about it as her friend who teaches her kid gave him a nickname that he hates, and she teases him even after he protests. As if this is not enough, she even hugs him in the corridors while he tries to wriggle away!
