Can you help with this fifth grade social etiquette problem?

Asked by wundayatta (58722points) February 21st, 2011

My son has been invited to one of his classmates houses for dinner. He doesn’t want to go because he doesn’t want to have to deal with the grilling he will get from the girls in the class and the teasing he will get from the boys. Or vice versa.

He’s somewhat sensitive. He refuses to ever get a haircut because all the boys tease others who got a haircut. Thus, he looks like Justin Bieber—at least, in terms of hair.

He wants to decline the invitation in such a way that he will not get any further invitations and he will not hurt her feelings. What can he say?
