Today, my son told me that some kids had been picking on him at school. When I asked him to elaborate, he said that kids sometimes didn't say "Hi" back when he greeted them. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I bullied a kid at school, just so someone would talk to me. FML
Today, picking up my children from school, I overheard some kids saying what a rotten person their dad was, and how they hated him. It was my kids talking to their friends about me! Why? Because I didn't buy them a bag of jelly beans the day before. FML
Today, I had to tell a parent about her son kicking a boy in his class. She blamed me for not watching him. I wasn't watching him because I was turned around to care for another boy he had hit right before that. FML
Today, my daughter admitted that she doesn’t have any friends at her elementary school. When I asked her why, she said it was because whenever she talks to any of the other kids, she gets punched in the face. FML
Today, I went to see my mother with my kids. Before, I had told my son to give her hugs and kisses and I would buy him candy. He did, but then he told her that I said that. FML
Today, I had to pick my son up from school after he beat the crap out of another student. The words that made him go nuts were apparently, "You mad, bro?" FML
Today, at my work, I was ringing though a kid's purchase. I try to be friendly with the kids and when he handed me his cash I said "Thank you, sir!" in a playful manner. He then turns to his mom and says "Mom, why does everyone think I am a boy?". FML
Today, I was crying after a bad day at work. As I walked down the street, a young boy in a minivan tried to get my attention. He kept saying, "Hi, hi, please wave!" in a sad voice. When I politely waved at him, I saw a group of kids in the van giggling hysterically and taking pictures of me. FML
Today, my 9-year-old son decided honesty is the best policy and to never lie again. And by that, I mean he's decided to go ahead and blurt out every mean comment he can think of. In one school day, he made 6 kids cry, was punched by 4 other kids, was reprimanded by 3 teachers, and was uninvited to a birthday party. FML
Today, while out walking with my son in a stroller, a couple passed by and the girl smiled sweetly at him. It made me really happy, until we'd passed and I heard her say, "What? You're supposed to smile at babies, even if they look weird." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

He's just a sensitive old soul.

I don't understand why this is an FML? Depending on his age he might not understand not everyone in the world is going to be as polite as he is. It's a dark truth most kids don't understand until early adulthood. Also, in my highschool, we had a really annoying girl who would say hi to just about every single person she sees. She got made fun of for it so I'd say tread lightly otherwise it's gonna get much worse for him. Good luck OP

In some cultures, shunning is worse than anything aggressive. I'm sorry your kid is a poor, little shunt.

Sensitive with a bit of hyperbole.

Of course they'll look at him and say "that boy just ain't right." It's because He is in a "Southern State of Mind"

Sometimes being ignored hurts more than being bullied.

Those other students do not deserve to be greeted. Save them for people that matter.

Exclusion / ignoring is a form of bullying, and it's just as hurtful as physical bullying.

Well,it is rude for them not to say anything.

You should be proud that he has manors unlike 90% of his generation. Don't condemn him because he's sensitive, just explain to him that 1) not everyone is going to reciprocate to him. And 2) that doesn't mean he shouldn't still try to acknowledge people and have manors, because his example may encourage others to follow by him. Domino affect.
