What should I do if I am being bullied in school?

MY SON IS GETTING BULLIED AT SCHOOL THE SCHOOL HAS DONE LlTTLE TO HELP WHAT CAN I DO?

  • there are 2 boys in his class who constantly beat him up and tease him about his weight {hes a bit overweight and a type 1 diabetic}hes very shy and quiet and we've been down to the school many times over this and they promise to sort it but all thats ever given to these cowardly bullies is a verbal warning and it starts all over again,i wanted to take him out of the school last year over this but he became very upset at the thought of leaving the few friends he has made, we have even confronted these boys parents over this but it ended in a slanging match after they refused to believe their boys were like this, ive just got home from work to see yet another bruise on my sons face after he was attacked, im at my wits end and feel like going down to the school and knocking 7 bells out of these boys myself, have u any advise you can offer me, it'd be nice to hear from someone who has been through this before or who works in a school. thanks

  • Answer:

    Try getting your little guy to sign up for some Karate lessons.. If nobody else wants to help you out, teach him to defend himself. It might take a while, but eventually one of the bullys will get the asskicking they so richly deserve. :-)

Why don't you think about taking him to join a Boxing club this will give him self respect not to mention after a while he will be more than capable of looking after himself. Although violence is not always the best answer if he turned round and gave them a taste of there own medicine I'm sure things would get better. :) Good luck :)

My grandson was being bullied by a boy in the grade above him. My grandson tried to tell a teacher and the teacher wouldn't listen, just told my grandson not to be a tattle-tale. The problem continued and my grandson told the principal and his advice was to avoid the bully. So finally we talked to my grandson and said that even though we didn't condone fighting, sometimes you have to defend yourself. We discussed whether it would be worth getting into trouble with the office if he did fight back. We decided it was worth the consequences. We described what should be done and how to do it. At the next bullying incident, my grandson popped the bully in the nose just once. It shocked the bully so much that the bullying stopped. I don't know if that would work for your son or not. My grandson is very non-aggressive but he had reached his breaking point with the situation.

The school won't do nothing. I hate to say this but he needs to toughen up and fight back. Make him stand his ground. He will get respect then! Also, don't involved or he will be bullied more!

I had the same problem with my son. The school was useless and did nothing. The parents were just as bad as there unruly child. It went on for months. I, like you wanted to go to school and take care of those boys myself but that cant happen! My son would not take up for himself cause he is a shy, quiet, layed back kid. I had to do something I never saw myself doing as a parent. My son that had this problem, has an older brother, my other child. He goes to the high school though. I told my high school aged child to walk and get my middle schooler after school. I told him to wait there until he seen the boys walk home from school and follow them. I had him pull them to the side and tell them, your bigger than my brother, well im bigger than you. You touch my brother 1 more time and im going to touch you!!! It worked!!!! If he does not have a older sibling, then maybe a neighbor friend, a cousin.

document his bruises,send certified letter to school with your concerns.notes on calls to school and whom you spoke with.look up state laws about bullying,your districts school board .attend P.T.A. and bring up the question. make it a general question of concern so it won't get out of control.see what school officials say when in front of auditorium full of other parents (whom other parents may be there ,who have had problems with the same kids) seems like things could get really out of hand quickly.if these kids are shown they can't get away with it.but,try to keep from having slinging matches with anyone. you don't want to be viewed as "unstable"or out of control.once that try and stick that label on you.it will only prolong getting help for your son.and show him how to deal with it at any school he may attend.I sorry he's going through this!

My son was going through a stage of getting bullied. If you have asked the school to do something about it, and they haven't then you could write a letter to the board of governers of the school. This means that you are going above the head teacher. If this doesn't resolve any issues then you could threaten the head with getting the local education authourity involved. Ask to see if they have an anti bullying policy in the school and check what that states.

report the head teacher to the exudation in your town. if that they dont do anything. but belive they will. phone the police. please dont take the law into your own hands. as it will be you that will be in trouble. i hope you get this sorted soon
