child being picked on at school what to do?

Answer 1

definitly dont tell the faculty because then your kid will just get picked on forever. its just a phase, everyone gets picked on when their young. i wouldnt worry about it too much, just make sure your child feels loved at home.

Answer 2

You need to talk to the school. Tell them that this is unacceptable to you and you will go to the school board. Every child has a right to be safe in school.

If the child is being picked on while on the school bus, buses in my area have cameras that record activity on the bus. Contact the school bus company and see is you can get a copy of this tape. The bus driver has a responsibility to see that your child is not injured. Note that the bus company can ban any child that does not follow safety rules (you will have to insist) and that child's parents will have to find an alternate way to get them to school.

If the being picked on is physical, you can contact your local police and have them contact the bullies parents. A police jacket can be made concerning this and will follow the bully and will back up any claim if your child needs medical attention.

Also, give you child some self defense tips or lessons. In the case of a boy, if a girl is hitting him, tell him its okay to defend himself. Girls can be brutal.

If you child is young enough and you have the time, make your presence know at school by volunteering. Children are more reluctant to pick on a kid when they know they are being watched.

Answer 3

You can't talk to the bullies parents, that never helps. You can't talk to the bully, because as children, that'll make it worse. You can't have your child starting fights, or teasing back -- this only contributes to the cycle of bullying. The best that I can come up with is being the support for the child being picked on. Talk them through their days, and help them see that this is a childish, stupid act that everyone goes through at one point or another (sometimes over the most trivial things). It will end. I went from being teased for my muscles as a young girl, to being considered attractive and sexy. All things pass.

Ok, here's what you do. Here's my step-by-step.

Are you the child?

1. Grow some balls
2. Whoever picks on you, grab him by the nuts and crush.
(Note: The bully is probably 9yrs old, 11max, so his nuts are probably small like raisins, so it shouldn't be a problem giving them a tug.)
3. Ok, ever heard of 'SHOW TAI'? It's gay. Don't use it. Give him the old elbow into the noggin. Result: broken nose, bloody nose, teary eyes, and on the knees ready to give out a BJ.
4. Appear to be confident and intimidating. Yell at him incoherently and illogically, such as: "SHUT THE HELL UP, CHIP, OR I'LL BE ON YOU LIKE A SPIDER-MONKEY!" Who is chip? What's a spider-monkey? Who cares, but the 11 year old won't know what to do.
5. Run.
6. Feel good about yourself and don't write it in your diary/journal.

This should solve your problem. Your welcome! Always love to help.

Answer 5

Teach the child that he/she is very special and let him/her know that school is only a small part of life and if he/she can get through these tough times of being picked on, then he/she will go very far in life and will know not to treat others in a mean way.

Answer 6

1. Report it immediately to the teacher & school administrator. The bully is interferring with your child's learning, because your child is constantly in fear & can't concentrate.

2. If the school does nothing, notify a social worker. Many bullys are victims of bullying themselves, at home, by a parent, or older sibling. The child may need to be removed from the home for his/her own safety and the safety of other children. You may also contact a lawyer.

3. The bully may also be mentally disturbed, but the parents are in denial. The child may need psyche evaluation. Having the school, or social workers, address the problems to the bully's parents may save everyone from a lot of grief.

Good luck.

Answer 7

Pay for self defense lessons, if that kind of thing doesn't float your boat then talk to the childs teacher and principal and try to narrow it down to exactly is doing the "picking on" and go from there with ways to eliminate it

Answer 8

knowing the age would help me better answer the question, and more details .like for instance is it one..or many people picking on the child..whatever the case maybe you need to bring it to administration's attention ..at the school ..have your child assert herself back, without fear then tell the teacher, because telling your child to not hit back..to me will start a team of classmates hitting them..because everyone will know..he or she doesnt fight back. your child needs to learn self defense. report it and stay with your child on it ..wish you luck.

Answer 9

Well sit down with the child and ask them,, is it because he/she said or did anything that would of made them mad at them... I know that it's not any reason to be picked on but there children.... "Sometimes" for picked on child to coming back and saying to the bully's," that they are not going to lesson to them, because he/she,, has better things to do, them hurt others for fun....Helps ... it kinda shows the bullys that he/she is not going to react in away like them selves... and shows them with there own shame of what there really doing to people.... Hope this helps you hunny.... anger is not the way of it because get worse and they do fight back and loses it,,, they will only tornment them more for being weak...

Answer 10

Two things. First, have the child report the incidents (your question isn't clear on what type of bullying) to school staff. Second, enroll your child in karate class in case the first option doesn't go anywhere.

Answer 11

have a talk with the principal asap. i know a lot of ppl said to ignore it, cause it's a fact of life. these are the same ppl who will wonder what went wrong when ur son has enough and goes columbine on everyone at school. comfort ur child and also do something to stop this bullying. if an adult did it instead of underage kids, that would be called abuse and he would be taken to jail. if it's bad enough to hurt ur kid's feelings then don't ignore it. this is why children grow up to be bitter and resentful because no one took them seriously. don't let this happen to ur child.
