How can I get it to stop, whenever he talks to the teachers they just think he is play fighting and it is affecting him, what can I do. We've talked to the teachers numerous times.

Your parents or even you need to suggest taking this to a higher level, bypass the teacher and go straight to the principal, if this doesn't work, then you need to bring it to the attention of the school board. In today's society most schools have the "no hand ons" rule and if the school itself isn't doing anything about the bullying factor they you need to bring it to the attention of people that will listen. My son was a victim of bullying for several years, he was suspended several times for fighting but nobody was willing to look at why it was happening, just blamed him and called him a hothead with a short fuse. I finally went directly to the school board who did an investigation with the school and the principal and it was discovered that my son was indeed a victim and he was defending himself, and they finally started taking action against the bullies.
Good luck....from personal experience this is no picnic and it might even get worse until it gets better, but once you involved people at the higher level he will become protected.

Hi
I can't add anything, except to confirm what a few others have said
If the bullying is at school, then you should go straight to the head teacher, explain that you have already tried talking to teachers without any action/success and that if the matter continues you will be forced to take the matter to the educational authorities (teachers have a statutory obligation to act on "complaints") or to the police
please don't "let it go"
if the bullying is outside the school too, then you'll have to go down another road
good luck

Write a letter to the principal indicating that you have brought this matter to the attention of school representatives, and if your brother gets hurt either emotionally or physically, the school district will be liable.
Get your brother to hang out with more friends. Invite them over on weekends, and then have them hang as a group at school.
Get your brother some martial arts lessons, but make sure that once he gets stronger, to not start being a bully himself. Krav Maga is good because you can learn faster than other martial arts.
I was bullied when I was a kid, but now I am a very big muscular guy, and nobody even dares look twice at me. Let him know it will pass.

I was bullied at school. My big sister had a friend who became "My big cousin". He was respected in the whole scholl & had a repuitation for knowing how to handle himself. The thought that I was related to this guy did deter the bulling, but not altogether. Although they say you must tell the teacher, as you pointed out does not always go in your favour. Do some digging yourself & find out who the culprits are. You may be able to get someone unrelated to the situation to have a few words. By that I DON'T mean return the bullying favour, but to warn them off somehow.

Try taking the school to court. Every kid has a right to safety. I was bullied for two years straight a few years ago(yes I'm still in highschool!), and my parents were considering sueing the school, because the teachers refused to step in and take action. Goodluck!
Also try keeping a diary on all the things that happen, with dates and details, so you can back up your claims. I wish I had done this! I could have sued for millions!

ok I have had the same pproblem with teachers and having my children tell them they are being bullied. And nothing seems to wake these teachers up!! So my solutionn to this was I allowed my son to rebel against the bully. In Canada there is a "hands off policy" in the schools but it doesn't seem to work. So my boys now know that if they are being bullied and or someone hits them they are not longer allowed to be pushed into a corner and be afraid, REBEL and the bully does not feel that he can any longer control them. Im not saying to hurt the bully but he needs to know this is not right and kids don't need to put up with their crap!!

What's with all the violence, it reflects in what they learn about how to deal with a situation in the future....yet we all want to stop war!
Talk to your parents or an aunt or uncle, get them to help you bring this to the teacher and the principal and further on up to the school board and the local government rep.
However I am sure your situation will be resolved by the teacher and principal in company with your parents.

How old are you? If you are 17 or 18, you may be able to hold some water. If not, you need an adult fighting this battle. A letter needs to be written and given to the principle. Let him/her know that you'll go to the school board if this is not resolved. If you need to get nasty, call the press!!!

doing anything to the bullies is just being as bad as they are! You need to see he head of the school and tell them that if something isn't done you will report the school & take your brother out of school, contact your local council to make a complaint against the school and try to get him into another school elsewhere, sending him back to the same school won't help much I don't think.
Give him lots of love and let him know your supporting him. Hope he's ok.

If he is little enough and his friends are little then threaten them. When I was a kid I was bullied so I bullied a girl at another school I passed on the way home. It lasted one week. Then her brother showed up and scared the **** out of me. It taught me a lesson I'll never forget.
