Tell that child of yours to literaly walk down the middle of the hallway, walking down the middle shows they have self confidence. And also let him/her know to keep his head up.Keeping his head up shows confidence also.Also let people see him smile! The more self confidence he shows, the more respect he'll get from others.I know from experience this CAN be hard to do at 1st, but once he gets the hang of it, he'll notice a difference!

Kids at private schools are not necessarily nicer. However the staff is usually more hands on and more able to correct bullying situations.
Also, I would do anything that I had to do if I thought my child was being emotionally or physically harmed, even so far as moving my child to a diff school.

If I have a problem with other kids in school I will go to the principal and talk to him/her. They might tell you that with all the kids, it is hard to monitor them, but by law it is their job to keep them safe during school hours. If you know of a problem and have spoken to him, and he hasn't listened, he can be sued for knowing your child was in danger and did nothing to prevent it. Mentioning that might get him to pay attention better. Also you can get the information of the other child's parent's number, and talk to them about the problem. I do think private schools are safer because they are usually stricter. But that may be a little farther than you need to go at first. Try talking to the school first.

No, kids at private schools are no different. I would first talk with the counselor and/or teachers and principal. You can tell them what is going on and ask that your child be seperated from the problem children. You can tell them EXACTLY what is going on and you should be able to persuade them to take the precautionary measures to seperate your child from the bully(ies). I hope this works for you!

Do you know why your child is being harassed? I would speak to the teachers and ask if it's possible to put him or her into another class. If it's really bad, I'd even change schools. Most importantly is to know why, so it can be avoided in the future.
Sometimes the teacher's favorite will be harassed. Sometimes other kids just pick on one, not knowing really why.
Teach your child to stand up for him or herself. Teach him to hold his head up high, and not hide from the conflict. Sometimes just giving them their two cents back will shut the harassers up.

Kids at private schools are RICH!!! Are you rich? I doubt that you are really. I know a girl that went to Private school and she's a snobby bit*ch...I would homeschool my children if after many meetings with various members of the school board, a resolution couldn't be met.

take them to karate classes like my parents did, I was never bullied in school because I was thought to whoever tries to talk you down is showing a lot to who their are. Tell your child to ignore it, the school won't do anything. Tell your child to say this "I would appreciate that you talk to me in a nice manner, and if not then don't say anything at all to me." Tell your child to walk away even if the children start laughing, it'll show your child stood up for himself in the right way not the wrong.

Kids can be brats at any school.
If you're worried about your child, how about martial arts class?
She/he will learn to have self esteem as well as self controll.
And, nothing strange about joining a sports club....

1) Report any abuse to their teacher, principal, & school committee AND put it in writing.
2) If it continues, file a formal complaint of assualt with the police.
