My son is having problems with bully's in school, is there any information on how to handle them?

Answer 1

How old is your son? Telling him to ignore it doesn't help. Try talking to the teacher and/or the principal. In my experience, talking to the parents of the bullies doesn't help. They will just defend their kids and think they are little angels. Another thing you could do is enroll your son in a martial arts course. The point of learning a martial art isn't to learn how to beat people up. It gives a child more confidence and self esteem. Kids who have those 2 things are less likely to become a victim of bullying. I took Tae Kwon Do when I was a teen and it did wonders for me. Maybe that would help your son, too. Good luck!

Answer 2

Our son is now 11yrs old. He has been dealing with a bully since last year. Because the 5th grade in our district is in the middle school building, we now have a different principle to deal with. Here's what we did.
Last year we tried talking to the teacher, advising him to ignore it,etc. This approach did not work. Ignoring a bully only makes them angry & there are usually consequences. We finally ended up telling the principle that we were going to the police dept to file charges if she could not handle this situation. That worked last year.

This year the bully tried again to terrorize our son. The principle at the middle school made it very clear to him that he would be advising us to file police charges & that the school would back us up. Scared the hell out of this kid & our son has been fine since. So has everyone else that was being bullied. The kid either finally "got it" or his parents understand that we aren't taking it anymore. It's our job to protect our kids any way that we can. Good luck

Answer 3

I had a problem with a bully. This is how I ended up handling it: I waited for the bully to pick on me, which he did by flicking my ear in the lunch line, I just turned around and punched him. I know it was the wrong thing to do, but it showed him (and everyone else in the lunch room) that I wasn't going to take any crap from him or anyone else. From that day forward for the rest of my schooling, I never had a problem with anyone. Again, it worked for me. It may or may not work for your son. I hope it helps.

Answer 4

Speak to the teacher and possibely the parents and just coach your child as much as possible to stay calma nd look unbothered by it. Whoever you speak to about it just be nice and pleasant and talk like you would like a solution from them instead of blaming them or being angry with them.
Maybe even you could have the kid over and they can become friends.

Answer 5

Try getting somone who spend allthere time trying to stop buling to talk to the schooll ( try nateterrell (that is his screen name) he does that same thing).
