my son has been picked on at school by teachers and students since the first day of grade one (which was only last year), he had one child in grade 6 urinate in his water bottle, three boys bully him for his lunch money, a teacher shake him for dobbing! and now that im fed up with the lot of them i have told my son to unleash, speak his mind do unto those as the do unto him, and at the same time stay strong, think smart an at all times be respectfull!! i have 6 children, he is my second eldest (oldest boy) but because my children are half cast (im white and dads aboriginal) and my son is lighter in colour then my other children he is out casted, yet my daughter who at the same school and has the same parents, is very popular and loved.
i just dont get this at all or why my son has to suffer because of others iggnorance at such a young age
what can i do with out telling my son to be violent, and before i go back to my old ways and use it again myself??

don't have him stoop to their level. go to the principal, that teacher should be fired. if the principal won't help, go to the superintendent, and if you still don't get the help you need, seek legal counsel. no child should have to endure such teasing and harassment if especially from a teacher!!!

It's a shame that children, young as they are, act the way they do, by judging a person on the basis of their color. Understand, that is something they have learned, either by others or by their parents. Children can be very cruel to other children and they are especially so to children who are not what you might call "popular".
I was one of the "unpopular" children in school and was picked on constantly. Many times I would play "sick" just to go home and get away from all the "bullies" at school.
What really makes me mad though is when teachers chime right on in with the students and pick on a child.
I'm sure there is something you can do about this. Especially if others are urinating in his water. All of this is called harrassment and can be reported to the local authorities.
I would also organize a meeting with school officials and give them a piece of your mind and ask them just what they intend to do about the problem.
But, please, don't resort to any type of violence to try and settle the matters. I would rather you take your son out of that school and place him somewhere else than teach him to retaliate and sink to the level of those other bullies and teachers.

Go to the school district involve the police. Urinating in is water bottle is crime and they should be punished and don't have the step to there level at all go the school district's office and complain go to the police department and if that isn't good enough contact the paper or TV station or just take him out of the school and transfer him to another but make sure your voices are heard

How is your son treating them now? If he's being the best person he can be and not doing anything to get "bullied" then you need to take this up with the principal, and if that doesn't work, the school board.
Explain to the school that he should be wanting to go to school at this age, and the harrassment is making it so that he hates school altogether and you don't want that to be his first experience!

being violent isn't a good thing thats true but he shouldn't just let pepole do that to him either he should fight back and his sister should stick up for him. I think you had the right to tell him to fight back and if it keeps on call the school board or you can always homeschool him. I was picked on alot when I went though public school and I was always to nice to do anything even when my mom told me I could until the 5th gread when I walked out of the class room and went to the princeables office but my mom pulled me out and is now homeschooling me it's great!

don't let ur child become violent at a young age it will become uncontrollable later, enforce that he stands up for himself. go to the principle and if within one week things dont change go directly to the board of education. stand ur ground. ur child should not be treated this way or it may effect him more in the long run..
beat the 6 graders ***
