My 7th grade son is 12 years old and was doing fine in school until recently. He told me a boy in his PE class has been asking for money and giving him 'deadleg' which I guess are strong punches.
I went thru my son's myspace email and found out 2 boys have been bullying him for money and will not stop or they will jump him. He seems scared of these boys and fears if he tells the counselor, they will really hurt him.
What should I do??

My kids are bullied and harrased at school as well. Each time I contact the school and report it as well as encouraging and comforting my kids.
This kind of behavior has been going on in this school since my kids started (6 long years ago).
Well, low and behold, the district in now implementing a zero tolerence to bullying policy because enough parents cared enough to call it to their attention.
I understand your concerns very well and know how it is to fear for your child's safety. However, if you really want to make a difference, report it and demand that the administration address the bullying issue which is a nationwide issue in our schools.
If these other children are determined to hurt your child you need to tell the school this. Also let them know that the bullying is invading his out of school hours (His myspace account) and provide them with a print out of the threats that are being made against him. This incriminates them and any further retalitory actions they take will be seen as such.
Don't be shy about reporting any physical abuse or taking of money to the police. Give these "bullies" (and their parents) the message that what they are doing is wrong.
I know you're afraid for your child, but ignoring this problem won't make it go away.

Report this bahavior to the school principal ASAP After you do and if it happens again legal action against the other pupil and /or the school system must be taken. Remember be firm,civil and document everything. If the pupil and the school admin's see that you will have a 0 tolerance for this behavior it should stop.

Hey this is cool. I am 12 and i 7th grade too so i can relate. last year i was labeled as a geek so i would bully alittle. Never let him not go to school because he is scared. That makes bullies know he is afraid. DON'T let him bully back. try talking to the teacher so they can keep an eye on the bully and your son. if that doesn't work try asking if he can switch periods and avoid the bully. let his friends in on this and ask them to stick up for him. i would if i knew him!

You go to the school with your son and tell the school counselor AND administration. What they are doing is against ALL school policies and may be against the law as well. Your son does NOT deserve the treatment. Your only other option is to pull him out of this school and move him to another (which I do NOT recommend).

college females could be advise. From my adventure, human beings do no longer oftentimes get this lots hatred over something as petty as a small argument with one individual although. the two that female has a brilliant effect over the completed classification, or the completed classification desperate to be advise on their very own. i think of the latter is extra in all probability. And whilst that happens, it relatively is often when you consider which you're doing something that annoys human beings. i do no longer decide for to be advise, yet I even have had some human beings via out college or perhaps college who have been laid low with way of all of us and could no longer understand why. As a 0.33 occasion, it replaced into consistently sparkling to me why. some human beings do issues that annoy others. it must be which you're impolite (even although you do no longer advise to be), or it must be which you opt for to act like a clever *** (even although all you attempt to do is proportion interesting expertise)... it must be distinctive different issues it relatively is with regards on your character. My suggestion could be to ask people who're on the edge of your (terrific acquaintances and kinfolk) what they locate stressful approximately you. that's going to truly harm you, besides the shown fact that it ought to help you interior the long-term. because of fact each so often, we tend to be blind to our strikes. If the respond is something which you're feeling isn't well worth changing for others, then do no longer. yet pay attention with an open heart, take effective criticism for the extra suitable. stable success!

Report them to the school and to the police! Bullying can do life long damage and lead to a whole host of problems. The problem is a 3 part issue......the bully the victim and the bystander, they all need help !
