My son a ver sensitive little boy and kids have been picking on him lately at school. Last few years he didn't have problems like this. I am going to the school almost every couple off weeks and talking to the principle teacher, dean and even the parent of a kid that was hitting my son to get them to control the kids.
I am really fed up with those kids and it didn't used to be like this. I am looking into another school for him and I do hate moving him in the middle of the year. He won't be there for sure next year. And when the problem arises it is usually at recess and not in his classroom. The recess is out of control and they even had to stop it for a week.
He has been physically hurt but his feelings are hurt more by them teasing him.
Do yout hink I am being overprotective or am I right to march up there when they act up?
I just don't want him to be too dependent on me to bail him out of all bad circumstances.

I think you should put your boy in martial arts classes. He'll gain confidence, know how to defend himself, learn self-respect and discipline, and also, he'll develop an aura of calm strength that the bullies will feel and avoid.
You're right to want to address this issue, but changing schools and talking to school officials won't teach your boy anything. He needs to learn to feel good about himself, defend himself and know how to handle conflict.

My father told me growing up that when I was in the right he would stand up for me all the way and he did, so yes you are right to help your son. My son is a bully so maybe I can help you.
He saids he picks on kids so they will like him (Yeah) I guess ignoring these kids is not an option. I was picked on in school because i was the only kid that had redhair, it hurt but i think in all it made me a stronger adault and mom would tell me that they were jealous never helped so maybe getting him into a different school might help and but are you teaching him to run from problems.
ask your son what he thinks, how you can help him. And get these kids parents involved!!!!! I was called into school for my son hitting other kids and cops were called and came to my house. It took some time but my son did quit so maybe you need out side help and hopefully these parents will take care of their child. good luck

I'm so sorry. I don't know what's wrong with these kids. They think nothing of picking up sticks, throwing rocks, throwing punches at each other now days. My oldest son gets bullied because of his race and he's a little overweight. It kills me to watch what this abuse does to him. I'm like you. I want to beat those little jerks so bad. I've also gone to the school and the Police officer at the school and it always makes my son feel like if the kids found out it will cause him more problems. Good luck! We're in the same boat unfortunately

I will be honest with you, I always preach use your words not your hands to my children, however if you have been going to the principle, teacher, and parents then you may want to consider teaching you son to stand up for himself a little. Kids can be mean and sometimes when parents interfere ( talking with parents) it can make the problem worse. Maybe its time for your son to hit back. Just make sure it's only done in self defense. Maybe you can teach him how to talk back if they are hurting his feelings. It may make him feel more confident.

I completely believe in what you are doing! You have a right to take control of the situation and notify someone of what is going on. You should do whatever is possible to have your child get the best education possible, but your son is also going to have to learn how to handle it on his own. I don't know how old your son is, but if he is too young to handle it you are doing the right thing.

you are doing the right thing. taking him out of his school in the middle of the year is fine...he'd probably appreciate a chance to start all over and to meet new people. it will be easy for him to make friends at his new school because everyone is curious about the new kid. he'd be the center of attention. try it out, anything could be better than where he is now.

You have every right to protect your family. I think you should Definitly move him out of that environment. Teasing is one thing, but when they start being physical and the school does nothing.... that is SO MUCH more. Good luck

any good mother is going to want to prtect their kid. you are doing the right thing. if no action is coming out of it then i would try homeschooling him if possible i was homeschooled through highschool because i had my son in 8th grade and i enjoyed it. they have get togethers for the homeschooled kids too so they can participate in activities too.

depends on how old he is. if you enroll him in a martial arts class with a good teacher, he can learn self-esteem, group participation, and physical fitness. Even better, he can make friends in the class who will beat the S---t out of any one who messes with him.
