All the answers are so good---I also tell my kids that the BULLY is just jelous that you have something they dont--Like a loving family or new shoes and to ignore them but like said before if they lay a hand on you DEFEND yourself---I dont want my kids going around fighting but I also want them to stick up for themeselves---And they need to know you back them up 110%

Well, I know that this is going to get bad ratings but here goes... Everytime the bully does something nasty, find out where they live, then wait for mum or dad (usually there isn't one) to come home from work/whatever (when it's dark preferably). Then get hold of them and kick the shiit out of them Hold the person's face up real close to yours and tell them "Every time 'bully' so much as LOOKS at my kid, god help if they DO anything, I/my mates will endeavour to follow you, wherever you go and do this EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Believe me, the bully's parents WILL put a stop to it, GUARANTEED.
It's a last resort, and pretty extreme but I'd rather do that than find my kid has hanged themselves because they can't take it anymore.

Report the bullying to the school officials of your child's school. Schools are supposed to have anti-bullying programs to help kids who are being harrassed. There was a case in CT where an 11 or 12 y.o. boy killed himself rather than go to school and be bullied any more. It's just one of the publized examples of why schools are supposed to have plans to handle bullying situations. You should also attempt to talk to the parents of the bully, too.

I would go to the school if that is where the bullying is taking place and demand a meeting with the parents and the bully and the principle and of course my child. I would let everyone know that "I will press charges if this is not resolved here and now!"

No matter what??Sounds like you have exhausted talking,ignoring and avoiding. If the kids have tried all of this and it keeps up, you as the adult have to contact authority; re be it teachers principal or school board! If not the case go to police. If you are dealing w/ older kids I always make sure the disorderly kid sees my presence so that my kid is not the one done the reporting!!!

plant a hidden video cam.. get video of the bullying... go to police.
Get a no-contact order. Then if the bully continues... jail.
If the school or parents of the bully don't like it... too bad. They should have handled it before the cops became necessary.

I tell them to stand up for themselves. My rule is to never start a fight, but, once someone lays a hand on you, defend yourself. Most bullies back down once someone stands up to them. If the kids are really scared, get them in karate or something.

my son has a hard time sticking up for himself and it is so frustrating and makes me so angry when he comes home from school with marks on his body. he tells me it's from playing at recess, but I called the principal one day and all he said was to have my son stay away from the other kid at school. I was so upset.
so... I told my son that if anyone is bothering him to tell them to leave him alone. and if they lay one hand on him, i told him that it is fair game to lay a hand on them back. i know a lot of parents don't agree with that, but i was so done with my son coming home with marks on his body. i explained to him the 3 steps to take.
1. tell the bully to leave you alone and walk away.
2. if the bully isn't leaving you alone, tell an adult nearby.
3. if the bully is still bothering you and the adult isn't helping, then give one good punch and that's it. but only if the bully lays a hand on you.
my son hasn't come home at all this school year with marks on his body. and i told him that if he gets in trouble at school for fighting, then take his time out at school (they have the kids sit on the wall during recess as punishment) and i will deal with it when i pick him up from school.

I haven't had to face that problem yet, but I'm expecting to. My son started school this year and is very small for his age. I've told him to tell the teachers, and If it still was to continue, I guess I would confront the child myself
