It would kill me if my child was being bullied because I was bullied as a kid, and I know what it's like.

I was bullied a little bit as a teenager. If I do have children in the future and they are bullied, I'd have a talk with the school and tell them what's going on. Maybe they could contact the parents. When that happend to me, me and the bully were both suspended for fighting in the locker room. Oh well, glad that was six years ago from now. :-)
And I don't think it's right for people when they say: "kids will be kids..." I heard that some people say that.

Yes, of course, it hurts to think your child is being tormented or picked on by another child. but it also makes me more angry, because, I think to my self, where is the teacher at, and/or the school staff when this is happening? I also wonder what kind of parent's this child has, and what it is in his or her life that is making him or her behave like this, as this is always a cry for help, and stems from worse problems, like abuse. I would definitely make the teacher or any other adults where the bullying took place at, aware what was going on, because most of the time, you only hear half of what really happened, and it is usually, it is worse than the childs lets on, due to embarrassment or fear that the parent will say something, and then the bullying will get worse.

Yes & it hurts me to know other children are being bullied. There is a little girl at my daughter's school who lost an eye when she was 3yrs due to cancer. She has a glass eye now. She is in first grade & wants to quit school because of all the mean things kids say to her & about her. Things such as calling her "One Eye" & saying she's fulI of cancer.
Even though these words cannot be taken back, I am so grateful that my daughter defends her. I think that a child standing up for another child softens the wounds in a way us parents aren't able to. (My girl is in 6th grade)
I am ashamed that when I was in 6th grade, I made fun of a boy to the point that he left my school. It hurts me deeply that I could ever have been so cruel. I regret it so much. I would love to tell him how truly sorry I am. I don't know how to find him or I would. Dwayne, if it's God's will that you read this, please forgive me.

OMG, it hurts SO bad!!! My son has kind of been socially odd since he started Kindergarten...he was in a preschool/daycare for 3 years prior and never had any problems...in fact he was popular. As soon as he started K, he went into a shell and almost acted like he forgot how to behave in social situations and became very shy in group settings. One on one he is fine. He's now in 4th grade and is just now getting better. But, even all summer he was picked on by neighbors that live 2 houses over and it was HELL for me. I SO badly wanted to kick these kids asses. I did yell at them once but, they in turn picked on him more after I approached them. It got so bad that I saw one of the kids repetitively spitting on my son. It took all I had to not beat the crap out of that kid! They have since become 'friends' but, I still harbour bad feelings for him since I know what he is capable of!

yes it does hurt. there is nothing nice about someone who is bullied, it is abuse in its own way.
i have been through it myself, and I never told my parents because I was too embarassed.
I wanted to try and solve the problem myself and I didn't know how. I hope you have better luck than I did.

It makes me want to beat the crap out of the kid who was doing the bullying, so that he/she will understand what it feels like!

It ripped my heart out. When I found out, I enrolled my boys in karate. Karate gave them the tools AND the confidence to walk away whenever possible. When it wasn't possible, they were able to handle the situation without either party getting injured. Now my boys are brown belts (one belt away from being black belts) and in high school. And I can honestly say that I HAVE NO WORRIES!!
