Changing schools sounds like a good idea....except then he'd be the new kid and have a whole new set of problems. You don't go into details about the difficulties he faced before or exactly what or how long he has been picked on, but I would definitely monitor the situation to assess if he is in any danger or if it is just mild manner teasing that will subside given the next kid drama. I'd resort to changing school only if he is actually in real danger...only because you don't want him thinking that running away from your problems and adversity is a solution.

I went thru a similar problem with my son a few yrs. back and changing schools wasn't an option because of where we live - school officials will listen and say they'll take care of it, but they usually aggravate the situation - assuming they do anything at all
If you can put your son in another school and you think this will solve the problem - I think you should seriously consider doing it

When you say "half the school" are you exaggerating? If not, then yes this is a problem. Have you tried talking to school officials? I would try this first and see if anything changes. If not then you may have to look for a different school if others are interfering.

Half the school? Yes, somewhere where he can forget this incident. When high school students (I am one myself) find someone to gang up on for any reason that others think is horrible (they usually blow this out of proportion for the thrill of it and popularity) it becomes addictive to pick on that inpaticular kid. Things spread fast in high schools. He'll commit sue aside if he's stupid enough, that's not a fact, but it seems like a reality.
Good luck.

If you feel that your son is in an unsafe or emotionally stressful environment and there is another school that he could transfer to, then I would say yes, move him to a different school. Make sure that school officials know what has been happening to your son - it is their job to keep the students safe and they should be made aware of all situations of bullying.

I would let him change schools!! If he can't feel safe in the school he is in now, nothing will get accomplished, you can't concentrate on the things that are important if you are worried constantly about who is going to cause you problems next!! Give him a chance with a fresh start!!

I think that its probably a good idea. If he's really having that much of a bullying problem, then he definitely needs to make a change. At this point he is probably a sophomore or a junior and he doesn't have too much longer to go, but just to be safe, switching seems like a good idea.

Yes, let him change schools. School is supposed to be a great time in your life, but if you have to go to school every day worrying about getting bullied or worse, than it can really make a teen's life miserable. It can also affect your son's schoolwork. I am glad you are taking this seriously though. Lots of parents just think their kids are being dramatic when they try to talk to them about their problems. We adults tend to tell kids that they can talk to us about anything, but then don't really listen to them when they do. You are a good dad. : )

If going to the school and trying to get it worked out that way,and the school has done nothing to try to solve the problem then yes, I would have him change schools. Sorry you and your family have to go through this, I hope it all works out ok.

well i dont know what the problem is, but kids always fined a good reason not to like others.what good will it do for him to change schools,all you teachin him is to run from his problems.put him in boxing to teach him how to fight and let him know that if he sticks to him self everything will be ok.but if it comes down that you have to change his school then let him know that he needs to lay low and not to put him self out there.and if he makes friends he needs to make shore there a good group not the bad group of the school..
