I have a 12 year old son who is bright, thoughtful and handsome. He is also a very sweet?

Question

-natured kid and he tends to let others bully him. What should I say to him? he is so afraid of getting in trouble by a teacher or the principal, that he doesn't fight back. what is the right thing to tell him here?

Answer 1

Forget that. My dad and mom always told me if someone hits me hit them back. If the kid keeps bullying your son tell him to get his knuckle game ready. Sounds violent but this world ain't flowers and smooth ride.

Answer 2

Teach him that he should stand up for himself. He shouldn't physically fight, but if a kid is going to hurt him badly, he should learn some self defense.You know how 12 year olds can be, so immature. You're lucky to have a good-natured one.  

Answer 3

this what you do buy a paint ball gun go to the bully's house and **** that ***** up if your a nerd that's what you do **** the principal **** the bully yup with paint balls up his ***.

Answer 4

tell him to stand up for him self ONLY if someone is picking on him it is ok it is not wrong or anything

Answer 5

tell him its ok to stand up for him self!

tell him its ok if he does get in trouble for fighting back and tht u wont be mad!

or go straight to the bullys mothers!

Answer 6

People like that really do get to me...

My sister was in the same position as your son... Watched the guy that was doing it, and he always seemed to do it when no one was watching... And without someone to back your son up, the bullys will probably lie their way out if your son physically defends himself...

If i were you, I would contact the school and ask them to keep an eye on your child and tell them the situation. Tell him to ignore the bullys remarks and just make sure he's coping emotionally (helping him build self esteem will help).. Most times bullys are just looking for attention, and if they don't get any, they usually seek another easier target... maybe teaching him the basics of how to self defend in a fight, and telling him how its ok to hurt someone as long as he's not the first to throw a punch??

I don't know the best way for you to handle it... Seeing as it was my sister, I stepped in and beat the guy up... Would rather see my sister happy than sad and depressed... Just don't let it run too long... It sucks how a few people can change someone so easily...

Good luck

Tell your son to keep his head up, he's better than they'll ever be

Answer 7

i was like that

i never wanted to get in trouble

even if it meant getting beat up

but then my parents said

if they start the fight i can end it

so I've never got in a fight

but when a kid tried to bully me

i just pushed her down

and she didn't bother me again

so tell him to stand up for himself

and if they hit him first

he won't be in trouble

by you when he comes home

if he fights back

and gets sent home

Answer 8

im naked on the floor said my answer.

i was always told fight back.

and i live by that

oh...theres also a saying...

peopel who let them selves be bullied are floor tiles lay them good once and you can walk on them for years

basically meaning once a kid has it in their head that they're afraid they will be pushover the rest of their life

Answer 9

In what way are these children bullying him? Mentally or Physically?

Answer 10

Tell him that he doesn't need to fight, but standing up for himself is the right thing to do. Tell him to tell the kid to knock it off and to stop - and then tell him that if the kid doesn't stop when he tells him to, get a teacher.
