My son 11 is being is being bullied at school?

Question

hes small for his age and does fight back and yes i have been in touch with the school.

Answer 1

have a word with his parents, nicely as possibly though. In most cases, parents fall out over there kids fallouts but then a week later the kids are friends again but parents still hold a grudge with each other.

If that doesnt work and the teachers cant stop the bullying, could the police help or local MP. Might beable to get kid taken out of the school your son goes too.

Answer 2

WHat is the question? If youve gone to the school thats all you can do, if it doesnt get enforced then you need to go in again. If there are no changes then move school or get in contact with the bullies parents.

Answer 3

Unfortunately we live in a world where kids are placed in a box, usually by other children.  I have an 8 year old and he is different from other boys his age.  He does not play sports, but piano and loves to draw and write stories.  He was bullied so bad last year, the kids would call him weirdo and say hateful things to him.  I complained to the school.  It was a christian school and one that I paid good money too and was a busy member of the church.  The squeaky wheel gets the oil however.  Remember this, your son will always have to deal with bullies, are world is full of them, even as adults we deal with them.  It is hard watching them fo through being hurt, but you must teach your son that there is nothing wrong with him.  The kids hurting him are the ones with the problem.  Help him be secure in himself.  There are a lot worse things you can be than little, (like being a bully! )  A new school year will be coming up in a little while.  Let the new teacher know, that you have had bully problems and you will not tolerate your son being hurt.  I laid it out this year to his teacher (respectfully) and have had no problems since.  Plus my son is more positive.  As a parent it is a battle, but you are your sons best cheer leader.  Praise him as much as you can.

Answer 4

Talk to the bully's parents nicely. Try to talk to the bully nicely as well.

Answer 5

i wud say dont get more involved gthan u already have, it will just embarres the poor boy more, give him advice wen needed, listen when he talks, and try not to nag him for a while. let him do the rest on his own, itll make him stronger

Answer 6

an elven year old? how bad, in my point of insight, those children who are being bullied by their classmate have less self-esteem thats why they dont fight back and stand for their right. you should tell your son that he must be able to speak up, dont fight back by having a fist fight, or any doing any bad deeds unto those bullies. Just tell him to be assertive, not passive nor agressive. Or just report those bullies in the school administration, or have a talk with those bullies.

Answer 7

send him to boxing classes - not only will he get fit, he will learn to look after himself

Answer 8

you go back to the school to the principal and ask what they are doing about it and what they are going to do now.

Answer 9

I had the same problem at my kids school.  My 9 year old was being bullied but he was the one being blamed for it, i had meetings with the teacher, the principle and all i got in return was if my son was in another fight, he was gonna be expelled from school the next school year.  We both liked this school so i wanted him to be able to return next year and it surely wasnt his fault, it was the other kids.  So i got so fed up, i contacted the superintendent of the school district and complained about the principle and teacher, and made it clear that i was SOOO MAD!  Would you believe the very next day, the problem was solved!  After 4 months of going back and forth with the school, one complaint to the head boss solved it all.  I dont know who runs the school district in you country but in the USA, we have a superintendent.  Good luck.

Answer 10

okay you have asked the school, and if they have done nothing about it, i would go back and threaten them that if nothing is done you will seek legal action over the matter. they will soon pull there fingers out.

Answer 11

When this happened to my son, we enrolled him in a martial arts program, 80% of which was working out.

He became more fit and self-confident.  After about 3 months, he was walking and holding himself differently.  The bullying stopped, AND his grades improved!

Answer 12

You have contacted the school, now you have to wait and see what happens if the problem is not solved the next step would be to  try and separate the kids.  here we have A and B lunch so you could easily rearrange the kids schedule look into that.

If that does not work, go to the school board demand something be done immediately.  If that does not work, press charges on the kids for harassment.  If they are physically abusing your child press charges for assault.

Which will get the juvenile court involved.  

if that doesn't work, well you might want to consider relocating a kid should not be forced to deal with abuse every day.

Answer 13

It might be time to consider enrolling him a boxing gym or a martial arts dojo. He can gain knowledge as to how to protect himself from harm and confidence to not to have to fight.
