A bully cant fight love. Its his only weakness.





Just like dogs kids have to find their place in the pack. Their status





Parents are often disappointed when their offspring is less than top of the food chain.





Kids are terrified that their parents will make a scene on their behalf and make them look like either a tattletale, or a weak person so be really care full handling this.





My advice is start documenting these events in writing to the school. At the bottom of the letter put ';cc: Mr. John Smith, atty at law';. If they think you are sending a copy to your attorney, they get scared you are going to sue the school district. They will jump through flaming hoops to stop the bullying. If it doesn't stop, go ahead and sue. Every school now is required by law to provide an environment that is safe and conducive to learning. If your school doesn't have a formal anti-bullying program already in place, question them about this in writing.R%26amp;S Parents: Have your kids ever had to deal with a bully?

I've always told my son if another kid is being physically threatening to him and there's not an adult around to intervene, then punch the kid as hard as he can in the face. On the playground, if you back down from a bully once, then you're a victim forever. School officials, of course, won't acknowledge that, but it is the unfortunate reality.
My son came home from first grade bruised and bloodied from a bully.





';Curtis, you will need to avoid that bully for a while. But, soon you will never worry about another bully the rest of your life.';





I took him to a sports store and bought him a set of hand grip exercisers. Everyday he worked with those hand grips. Withing a very short, about 6 months, he could make those grips click to the sound of music.





';Now, what dad?';





';Son, whenever anyone bullies you, simply shake his hand or grab his wrist (in a friendly manner) and squeeze.'; -- We both started laughing because it is so obvious what a bully would do if he or she knows that you can break their hand or wrist by simply squeezing them like squeezing a sponge.





-- It's never too late to start with those hand grips. They would probably work great to stop a mugger also.
Yes. I told her to ignore whatever the girl said to her but that if the bully laid a hand on her, she could give her a punch right in the mouth. When the bully bothered her again and pushed her from behind, she turned around to slug her and the bully ran off and has left her alone since then. That was 10 years ago.





Sometimes you just have to call their bluff.
';You're going to have to fight him.';


His father took him aside and taught that little first-grader how to throw a combination, and my kid became the baddest little fighter in the school. He grew up to become an amateur boxer, amongst other things.


You can't apply spirituality to school bullies. A boy has to learn never to back down, never to cry, never to allow himself to lose.


It's the Law of the Schoolyard.
Stand up to a bully and you'll get beat up once. Run away and you'll get beaten a thousand times. Bullies are cowards by nature. If you stand up to them they'll eventually leave you alone and seek easier prey. Of course this was before kids routinely brought guns to school. But I'm pretty sure I'd give the same advice today.

Wow, that has been a few moons ago, but all three of my sons have had to deal with bullies, in one way, fashion or another....I tried the *turn the other cheek* , talk your way out of it, turn and walk away, it seems with most kids those things just do not work, at least not often.... Being boys, it seemed it always turned into violence in small or at times large ways.... *Sigh*.... My oldest even had an older brother of the bully come ON campus at his high school and the threat he made against him was very real, a gun was involved... I have lots of stories that cover just about every situation, but I digress...... anyway, I ended up just taking all 3 of my sons out of the large school and putting them into the alternative one, same school system just a smaller more controlled enviroment..... It seemed to work, but, some of the problems still follow them to this day.... but to answer, I tried it all, some times we parents just have to stand and bite our nails and let the children work it out.... In today's world though it could be dangerous... I suggest going to the school and kicking up a fuss about it all.. go in with ALL the facts you can get, talk to every student you can about the situation and the bully...... Talking to parents, other parents of other kids this same bully(s) has picked on, and see if you ALL can stand together in this...... You will have a HARD time if you have to stand alone, it is one against one, truth wise..... If you are well armed, informed and ready to battle, you stand to gain the respect and action of the school...... I wish you well and luck...... go in peace.... God bless
Yes.





I told my son to try and reason with this kid and see if he could turn the other kid to being a friend.





When that didn't work, I told my son to walk away.





When that didn't work, I told my son to skull-drag the punk's a$$.





After that, they became close friends.





Strange how things work out.
I like to kick the chit out of (I can reed ) for creating an account that makes fun of people with disabilities
I wish I could give you advice, but my son has always been at the 95th percentile for height for his age...so...umm...no.





He's now at the 92nd, at 5ft 11 at 17, but men in my family have 3-6inch growth spurts in college, so I'm guessing he's gonna be 6ft something....
Can I date you? It won't last long, I promise.





Mr. Lewis. I'm sorry if you thought I was making fun of you.
