| What can I do when my child is being bullied? |

 If you suspect that your child is being bullied at school, then you need to trust your instincts. Schools are a great place for bullies to build their reputation of power and control. First, let your child know that you believe that something is wrong. Don't try to "bully" the information out of your child. Be patient. Promise that you will not make the situation worse. Do not promise to keep it a secret, or that you will not report the problem. Do promise that you will not do anything without your child knowing what you are going to do. Be sure that your child knows that this situation will not get better on it's own, and that appropriate adult intervention is needed. Second, contact the school, once you know what the issue is. Before identifying yourself, ask what the school's policy is on keeping kids safe once they have reported a bullying incident. Do not give out any information until you have a satisfactory answer to that question. If the school does not have an answer for you, ask when you can call get to get an answer. Do not go charging into the school demanding justice. This will only make the situation worse for your child, and will likely embarrass him or her. Third, set up a meeting to problem solve your way through this situation with your child and members of the school faculty, including the teacher and the counselor. Your goal must be getting this situation solved, rather than seeking revenge. This is a highly emotional time for parents, and there is NOTHING tougher than seeing your child hurting because of another's actions. Your child deserves to feel safe and welcome at school. Be sure to keep that the focus in the meeting. Finally, once a plan has been set, check in with your child regularly, and the school periodically. Keep in touch with all of the support people. Trust your instincts with your child, and let the school know if the plan is not working,

Ms. For all of the children who are being bullied, it is not your fault and you should not look down on yourselves but just know that that your parents and teachers don't want you to have to go to school scared to its ok to tell but when you tell make sure that the bully is close by and tell the teacher or principal. "He keeps picking on me" |

Anti Bullying Hey, Bullying is not right, it goes against the Canadian Charter of Right and Freedoms so please report bullying to administration (someone who works at the school). Record all facts and details of each incident including the date and send a copy to someone in a position to help. A charity in Toronto is taking on the Anti Bullying Cause through a huge initiative to raise awareness and give people strategies to stop it. |

don't be silent Don't be silent about bullying. It may take alot of strength to face your fear...but thats how a bully rules...Fear. You won't be alone if you talk to your friends or a trusted adult. You can email teachers/counselors from home. It is not weakness to tell another person you need help. Bullying is a sign of weakness. No matter what happens you will feel better for standing up for yourself, for being the mature one. |

Being Bullied Hay I understand what some of you are going through, I myself have a nine year old that is being bullied, what do you say to them to keep them going and keep them wanting to stay at school? I always tell my son to stay away from them and don't associate with any one who does not want to be your friend, he says he plays alot at recess by himself and sometimes he plays with some of the boys. I tell him well you know you can't get in trouble being by yourself, I try to encourage him in everything, so I want to encourage you TELL, TELL, TELL yes you may feel we as parents don't understand and can't help but we can and we want to. hang in there okay to all of my new found friends. |

concerned parent Hi i also have a nine year old daughter who is been bullied since 1st grade. the school is not helping a lots. they only say that they will get to the bottum of it. my daughter one day walked home when she was still a small child. I tell her everyday to keep her head up. I feel as if their bullying is effecting her school performance and i was going to take her to a different school but, the school talked me out of it, but i think i should of switched schools maybe. to everychild out there please tell your parents about being bullied. |

4yr old bullied by neice My son has been bullied by my neice for a little while now. I thought that she would be discliplined out of it by now, but she is not. I've tried to tell her whats right and wrong, but she does things just because she can and will do what I told her not to-because she gets away with it. I told her many times, not to draw or color on my sons face- and she did it in front of her mother. Her mother did not say anything to her, and many times has not. However, I yelled my neice and told her to wash it off of him. Her mother was startled and took her daughter and left. Now, she is telling me that I degraded her daughter that day. I don't agree, and are hoenstly fed up with her and her daughters behaviors. Anyone have any suggestions for me? |

... find out what the bullies are saying to your kid and show your kids how to confront the bullies in strong way (yes if they have to hit them let them do it and have their back if they get a warning)trust me they will not mess with your kid again. ireally mean this the problem will not be fixed on it's own period. |

HIT 'EM WHERE IT HURT$$$$$ I recently pulled my daughter from school after months of harrassment and am now in the process of homeschooling her until the next year. However, I have three more children moving up to the same school and I will not allow the staff and principal to ignore this anymore....I have to meet with the schoolboard to discuss the reason for my decision and I am going to DEMAND they impliment a program in these schools or ill pull all of my kids out along with other parents ive already organized and spoke with and we will campaign against the school and school board. School should be the safest place to be and it's the opposite. |

mrseses my daughter got bullied that bad she came home in bruises and red raw,she then confessed it had gone on since the nursery but she could'nt tell me because the girl said she would hit her harder,the school totally denied this could happen,that was four year's ago.I never let her back to the school although she was to scared anyway-the bullying still goes on there even from what I'm told.Anyway she settled fine in her new school I never knew my girl was so clever they gave her so much confidence it was untrue,I found it hard to deal with what had happened to her it was wrong so cruel,and then the headmaster left her school omg it started again and guess what no-one listened to me, I asked her teacher does she show off or ask for this and he said no she's just a very pretty clever girl likes things organised.My daughter can't understand why everyone hates her and wishes she was dead.What do I do I don't how this 11yr old gets treated so bad its so sad to see her when she's down,but she takes it out on me of course,we need help please thanks |

Bullying Hi there. My son who is 12 years old and in middle school is being bullyed every day at school. I just found out that it has been going on all year long. The school seems to be doing little or nothing to stop this from happening to him. His grades are falling and he is now talking about hurting himself. As his mother i am overwhelmed with this and very concerned. I don't know what to do. I have talked with the school several times and when my son talks about to the school staff, it seems that the bullying only gets worse. PLEASE HELP |

Bullying in schools. I have experienced bullying of my children from nursery right through to final year 11. I have found that although schools may have antibullying pollicies very rarely are these implemented and the onus is on the victim and how they could change to fit in with the `in crowd`.In infant school my son had to wear a hi-vis vest, erm the bullies already knew where he was, and as he put it they spotted him straight away when he was hiding.The supervisor still turned a blind eye to the bullying.The school had my children isolated, to protect them, which is like punishment.More negative attention and another excuse for the bullies to tease.Well I am sorry to say this is a pathetic way of going about situations which ruin lives.The bullies should be made to wear hi-vis jackets, isolated and at high school expelled when they bully other children. From my experience, kids tell your parents, and parents just take your kids out of the schools if nothing changes in the first instance of the bullying because if the school dont appear to be tackling the issue then they probalby arent.Do not be fobbed off by a teacher saying your child is different.Every child is different and just because your child is at a different stage of developement (high achievers in my childrens case), this does not give other children (or teachers) a right to ridicule them. One of my children pushed through this bullying and put the anger into studying more and to do well, the other lost all interest in school work and now hates anything to do with school.Shame because he is so clever and could do well.His whole school life and educaton wrecked because of bullies and the schools inability to deal with a few yobs. A happy go lucky infant scrambled into a angry self hating teen because of bullying and not just by other pupils, the self hating stems from a headmaster(the biggest bully in the school he was attending at that time)calling him ugly at 6, which was complete rubish and very cruel. It is heartbreaking. My experience of bullying in schools which unfortunately seems to be the popular culture in the uk at the moment.From the uk. |

... I also found that the bullying got worse when I went into the school, and I know why, the head of year marched my child up to the bully at break, right in front of all the other pupils and said this child (by name) said you are bullying her is this true, bully says not, the head of year says to my child she said she isnt so your lying, dont tell lies, head of year then walks off and leaves my child in the middle of the crowd of bullies who are stood wetting themselves and pointing at my child. Result my child was then on bullied and taunted by not only one bully but the bullies in each year group that witnessed this complete humiliation by the head of year.This same head of year then went on to do the self same thing to several other victims of this bullying gang and rather bizzarrely zoned in on my son for her `special attention` upon him joining the school 2 year later. Needless to say I pulled my son out of the school after year 8 as she was head of his year.The school has a problem with gangs(refuses to accept the problem, but now has two of its very own police officers in the school), my son recieved death threats and beaten on a regular occurance by a member of this gang, this woman denied all what I and other parents were experiencing with our children.She then followed my son round everywhere. Other kids used to take their skateboard into school, my son took his and she confiscated it then went out of her way to get them banned.These had been allowed until my son walked in with one. He was good at running and enjoyed pe, she put him in isolation for pe. He started a free running club with his friends, set a club up at the school, she barred him from attending. I moved home and moved him schools(different area), then when yr 9 was about to start I got a snotty call off her asking where my son was. She had taken over the next yr up year group, the one my son was going up into.I wish I could have seen her face because she was speechless when I told her he was no longer attending that particular school and she would have to find another victim. Sometimes it isnt just the children bullies that are the problem. If your child begs you not to go into school again and says they will put up with the bullying, my son was suicidal by this time, just move your child because some child bullies turn into teachers, and bullies never change they just turn into adult bullies. |

Los Arboles Middle School in Marina, Ca 93933 My daughter gets jumped every day at school by a gang of girls. We had to take her to the Hospital yesterday for the same reason, black eye, knots on the forehead, etc. One of the girls who jumped my granddaughter is in jail due to the incident that occurred yesterday. I tried not to send her back to school, but I was told that there is only 28 days left and she must continued with the same school. The police are also aware of the situation, should I get a restraining order for the girl who is currently arrested. But what about the rest of the girl’s little gang who will continued on the same school. These people are bigger than my daughter, at least 30 of them. Please help. I am a desperate parent. |

Frustrated My daughter gets bullied in school as well. She is 18, has dealt with this and rumors since the 10th grade. The school sucks.. They do nothing.. She had an awesome senior until a few weeks ago. A girl who don't like her has restarted rumors from the years before. They had pere mediation and thats it. nothing is ever done.I'm to the point to contact the media or a lawyer. She has had so much emotional abuse and stress over it it's unbearable |

why Today I get a call from a social worker from the state from my child school. No one from the school called me. My 11 year old son has been being bullied around this past year to the point that he writes letters to himself about ending his own life because of all the pain an hurt this young boy has caused my son. I have been told about this boy before from my sons teacher an my son. This boy has told my son he was going to kill his family an make his life hell. He has beat my son up in the bathroom, called my son all the nasty names you can think of. My son has told me he will sit in class an stare at my son with a mean look an lip to him I hate you. I never would have thought my son would ever think about taking his own life. When I went in today I read the letters my son has wrote. It broke my heart knowing my son was hurting so bad and no one not even the teachers did nothing. I broke out into tears an told my son I love you! WHY WOULD YOU WANNA LEAVE ME. I'm so mad at his school. They did nothing all they did was put them on diff sides of the classroom. I was told the P.E teacher pairs them together when my son has told him what this bully does. Florida has a law about bulling. And why does this school put up with this? My son life is now on the line an there better be awaking to this before my son pays the price with his life. |

son is frightened to go to school For the past 18months my 10yo son has been bullied by the same boy. Name calling, attacked with pins and needles, fighting and damaging his school belongings and verbally abused. My son did retaliate once to the fighting and got suspended for 3 days, he has been placed in the lower reading groups and other subjects as well. my son has recently received a time out card where he gets placed into another class. he is a wreck, unhappy and cries, he hates that he is getting punished and the bully gets nothing. This is his last year in primary, i don't want to take him out at this time of year. Any ideas. |

response to, "son is frightened to got school" go to the link below http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OH6TSrkCNlo I have been having this same issue. I am trying to skip school. The school system says (At least mine does) that if you skip school and they find out it is because of bulles then the bullies get in huge trouble. During shop class kids throw rulers at me and verbally trash me. My parents are really against me skipping school and I am really considering running away. Prove something to the school. And if the word, "lawsuit" is ever mentioned, it is always sure to get someones attention. |

why Kristie, I am so sorry about your son. But my son is the other way round. He was bullied during school days and now he is 18 but very defensive and vulgar cos he do not want to be bullied again. But what worried me is that he threatened his girl friend about harming her family if her family bully him. He even threatened to burn their house. I was worried even though I think he will not do such thing. He used to be a nice boy when he was young. But not now, he behave differently. I just do not know how to handle him. I am very sad and do not know what to do at this point of time................. I am lost and so is my son........... |

Bullied I am being bullied. I am 13 years old- and i have been bullied since i was 6. It got so bad alst year i had to move class. Out of 15 other people- 0 had not yet seriously bullied me. I agree with all the 'Ignre them' and 'Tell someone'. But for some reason nobody will listen to me! Its the school hlidays right now but still somehow people are trying to upset me now. Silly litle things like 'OM* UR a horse haha' are stupid and meaningless at first- but through my first year of Academy school i gt called that at least 5 times a day. People always threaten me, I get punched every now and again, but somewhow it's like my teachers are oblivious or just scared of dealing with it. I get called geek, weirdo, gay, lemon, b****, goody-goody, wimp, ho, whore, and tons of other stuff. I have even told my mum- she's a social worker and its like she doesnt even care (that is why i am writing here- so i can get the opinions of other parents who have kids who are unfortunate enough to be being bullied) Please don't tell me that i have to tell someone- i have tried. The closest its got to being sorted is getting some of the bullies in the same room as me talking to us- then they leave us alone in the room and its hell on earth. And it's not even a manageable number. I get bullied by i'd guess about 80-90% of my year, and there are lots of people from other years. The only soloution i can see is moving away- but theres no way thats ever going t happen. I feel like ive tried everything. I really want this sorted- im scared of what's next. Sometimes i just feel so sad so suddenly i just fall to the floor and cry. I have even had faints/seizures- i think its to do with stress. Please- somebody help. |

to all of you! I just can't believe it. I always known there are bullies in every school, every city, small and large. But, for some reason, I thought that the schools were doing more about it. My little girl is one of the lucky one then. Her school and kids are doing a great job with handling bullies. I writing this about me, becouse what most of you (mainly the kids) have written sounds like my life growing up. I'am 41yrs. old, no college, becouse I hate everything about school, even after growing up and the bulling stop. That fear is still there. All through grade school and jr. high I was picked on. Started out with a few bullies and spread to everyone. When I went to my mom and told her. She got mad at me for being weak and not standing up for myself. The main bullies where brothers that were 4yrs. older then me. I was a very tiny girl, how was I going to stand up against them. By the time I moved when a was in the 9th grade, I stopped careing about myself, never washed (that really help, NOT) stopped trying in school. In fact my school transferred me with all F. I passed three years in a row with D and Fs. I should have been hold back many times. By high school, I was so lost that I dropped out. I wish I have the answers for everyone. But each perso story is different and needs its own answer. Defense class is a smart way to go, but not everyone can afford them. They can be expensive. Grouping friends to stand together will work if you have friends that will do that for you and themselves. The school really should have the answer. Bully awareness is spreading. The schools need to set up programs for all kids and familys. Communities also need to pull together. That would make a world of difference. Please adults out there, do not fail your kids or they will grow up lost and uneducated like me. And bullies out there, you are in pain of some kind, share your pain in another way. We do care and will listen. And to all those that are ask but don't help (you know who you are) get your head out of your ass and do something. These kids need you!! Oh, yes, to the kids that want to hurt themselves, please don't. You are all good kids that have something to give to the world. Someday it will all stop, please be alive or you might miss something you really don't want to miss. |

My daughter Hi everyone, my 8 years old daughter is constantly bullied at school by her classmates. She has speach delays but she works very hard to achieve at school. She's always nervous and she started to wet bed again. She told me that she is constantly ignored by her classmates, I'm like a ghost she said. They also tell her that she's fat, ugly and poor ( only becaouse she doesn't buy a well known clothes brand. I am separated but I always worked full-time and I have never been on benefits, she has everything she needs). She is very very sad. I booked a meeting with the teacher and I need some suggestions on what to say to my daughter in order to reassure her a bit. I apologise for my English, it's not my first language and, also, I am feeling very emotional. Thanks for reading. Simona |

My son is being bullied by his thead teacher What do I do? There has been an incident where my son hurt himself and he informed the staff at his school and he had this cut cleaned and was sent back to class. We did not find out about it until we picked him up from his friends house... the cut was so deep we had to take him to the hospital where they x-rayed it and glued it back together. We raised a concern with the school and they have basically said he is lying and he did not tell them... which has now moved onto them saying it did not happen in school (they are changing their story as I have a felling thy are trying to cover themselves for a failure to follow procedure). This is not the first time this has happened either - the last time he had an accident he hit his head and when he informed his teacher that he hit his head and felt sick she told him to sit back down and he would be alright, then he told her again, and it was only when he said he was going to be sick he was told to go to the office, who did not inform us he had hit his head... it was only after he got worse and we found out he had hit his head that we took him straight to hospital where they kept him in for 6 hours for observation as he was suffering from concussion. As a result we have started a complaint procedure (and all we expect is an apology and assurances that this will not happen again) with the school and now the head teacher on 2 occasions has got him on his own and verbally abuses him - simple things like making a sarcastic comment like "Oh! I see you can move your knee now!" and when he answers she says it again, then again, then again.... now he has come home for the past 2 days extremely upset and he is being targeted by the head teacher - and she has already denied one instance of this bullying. It makes me sick that an adult in a position of authority who has a duty of care to my child and should be a role model is acting like this... and as far as I can see there is nothing I can really do... we can go to the Baord of Governers but I do not hold out much hope of them being able to help or the Board of Education for our local council as they are the worst at 'closing ranks'we do not hold out much hope. At what point does this stop being a school complaint and start becoming a child abuse issue?? An adult bullying an 8 year old in any sense is disgusting - BUT A TEACHER... the Head at that is even worse. Any suggestion would be very much appreciated |

bullies for all the parents who's boys get bullied. Tell your boy to punch the bully in the face. he will gain a reputation for not taking s**t off bullies, and should be fine from there on. |

Bullies hi I'm kevin and I'm 15 and I'm in speech class. I heard many kids from many other school are being bullied the reason why kids bully others, because, Every bully may or may not have the own cause of hurting other kids just because of them thinking there big, cool, does it for fun, does it to hurt feelings, does it to make the child feel bad, and many more other reasons. There are many ways to fight off of a bully is by walking away from them without confronting them or turn your self down and do nothing ( never turn down or they will keep hurting you) or finding some one whom you really trust to talk to with about your problems. But if it really keeps happening i suggest you can ether tape a small tape recorder under any thing or asking any of the child's friends to look out for him/her. If this really does help than I'm glad I'm here to help. |

Protection for kids This article is very informative and a big help for us parents. I have a child being bullied at school and I just recently found out about it. The first thing I did is I talked to the school principal to address the concern of my child and the school principal took action right away. But it doesn’t stop there as much as possible I want my child to feel safe and secure all the time, so I registered him to this SafeKidZone mobile security application that has a panic button, when emergency occurs just a press of it, simultaneously it notifies all friends, family members and routes the call to the nearest 911 in your area. I find this application very useful. This is the protection I provided my kid http://safekidzone.com/ |

My son is being bullied by a department of teachers, and have threated me that if i dont stop complaining they will force my son out of the school, and there isnt another one near us the nearest one is 16 miles away, The school said there is no point going to the board of governers as they have already decided to stand by the head of the school, they have even lied to the police and slured him, there is 2 othe boys this is happening to as well they have told me they are trying to get one of the other boys expelled i dont know what to do HELP!!!! |

a concerned parent My child has just started a knew school this year, and he has autism as well as adhd he also suffers from anxiety. It's this one kid in his class that has really gotten on my childs last nerve, so bad until my child stated that he wanted to kill him my child is only 11 years old. I have talked to the principal as well as the teacher nothing has been done yet I guess something have to happen really bad before something is done boy how sad. I am at the point that I am ready to pull my child out of school and just say the heck with everything. |

My Son is Now in Psychiatric Evaluation My son has been bullied so bad that he now lashes out and is suicidal. I have been to the school numerous times and the school board. A blind eye has been turned to my concerns. Now my 12 yr old who was once fit, straight A student, in honors classes, is failing 7th grade, hates school and everyone there, and is suicidal. I put him in therapy in which they have placed him in a psychiatric hospital and have started medication for depression. He will be released Wednesday. He has been there for a week already. We live in Alabama and I want to know if I have any legal rights to sue the pants off this system that has failed this beautiful child. I have begged them to help me. Hope someone can answer this question for me and I am so sorry to everyone on here who is bullied or has a child being bullied. |

Mrs In my point of view, the only responsible person in the matter of bullying students are the schools' principals. They need to be more considerate about this matter. I have a 14year-old son that I've raised him to be respectful to others and doesn't show any reaction by himself and if has got any problem just informs the principals and of course me, but unfortunately he was complaining that the principals have done nothing about the case that he has in the school with a bullying student. (although I have informed them myself too). So I need to react myself and give the bully a good lesson. |

Why are you taking this abuse? Why are you parents not filing a bullying report for every incident. Are you writing your congressman? Are you writing the school board. Go to the county school website and start filing bulling reports! Take your child out of school until the school fixes the problem. |

Don't act like standing up to bullies is easy. Because one person finds it easier to stand up to bullies, don't assume all kids do. Secondly, kids should not have to deal with this in school, period. As a parent, get your school to take action if you have to stand outside with a protest sign every day! |

... I have two teenage girls that go to a yakima school district and for months the same girl in different crowds still say things to my daughter and her cousin. She acts like the things she says and do dont hurt the girls she will text each of them and tell the other one that they are taking about each other. She tells them to f... off and really rude to them. I have gone to the assistant principle and found out he didnt report it to the school, and this time i had to go to the school district to get me to see the principle. The security guards tell my girls to stop causing problems I feel that the yakima school board needs to step in and take control and saftey of our children out of the principles and see to it themselves, because someone is going to get hurt bad. |

Bullied for a long time I have been bullied since I was 6 years old by my own cousin and it wanst like that 1 comment I got beat up and noone would help they would out run me knock me down and punch me until i lost wind. iI am now 11 years old and still get bullied by more people I tried telling the teacher on ymy cousin when I was 6 but it got me nowhere he didnt get in trouble and they didnt even phone his parents. I tried telling them to stop all they do is try to hurt me more. There is only 1 thing to do you have to tell them to stop or youll do to them what theyre doing and if they do it do it to them. Today at school I was being bullied I tolsd him if he wouldnt stop I would hit him back, he hit me again so without a moments hesitation I grabbed him and need him in the stomach everyone stood there shocked even the bully. The bully didnt touch me again.and to be honest it makes me angry when adults make tarticles like this They don`t know what actually happens. |

Ms. Ana, To all those who are being bullied i would say if you don't stand for yourself no one will come to help you.Even I have a child who is 11yr, till today I thought everything is fine with him until he told me that he has been bullied every single year, has no friends in school. Kids come to him only if they need help as he is good in academics. I told him same thing, fight for yourself and do not help anyone just because you want them to be your friend. You will find true friends sooner or later, elementary school is just not an end.Even I am going to raise this question to school as it is a very good school and they do take strict action against school. And if school won't do anything I am one of those parents who is not going to let it go so easily. World is like that if you do not fight for yourself you will be like those in the bottom of food chain.I have a faith justice is done sooner or later. |

What do you do if your bullied but teachers and staff do "NOTHING" about it? Hey, I have been bullied ever sence I started school. I not am a Junior but things got worse for bullying after I lost all my friends who once stood up for me. In elementary I was tied to aa flag pole and they just untied me and did "nothing" to the kid who did that. Theres times where i wish i was never born because I am picked on because I am in special education. Also there is this kid and he wont leave me alone. He picks on me during class and the teacher does "nothing" to him because he has "anger problems". When she dealed with the problem before, he cussed my teacher out and threw his desk at the teacher. He was suspended but he still does the same stuff to me. He NEVER LEARNS! I just want to be safe for once at my school without him making fun of me and cussing at me and throwing gum in my hair. |

Wow! This is how you stop bullying: I am shocked at the parents on here. You have the divine animal right to protect your children from ANY harm. You have the right to demand your child's safety while at school. If you go into the school, and you calmly and quietly discuss your child's harassment issues, nothing is going to get done. Why? Because you're not showing that it is an urgent matter. The school staff has tons to do, and if they can push your issue aside, then they're going to. I had several incidents with my son since headstart. He had a little boy physically hurting him and several other students in there. I didn't know what to do...until one day the teacher called and told me to come and get him. I went up there, he was crying his eyes out, and the teacher told me he threw a fit and said that Cameron (the pos kid that was bullying the other kids) hurt him. And because my son was crying about it, they wanted me to bring my kid home. What did I do? I yelled at the teacher in front of the kids (no cuss words, you should always watch your language around kids, especially other people's kids) and he never had to go back to that school again. And they lost alot of funding after that incident (Thank you parents!) Next, In first grade, he had another problem with another kid. He came home with red marks all on his back from being kicked. This is not acceptable! Not for my kid, not for any kid. I IMMEDIATELY went up to the school, and I showed my ass to the teacher (whom did not call me or write me about the incident even though my son told her what happened....thats right, he knows to tell because he knows him Mom will stand up for him against anyone and make it right, which is important for a kid to know). I yelled, cussed, threatened her, then I went into the Principal's office and let her hear it too. I told them straight up that I will not send my son to school to get abused. I will not allow my son to be afraid to get an education because the school didn't know how to keep kids safe from bullies. And that if this ever happened again, then I will do more to them than what is happening to my son. If they think it is ok for my son to get hit, then dammit its ok to hit them. Then I let them know that if they can't handle the students, give me their parent's address and I'll personally make sure they teach their kids how to behave. And you know what?? It worked. No more bullying. The teachers and staff have the power to stop the bullying. They are really the only ones since we can not go to school with our kids. So you have to show the staff just how important your kid's health and well being is to you, and let them know that it is unacceptable to treat YOUR kid that way. Get tough. Get mean. Get protective of your kid. Its the only way to stop bullying. Just talking to the school is not enough, trust me. But don't actually hit the teacher/principal in the school... going to jail won't help your kid lol. Much luck to the kiddos out there! And for all you kids who are being bullied at school, tell someone who cares. Tell someone!! And keep telling until it is solved! No one can help you if they don't know what is going on. And if you can't rely on your parents, then tell someone who you can rely on. Bullies prey on the weak, they prey on the ones who they know won't stand up for their selves. They want to look cool and making others scared of them is the only way they know how to be "cool". Find a way to stand up for your self. Any way. And please know, that you are special. You are not worthless, and you DON'T deserve to be treated this way...no matter if you're a nerd(which is cool!!) or how you dress, or what music you listen to, or how much money your parents have....those things are you, and everyone~EVERYONE~ has been a nerd, poor, a bad dresser, goofy-music-listener at one point of their lives We're all more alike than we realize, and we all deserve to be safe. You deserve to be safe, and happy! Please don't hurt yourself, please. School will be over before you know it, and after school is a whole new world full of adventure and tons of choices and love. School will be just a distant memory and you can make your own life. Reach for it Love yourself, and God bless you!!!! |

Outraged at our school system Amazing. You can't stop bullying if the TEACHERS/PRINCIPAL won't do anything about it. ASHAME. My daughter has been bullied since the beginning of school....and just yesterday was told she was going to die. Um....so my question is, where in the world is the justice for my daughter??? I'm supposed to stand back and allow this to go on? I have made police reports, I have been in the office of the school....and that girl is still allowed to remain in school, and in the same class as my daughter. Tell ME where the JUSTICE is for my daughter? HOW fair is this to HER? I am OUTRAGED at our school system ... allowing this little girl to come biting/kicking/screaming/punching MY daughter, AND the staff members at the school....excuse me...but its a SCHOOL!!!! It is NOT a romper room for misbehaved students. I was told that her mother has "clout"...excuse me...I DON'T CARE WHO HER MOTHER IS...SHE COULD BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE United States for all I care....bullying is bullying...and it needs to STOP. |

And for the record.... Oh....and by the way...IT WILL STOP. TODAY.

No...NO BULLYING. I love my child, and I'm tired of her getting HIT/THREATENED when she is going to LEARN something. That child needs HELP....so let her GET help but OUT of the school system where the rest of the students can be SAFE from her ABUSE! |

Kicked By Cruel Teachers When I Was Down It's the BULLIES who should feel ashamed, not the helpless victims. I remember being unjustly blamed for my own bullying. Just so they wouldn't have to bother with me anymore, most of the teachers made me sit in the library all day, guarded by a mean-looking teacher who threatened to paddle me. My grades were bad enough because of stress but they nosedived, and I lived in fear every moment of every day. What sucks is most of those damn people claimed to be churchgoers and the Bible was read in class every morning. I hope they all have to answer to God for how they treated me. The humane society would arrest anybody who'd treated a dog like I was treated in school. No place in hell is too hot for bullies! |

... Any advice. My daughter has been bullied on and of for 4 years firstly at her junior school, the head teacher wouldn't do anything so we moved her, all was well. Now she is at secondary school it has all started again. School are crap very unhelpful. i am in the process of transferring her school, though got to appeal. She is slowly getting depressed in front of us, what else can we do? If I take her out of school until the transfer is sucessful, will i get into trouble with the local council. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks |

moving high schools hiya i am 14 and at high school in dundee and i have been getting bulled and a month before the summer it got a lot worse it was more mental bullying rather than fiskle but there was a bit of that as well. i did not tell my mum what was going on because i didnt want to upset her but for a wile i have wanted to move schools. i evenchely told my mum that the school was a living hell for me and that i hated it and i was getting quite depressed about everything when i told my mum this she was upset that she was making me go to school when it was that bad. my mum got the forms to tranfer and has sent them away. but the problem is that the school i want to move to is just out side the area i live in and because of this and the fact that i am not moving house or have family there i am at the bottom of the list for places and i could be upto another half a year and i cant stand it at that school for that long so does anyone know if there is anyway to speed it up ? thanks p.s it is not just one person i am getting bullyed from ( yes there is a main person ) but it is everyone in my year and the reasons i am getting bullied is because 1 roumers 2 the people who hate mes friends backing them up 3 because i am different and 4 because i have a sister who is a lesbian with a rep xxxxxx |

... My kid came home with a large headache and feeling dizzy one day after school. She told us another girl pushed her off the slide. My husband called the principal and nothing was done. So when it came time to go to school again next year my girl pointed out the culprit in front of all us adults at openhouse. The other girl of course got quiet and her mother plus the teacher consoled her by calling her sweety and such. My girl was a choice where to sit from anywhere except the desk where the other girl was going to sit. But noticeably we were immediately cast out of the caste. So here you are, unless you have "Hello Kitty" on your kids back; it probably would be best to homeschool. |

Bullies are violent. So when I was in 2nd grade, These girls named giovanna & Skylar became friends and guess what, skylar was going to bully me so she started bullying me. Then when I was in 3rd grade, skylar met some new friends bella, leanna and alyssa. Then they started bullying me, because skylar taught them. Then they bullyed me at this thing called walking wednesday. Then they stoped bullying me. And it was 4th grade. Leanna & Bella & Gio were in my class. Guess what, the 3 girls were being nice to me. Gio & Leanna were my bullies but now their my friends. And bella is also nice to me. And when I eat lunch I hide from skylar but tommorow, no more hiding I am going to be strong. |

A teacher bullying my daughter A lot of great insights on this site. A teacher threatened 3 school periods with not being able to compete in a a drama competition if they had my daughter in their group. The teacher had single my duaghter out because she was unable to attend a district drama meet dur to an family emergency and she was told she "didn't have her priorities straight...and she'd regret it". This year we now see waht she means. I am going to call the school today go ask them about their bullying policy and protection for my child anonomously then proceed forward. My daughter wanted to talk to the teacher and her friends to find out what the situation is if she tries to compete. This makes me so sick. I have told my daughter that the teachers behavior is wrong and that her opinion of her means little and that she is loved. I hate that this teacher has brought us to this in our lives. I worry for my daughter's self worth with something like this. Her friends are afraid as well to think about having her in the group and being on the receiving end of this teacher's wrath! I hope to see a stop to this immediately but fear it will need to go up to the school board while having to quote Supreme Court ruling of this issue. |

A lesson... IT STARTS IN THE HOME!!!!! THESE BULLIES ARE TAUGHT BY NO OTHER THAN THERE OWN PARENTS. SOME OF THESE CHILDREN WHO ARE DOING THE BULLYING ARE MOST LIKELY BEING BULLIED IN THEIR OWN HOME BY THEIR PARENTS AND ARE ACTING OUT. I THINK EVERY SINGLE PARENT NEEDS TO HAVE A TALK WITH THEIR CHILDREN REGARDLESS OF BULLYING AND SHOW AND TELL WHY IT IS WRONG.. ALL CHILDREN SHOULD BE MADE TO WATCH A MOVIE, GRAPHIC.. DIPICTING WHAT THIS CAN DO TO PEOPLE AND WHY IT IS WRONG. My son gets bullied all the time and I am sick and tired of it! These darn teachers dont care, especially here in Florida.. it is all about the FCAT, They say "No bullying" .. bullcrap!!! I think that children should keep diaries and if anything happens, then the bullies and their parents should be held accountable. |

My 6 year old son is being bullied at school Hi My poor lovley gently son is being beating up every day at primary school. He tells the teacher but she says she doesn't want to hear that. When I told her some months ago about a 'we hate M---- campaigin' 2 girls tell boys to run up to him saying I hate you! and punch him, some times they would do it in gangs. Other nice kids tell me what happens, some mums tell me what happens and I also shout at some kids to get off him and leave him alone in the mornings but they ignore me!!! The head teacher says I'm making it up. I wrote to Cambridge county council education dept. about it but had no reply. What do I do now!! Do I wait til my son is badly injured or killed at school. Gangs of big lads jump on him all together. It's a nightmare, it's so bad today that I am keeping him off school til it is sorted, which will get me in trouble I'm sure. I am alone with the two boys and we are so religious and kind and helpful, we do nothing wrong, why do we deserve this injustice. Could some one in the same or similar situation please help me. |

my son i send my son to a catholic school.never thought anything would happen in there.my son was in 2nd grade and there was this girl yes a girl that beat my son so bad he couldn't hold his school bag on his back.and this all happen in the lunch room now you have teachers and people who volunteer there and no one saw anything.then she she would trip coming the steps where he could got hurt.when he told the teacher she said that he was a boy that cried wolf!!!!!!! i took pictures of marks on his body took them to school and said does this look like a boy who wolf.the sad part of this is that the school did nothing about this.the toper of this is that the preist of the school said if i was unhappy he could recoommand another school or i could send him to public school. |

... remember, never tell your kids its not ok to fight. they still need confidence to stand up for themselves. never let bullying get worse then it has to be and put a stop to it. i was once in school and there was one kid who would always try to punch me in the hallways after class. he spread rumors about me. i couldnt take it anymore since the principal couldnty do naything but suspend him a few days.the kid just didtn care. he would just keep torturing me until one day... one day i couldnt take it anymore and tackled him one day as he was walking towards me in the hallway with a few of his friends. i beat him so bad and knocked three of his teeth out and nobody bothered me again. but there was just no other way to make him stop. remember fighting is ok just as a last resort. |

Hello, I have a problem **This concerns my being and probably yours** Mmk, I'm being bullied a bit but nothing much. The kid has 11 ''besties'' out of school, several houses, they rich, they do what they like, they've been in moves (ETC). They have behavioral problems and think it is ''funny'' do hit someone in the face with a chair, throw concurs at cars and break the windows and hit me with a bag because I don't wanna be their friend. They've hit me with their bag because they want to be my friend again? I stopped talking to them for 2 days at lunch and break because I noticed we had nothing in common, and she wouldn't want to hang around with me anyway. She has been spying on me all week seeing me with my other friend... She's very possessive. I don't know what to do, she seems to have some nice form mates anyway. One kid sees me nearly crying at school, and they ask "Did I do something wrong? Are you ok?" and I just say I'm fine. Should I tell them? I'm confused and helpless. Please reply =T |

what to do I don't have an answer for anyone of you, only my thoughts. . . .I think that everyone on here needs to comment on each others concerns and support each other. You might not be able to voice your hurt and feelings to the school and you can feel like your fighting a brick wall, but together you can help each other. . .there is strength in numbers. That is why there are so many bullies. If you notice most of the time they call them the "popular crowd or in crowd," but in order to make themselves feel good. . . .they must surround themeselves with people they feel they have power over and belittle the rest. Not one of them has a "true" friend and from my experience the younger bullies are a result of their parents .. . . .former cheerleaders trying to live through their children and believe it or not even a former victim. . . .going overboard to teach their children how to be strong. It is sad and it breaks my heart to read all of your hurts, I wish I could make it all go away, especially you precious babies on here. . . . Young babies. . . .you are so precious . . . .don't EVER let anyone make you think differently. As hard as it is. . . .there is a light at the end of every tunnel, you just have to find it. Find something that works for you, talk to your parents, a close teacher, or better yet your best friend. NEVER walk alone. . . .don't give them the opportunity to hurt you (I know its not your fault and that was a harsh statement). I know this sounds crazy. But for you young ones, usually it is just a matter of calling their bluff. If they are harrassing you verbally, call them out. . . ."ask them what their problem is." But again, most importantly, develop a buddy system. You wouldn't believe the strength 2 can have together....If they are bullying you, more than likely there is another one out there too. . . .find them because they need your help and together you will grow stronger. |

10 YEAR OLDS STORY i am being bullied at school and i tell the teacher but they do nothing about it.when i do tell that just makes it a bigger problem.i even tell the bullies to stop but they never do i cry almost every day and for all the kids out there that are being bullied and the schoolboard does nothing about it stand up for yourself and tell a parent or a friend that you are very close to and tell them your problem and if they are a true friend then they will help you with your problem. |

Hello If you been Bullied when you been young. Hello All I been the same way I tell you my story might help you out. When i was young these kids in Junior school back in the 1970s and 80s when i was growing up i was bit shy first day of school not talk to much, that day went on in a way i look and felt some kids go walk up to ask me some words that knew it was easy to be pick on. I would come home late everyday from school that 2 kids would pick on me that my mom ask me why i was late coming home. One day my parents sent my two brothers wait for me at the bus stop that saw these kids picking on me that held one down that i gave a kid light hit, that wasn't my ideal not like to do that. During first day grade 6 i walk in the school the principle ask a kid to show me around the school, the way i carry my books or walk they ask me a question that was shy bit not answer back the kids would pick on me that i not stand up cause i did not say anything back. They would and push me or try hit me and scare was making me afraid, that i had friends would ask if some was pick on me he would take care of the problem letting me to know that not be bullied. the next year school year i meet the kid used pick on me that i got bigger and grew few inches. that we came friends. The time came when i went to high school i wear some shirt had a name on it and way i talk and walk the older kids pick on me cause felt shy first day of high school cause i was easy pick cause my size and not stand up to them my brothers would take care of the problem. The same way when i grad from school bullies try bug me that i nor the problem and learned to stand up and tell the it's in the pass lets be friends and work this out. that get older and bigger your body decides to grow. This what haft to do is if you know that someone that picking on you or calling you a names that tell your Mom,Dad,Family or Teacher not let it get to you. Ask someone that you want to know what say to person that been a bullied to you or other kids. The other problem I know what cause this problem is you here someone talking about a person that has a problem the way he or she dresses and looks even walks that parents have problems, words gets spreading around that people not like it and bullied starts. The first day of school 1)You say hi how are you, 2)If they not answer back just ask them at lunch time. 3)Hi how are you. 4)If they say hi back you say thank you very much. 6)You walk over and say hello ask them what is your name. 7)If she or he ask you what is yours tell them your first name. And ask a question do want be my friend if he or she say yes or no. 9)Don't be sad 10)Just walk up another person repeat the same words. 11)Later the person you ask first time come back ask you want be friend or not. 12)The respected gos a long way the color is what you look like is not what counts is what makes is you if tried do something what makes you. |

Hello If you been Bullied when you been young.. If you been bullied at school you not be a afraid or know someone to tell teacher or principle, or Parent, Family that you get other person in the same room and you get someone ask them why you bullied me or she or he and talk to them, you want work things out to be friends that you ask too stop please. This what have to do' is get the same people in the same room and talk things out and ask why Bullied me everyday. What have too have is a Five days 15 to 20 minutes class to workout the problems together. is working things out go a lot farther in life. |

200% Support for none Bullying plz check out 'Mindless Behavior' & their movement & anti-bullying campaign. I had a 2 hour long conversation with my 13 year old Daughter @ 12:30 in the morning... All because she had anxiety about going to school! She is a great kid, honor student and a social butterfly! Loves school until a former friend turned on her. (Never liked this girl. She had a potty mouth & a bad attitude, but my daughter tried to convince me she wasn't so bad!) But I figured I let her learn, & learning she did, the hard way. This girl has now become her tormentor and an instigator of bullying. School counselor is there and tries. But I told my daughter this morning after she explained how depressed & stressed she was feeling, that I'm 200% behind her for sticking up for herself.. Just don't render that girl unconscious! I rather for her to nip it in the bud here than the anger builds up and something drastic happens. Parents listen to your kids & let them know you have their back & you are willing to go the mile for them (legally). Bullying just doesn't go away if they ignore their tormentor it only gets worst. |

Bunking Im quite popular at my school and I NEVER have bullied ANYONE and NEVER will. Its just really sad to see idiots bullying others. And a advice to your children, DO NOT CHANGE YOUR FACE eg, Eyebrows. I did this once and people started bullying me, but I just ignored it and they stopped, tell your children to stay calm and show no fear because thats what bullies want you to do. And also, its not that boys like to bully, the majority of bullys don't like to do it. And they do it because they usually have a crush on a girl and they want the girls attention. Well it makes the girl think that the bully is a idiot so it doesn't help the bully AT ALL. And when the bully is older, he will be dumb, ignorant and poor, living on the streets near a bin... Tell your children this my Father told me this and I just let it go when someone bullied me. And that is why I am popular. |

... I am 26 years old. I am a succesful person and I was bullied when I was young. I know it seems to matter what other kids think of you and what they say right now. But once you get a job or go to college everything changes. And in life those bullies really DO have crappy jobs. Just be the best person you can be and stay off drugs, and you will have a better life than those losers. My friends daughter is getting bullied and she is only 6 years old and the boys teasing her are older than her. Do you have any advice for what this little 6 year old girl should do? |

bullies are not normal i have been reading different types of stories about people being bullied. i believe that when a bully treats someone really bad, they don't have a life because they go through something and they take it out on someone they dont know, or bullies treat people bad for no reason. i also believe that bullies are mentally sick because they complain to a place where they are not going through something instead of complaining at the place where they are going through something. if anyone is getting bullied at school, defend yourself because no other person may not defend you and do not ignore anything hurtful a bully says or anything a bully physcally does bad to u. i was just reading a story about a 14 year old special needs girl who was being bullied by her 2 teachers, they were verbally abusing her over little reasons that are senseless.any teacher who does that is not normal because that is torturing a child, and that kind of teacher deserves to burn in hell. |
