child being bullied at school

If my child was being bullied at school everyday I would first talk with my child about the situation. If my child was physically being bullied then I would go to the school principal and insist on a meeting with the parents and myself along with both kids. I would like to know why my child is being bullied and hopefully rectify the problem. If it doesn't stop after having the meeting and it is effecting my child and his grades, then I would send him to another school. If my child is being bullied mentally, then I would ask my child how he would like me to handle it? The last thing I would want to do is make life more difficult for my child at school. Sometimes it is good to let the child handle there own situation, as long as no physical abuse is being done. I would try and teach my child that walking away from someone that is calling them names makes them the better person. By walking away and ignoring the bully thats mentally harassing you, will only make that person look foolish in the long run. (Sticks and stone can break my bones but names will never hurt me.) As long as my child knows he/her can talk to me anytime they feel they need to, I believe they will work out there own problems at school providing it is not physical.

I disagree with the this answer when it comes to physical abuse. Say your child is being bullied and beaten and you go to the principal and talk to the parents etc, well you are making it so much worse for your child. The bully will get in trouble, obviously and will lways want to exact some revenge for the punishement. The bully will either intensify his beating on the innicent child or have other kids bneat him/her up so he is not the one at blame. Moving schools is a little extreme. I would suggest talking to your child, finding out the problem and opening a dialog on how to remedy the situation. Depending on how old the child is, maybe some self-defense calsses in ju-jitsu or some common sense avoidance practices should be incorporated. I have been on both sides, bully and prey and can understand both sides.

I feel the most important thing to do is re assure the child. Then after getting the whole story, if the circumstances mean the child may be at risk, speak to the school. My son was bullied at a rough school with a good headmaster who fixed the problem without involving my son. There were no repercussions, but if in doubt send a legal letter to the school and the parents, stating that you will take legal action if it persists. no one should be bullied.

I agree with earnestshub. No one should be bullied, physical or otherwise. The school behavior team should be able to take care of the problem with the students without getting the victim involved.
