Do you just keep telling your kid to keep on taking it and hope that he doesn't commit suicide?Its called talking to your children. Being there when they come home from school and not letting the tv be their babysitters. Its called spending time with them on the weekends when you don't have to work. Its called helping them with their homework, meeting their friends, basically being involved in their life. I was picked on A TON in school. I was always the smallest kid and the quietest kid, but also a smart kid. I got shoved, name called, everything...you name it. I learned to stand up for myself and the bullying stopped.
I get tired of parents and kids today whining about schools being too hard and kids being too mean. Nothing has changed. The kids and schools are just as hard today as they were when I was in school and when my parents were in school and when their parents were in school. Until this kid and his parents learn to stand up for themselves (and that doesn't mean sueing everyone who is mean to you) those 'dregs of society' kids aren't going to leave him alone. And you know what? They shouldn't leave him alone. The bullies are just as important to this kids development as his parents are.
