How should I handle my child being bullied at school?

Give your child permission to stand up to the bully

You have to make a paper trail first and foremost IMHO! You email the teacher, school and district office. Back in the day you met at the corner and took care of it. But now not so much.

Depends on the ā€œbullying ā€œ. There are many levels and different levels require different reactions.

Inform the school superintendent, call the police and file charges. Donā€™t even try to retaliate because it seems those are who gets punished. Call the police

Call the school or go to the principal and tell him or her what is going on and if nothing happens than get the police involved if it gets violent

The school needs to handle it. They donā€™t play anymore when it comes to this. Call the principal, if he donā€™t help, go to the superintendent.

Depends age but see if the parents condone such behavior

Its all parents . Not the child. Itā€™s the dog owner not the dog . Etc

If I witness itā€¦ I address it on the spot making sure the teachers or staff that are nearby are paying attention as well, and it is documented as if it happens again - then the director of the school gets a visit and a chewing

My children are all adults now. But I told mine, never hit first. But take up for yourself.

Put everything you do in writing. File a police report. Write the teacher an email. Write the Principal too. Ask to have a meeting with child(ren) and their parents.

Iā€™d call the school and let them know if it continues on school campus I would demand a meeting with the bullys guardian

Skip dealing with the school cos they wonā€™t do anything and go straight to education department.

Depends on how old the kids are? Elementary? Middle school? High school? All of those need to be handled differently.

Call cps if the teacherā€™s or parents donā€™t do anything then they are doing right by raising them CPS will scare them

There should be an still bullying rule in school. Have them enforce it or go to the district and demand they help

Remove ur child, please dont put ur child thru this, they will never ever get past this, self esteem will b destroyed, please remove before itā€™s too late

I have screamed at a child in my childā€™s face. Sorry not sorry.

I whoop the moms ass ā€¦ However before that try talking to the other parentsā€¦ Or go above teachers and go to the school board ā€¦ If that dont help ā€¦ Well you know ā€¦

I taught my daughter to not let it bother her. Sheā€™s great at laughing at herself. I also told her if they dont get bored to kick their ass.

I get the whole story, take it to the principle at the school, and if they donā€™t deal with it, then I will.

This must be an out of date question. Where are they going to school right now?

My suggestion probably isnā€™t legal :joy: :joy:ā€¦ I genuinely hope you can resolve it though!

Im meanā€¦ ill show up at their houseā€¦ nobody will protect my kids except me

ā€œBet Iā€™m 7ā€ :joy: just kidding

Well id speak with the teachers first and if it continues talk with the parents and if that doesnā€™t work Iā€™ll beat their parents asses while the kids watch. :joy:

First ask the child what they want you to do. Then decide.

What did the kid do to bully your kid?

Switch schools, homeschool or move your entire household. No joke. Itā€™s completely worth it!!!

Have you tried a meeting with the parents And if so what was the reactions Or had a meeting with the school

Id march in the principals office and demand that something be done! No one messes with my children!

My kid knows if he tells someone to stop 3 times and they donā€™t stop, heā€™s to handle his business. He wonā€™t get in trouble with me or his dad for defending himself or his brother.

There was a kid in my daughters school who kept hitting and kicking her, my daughter has a sweet soul and doesnt believe in violence :cry: when i went to school for meeting the parent informed me it was cause he had angry hand/feet ā€¦ i said pardon me i have angry hands right now should i punch you in the face ā€¦ she told me it was different as we are adults ā€¦ i laughed informed her we are raising our children to be adults and he should be taught now there are consequences to his action , much like i would have if i chose to hit her ! I told her if her child hit my child again i would be the one to teach him and her a lesson (seems rank but wasnt just one time ) well needless to say never happened again

I would yell at the kid- tell them if they touched my child one more time they better get their mom! Because everyone getting their ass beat!

And Iā€™d go to the principal- report the child and let them know my child will be instructed to whoop that kids ass if it happens again!

Am I petty? Sure! But donā€™t mess with my child! I will hurt you! Period!

I fought the school! Told them I was getting a lawyer. The ā€œ bully was the principal ā€œ he left town! After FB photo showed him drunk, passed out. ā€¦ his son posted them.

I contacted the bullyā€™s mother. It stopped immediately

I went to my kids Bullyā€™s Parents home and told them to check their son and leave my kid alone. Cause if I have to come back it wonā€™t be to have a talk about something that should have been fixed.

Tell ur kid to stand up for themselves. They donā€™t have to throw the first punch but they can stand up for themselves. If someone is pushing and hitting them. They have every right to hit back. My son more then once didnā€™t start the fight but he finished it. And I went to the school and asked the principal if someone hit u, would u just walk away and find help or hit back. Each one said they would hit back. I said so why r we teaching kids that defending themselves is wrong. And he went home with a day of in school suspension and the other boys got three days of full suspension. Better to go to the school defending ur childā€™s action to defend themselves then going to the school to tell the teacher ur son canā€™t come to school because they r afraid. Donā€™t let them be afraid. Give them the ability to defend themselves. Tell them that if they throw the first punch u canā€™t defend that. But u can defend them defending themselves. Let them know if the bully is just throwing words that they can get in the bullyā€™s face and say words back. There is always the really good one of want to meet up after school and handle this like men(or women). I got bullied offered that many time never had to use it because the bully doesnā€™t really want to get hurt or maybe get in trouble for physically hurting another student. But ur kid looks like they r tough and unwilling to be pushed around.

Iā€™m cussing somebodyā€™s kid out that day :woman_shrugging: if the mama gets mad she can get cussed out too

Teach your kids to fight back.

My son was raised in Spain for his first three years of schooling. Things were a bit different over there. They let the kids figure it out themselves. By the time my son started school here in the states, the first time a built started something with him, my son decked him. The poor kid didnā€™t know what hit him. He wasnā€™t expecting that reaction. No one messes with my son now. :joy:

Go up there and raise Hell.

I always tell my kids dont let noone be mean to u or hit u ā€¦ but if I wouldā€™ve seen it I would go off n tell the teacher n their parents ā€¦

Call the school and address it immediately

I aint even going to lie n idc ehat anybody has to say about it either but my boys were being bullied. I saw my son get attacked by some bigger boy thru a football at his face n jumped on him. I got out my car walked across the street n told him he better whoop his ass. As i watched them fighting i told my younger son to jump in too. Both my boys tag teamed his ass n dared the school to say or expell my boys. The school never did anything about the reported bulling acts. Guess what thoā€¦them kids never messed with my boys again!! But teach their own.

Go straight to the principal if you donā€™t get imeadeat satisfaction go to the board of education

Oh dear . Let the bullie know its not acceptable. Then take it out on the parent.

Id be talking to their parents.

You tell this kids mom to tell her kid to knock it off

First I go to the school, and spend time with my children around this person, next I hold the school responsible. Children are committing suicide from bullying happening at school!! Be present, be loud and protect you children!!!

If I witnessed it, Iā€™d intervene immediately. No questions asked.

Administration would be involved and would handle it, or Iā€™d move my way straight up the chain of command.

I tell the kid to stop or Iā€™ll tell your parent record it

Scare the crap out of the bully.

The word Bullied is thrown around loosely depends what the hell is really happening.

Contact the parents of the bully.

Tell them umm no thatā€™s not acceptable

I tell my kids all the usual rules about bullying but the most important thing I try to teach them is to defend themselves if it happens to them. If they get hit, hit the bully back harder. Sorry not sorry.

Well, our school has a zero tolerance policyā€¦the problem with that is getting them to actually follow through. So, I taught my son that he may not start a fight but, he can certainly finish one. Because 1) I will always have my kidsā€™ back and 2) sometimes bullying doesnā€™t stop until you stand up for yourself ā€“ which is exactly what happened with the 3 bullies my son had.

My son gets bullied a lot for being Chubby and so I constantly tell him there is nothing wrong with his body. I make sure to give him compliments when he least expects it and I can always see his 11 year old face brighten every time. I also have deep conversations with him about why some people feel the need to bully. I tell him that it comes from a place of their own bad thoughts about themselves. That they try to make someone else look bad in-front of others so they donā€™t notice things about themselves that they think are not as good. Or that they might get treated poorly at home and take it out on kids at school because they are hurting inside. I tell him that bullying doesnā€™t come from happy people, it comes from people with deep sadness and insecurities. And I tell him words are just words at the end of the day, no matter how hurtful. They only have lasting power if you give it to them. Even though it hurts him sometimes heā€™s learned to not let it hurt him for long. And heā€™s a lot more confident than he used to be. Having a lot of conversations with him to help him understand that bullying isnā€™t about him or his fault has helped him a lot. And he feels bad for them and forgives them. One day he told me that he rather be bullied than someone else who might be hurt more from it. And I cried so hard. I hate that I have to teach/show him ways to handle being bullied but I rather him feel stronger on the inside because bullies donā€™t always stop after school. People get bullied online or at work places all the time. I wish parents would make sure their kids didnā€™t bully others more often but itā€™s not always the case and like I tell my son, you canā€™t control what someone else says or does but you can control how you feel about it and handle it. The only way I can understand what heā€™s going through is because I got bullied in school. Itā€™s not easy to know itā€™s happening to my child and I wish heā€™d never have to meet a mean person ever. But itā€™s my job to protect him and the best way to do that is to give him emotional tools to help him deal with mean people/kids that doesnā€™t lead to violence or anger or bigger problems. Iā€™m not sure if what Iā€™m doing would work for everyone but itā€™s helped him a ton and my beautiful boy is still out going and always kind and definitely strong emotionally. Plus he has a huge support system with me at his side.

Well I was always bullied in elementary school. My biological dad never pay attention so I suffer a lot. When my uncle got custody of me, I came home after being jumped at school in 4th grade on my 2nd week at my new school. I came home a mess and he walked me back to school telling me I was gonna point at who it was and I was gonna fight back with all I got or he was gonna beat me up. Thanks God all of them had left already, I was so scared. Then he started teaching mi how to throw punches with a pillow and put me to practice with my 2 cousins ā€œhis 2 sonsā€. I learned and I used that the next time, never again after that fight. I felt confident, I was always shy and I stayed being shy but when it came to stand up for myself I became a fierce. I teach my kids to use wise words to stop others from bullying but always had told them if anyone became physical they had my permission to fight back with no consequences. Even the psychologist told me that schools do nothing to stop bullies. That the best way is for our children to step up and fight back if necessary.

Email the principal at school with the chain of events in order. Check their handbook for their bullying policy. Request a meeting at school with the child/children and their parents and yours with a police officer as well as principal and vice principal. The police officer should be able to scare the child enough. If it continues request legal action. I went thru all this with my oldest in middle school. It was so bad she was getting texts and messages no lie hereā€™s an example ā€œ I hate you, everyone hates you. You should kill yourselfā€ it came down to one kid getting arrested in high school and harassment orders being issued. I took my daughter out of school twice to get mental health because she was severely depressed. The worst part was these were kids who she thought were her friends at one point. I also, used to message these little shitbags back. Telling them to have a parent call me the following day by 5 pm if not I would be forwarding these messages to the school and they could find out that way.

Make sure your kid is actually being bullied and isnā€™t the bullied who got his. This little boy thought he could pick on my nephew cause he was short and the only black kid. My nephew socked that little fucker and his mom called the school about her son being ā€œ bulliedā€ my nephew said ā€œ I been ignoring and ignoring but I had enough ā€œ so, itā€™s not always a case of your kid being picked on.

When my daughter was younger this one little boy use to steal her glasses all the time and I finally told her to tell that little fucker he touches her glasses one more time Iā€™m coming to the school ! She did and he left her alone !
