being bullied

I want to talk to the parents of the bullier before taking it to the school admin staff.  Any suggestions on approach?

My son has recently been bullied by a boy in the grade above him.
We contacted the parents and they seemed to think their son was perfect and that he would never do something like that.  We then contacted the school and they contacted the authorities.  My son is in his freshmen year and this thing has blown up to be something uncontrollable and pointless.  The school admin suspended my son and the boy because they were a disruptance and it did nothing but put a bad record on my son depsite him doing nothing.
Make sure you know their rule about that kind of thing... because the school my son goes to definitly punishes anyone involved.

FIRST OF ALL YOU NEVER GO TO THE SCHOOL ONCE YOUR CHILD REACHES A CERTAIN AGE. WHEN YOU TAKE IT TO THE SCHOOL IT ONLY MAKES IT WORST ON YOUR CHILD. THE SCHOOL CANT MONITOR 2 CHILDREN OUT OF HUNDREDS, SO THEY JUST GET EVERYBODY. I WAS ONCE A CHILD IN THAT SAME SITUATION. YOU MAY NEED TO TRANSFER HIM OUT. MOST OF THE TIME WHEN A KID CONSTANTLY GETS BULLIED THEY THINK OF THERE OWN CRAZ WAYS TO HANDLE IT. IT COULD LEAD TO OVER DOSE OR SUICIDE. WE WANT NEITHER ONE OF THOSE THINGSA TO HAPPEN TO OUR CHILDREN. JUST TAKE HIM OUT AND GIVE HIM A BETTER START WITH NEW FRIENDS, OR CONTINUR TO MAKE IT BAD FFOR HIM AND HE TAKES IT OUT ON HIMSELF.

I think that's outragous an unjust why would they do that to your son he's thee innocent one and the school's now a day's are so ignorante my daughter's go to ahwahnee  middle and ever since last year when micheal mobly got beat up until he died by another student of a higher grade.the boy was known for being a bully and yet ahwahnee didnt do what i think was anough to this student infact this kid was sent home for a day for bullian two weeks prior to him beating up and killing micheal.there has got to be something done to prevent this from ever happening again.im one person one parent and maybe if anough parent's can back us up on safety maybe then our children will be safe.I had to stop this girl for almost fighting with this young girl that was simply walking home on friday not bothering anyone but being bullied by another kid that apparently has no morral's or appreciation for human life. our kid's are supposed to be safe while in school and if the school wount protect them then i guess we have to and im sure im speaking for all parent's that there's no limit's to the safety of our kid's and i know this note of mine does'nt solve your problem but i hope that with my support to this topic will give you hope because i do support you and any other parent with the same problem that we go through . Cause the school fail's to take proper measure's on safety of our children

Hi Jennserran,

I know this is probably the last thing you want to hear, but there's a very good home school book out and it's written by parents who had two super successful kids in regular school.

The high school aged boy started getting major bullied by a gang member and then word was put out to bully the younger one in elementary too. The school's response? Transfer the older child to another school. Even though he was super successful etc.

So the parents pulled both kids and started the home school process. Again, I know you don't want to hear this, but it's just more validation that the schools don't know how to deal with severe bullying.

It's funny but when my kids were in preschool, one little boy was targeting my kid and when I talked to the mom she couldn't believe it either. He finally stopped and started bugging other kids.

It's odd to me how parents do that, "not my child" thing. If someone approached me, I would want to know more.

I think it's very good that you're taking it seriously.

Good Luck.
