I know. :( I swear... I dislike any kids but my own. And I know that's ugly to say.

So what do you as a parent do when somebody bullies your kid?

I tell him that he shouldn't let it get to him. And that I know what it's like to be bullied. It's a sucky, sucky thing. Most times, kids bully others because they got someone doing the same to them or they want to seem cool. :(

I also tell the school about it since I don't know who it is bullying him. One of his aunts tends to go to the school and tell them off/find the parents and tell them off. I don't think that does much good though. If anything, it could make the kids tease him more.

I would think that most good teachers try to keep an eye out for stuff like that.
There have been so many tragic things that have happened because of bullying.

Yeah. I believe most of the bullying for Tyler has been on the school bus. The bus driver has talked to them but I don't know what good it has done.

There's not much bus drivers can do...they have to watch the road...

Oh, I know. It's why I feel that it's my responsibility to tell my boys not to bully and to explain why others do it. The teachers and other adults at the school should keep an eye for it. But most kids do it when no one else is around. So I can't expect the teachers to know everything. But I do expect them to handle it once they do find out.

Mind if I join the Conversation?

I was never bullied.

I was mostly just ignored, which can be as bad when you're a young female wanting friends.

Hello, Divine. Sure, feel free to do so.

Sure, DV...join us!

Oh, being ignored is just as bad, I feel. :(

How are you all doing today? ^^

I am doing pretty good. How about you?

Doing good, DH...

How's it with you?

We're talking about bullying.

I'm doing good :)
Surprisingly not sleep despite the fact that I got no sleep last night.
Ah, Bullying is evilll,
I was bullied from elementary-middle school,
it finally stopped in high school ^^

Bullying didn't stop for me until I got out of high school. Some of it, I feel, was unintentional. But there was people who seemed to really love doing it. :/

Yeah I just ignored most of it :/.
Sometimes it was really hard, but I managed to get through it.
When I attending charter school the bullying for me stopped and everyone was really nice.

College was the best.

People were there to learn, because they were paying for it...

I'm not going to college,
I couldn't afford to go and the scholarship I was supposed to get was given to someone else

I had to drop out myself from the community college due to transportation issues. I need to go back eventually.

The bus goes to both the community and university college, where I live, plus they're only about 2-3 miles from my house ^^

I would have loved that if it was here. xD

I live very close to Downtown and both are in the Downtown area,
Once I get a job I'm going to take a few classes at the Community College ^^

I live out in the sticks, so to say. :) I've been thinking of taking an online course though. Community colleges are nice. They don't cost as much and I think you get the same learning experience.
