I would teach him/her how to stand up for themselves, running away or ignoring it will not make it better.

I was backed into a corned a couple times in high school. The last time it happened, I came out swinging. It never happened again. I told my child to do the same, but she is scared to death of getting into trouble. I cannot get through to her that as long as she allows the bullying to continue to happen, that she will continue to be a victim. I don't condone violence, but if they continue to hurt her, she has the right to defend herself.

stompin the kids dad is another form of Bullying and teaches your kid what? Was just all over the news about that young Gal committed suicide because she was bullied so badly .I know we can't over protect our kids ,they have to learn to stand up for themselves but comes a time when Parents NEED to step in ,go to the School ,have the school organize a meeting of all the Parents. Have more anti bullying workshops in the Schools . Our neighborhood is having logo's made up that Police screened Adults can put in their windows so kids who are being bullied have a safe place to get to. It takes a whole Village to raise a child . Sorry this is long but it pushed my buttons

And that is one of my worst fears. I don't want her to become a statistic.

If it occurs at school, you have to report it to the guidance counselor and constantly follow-up the case. Also, support your child and let him/her feel it in times like this.

They are supposed to have an anti-bullying policy that is in effect. So many of these teachers turn their heads. My daughter is the leader of one school club and belongs to two others. She fears that she will be kicked out of them due to fighting or what not. I wish she would just stand up for herself.

She could do so without fighting as well as maintaining her status into clubs. At least report it. Bullying is a serious violation into any school. Also, advice your child to always go with a group of friends at school. There is power in numbers.

I would go to the school and have a talk with the bully's parents and if my kid wanted to switch schools, i would do it. I was bullied and i would have killed to switch schools. Instead i turned to self mutilation and wouldnt want my kids to do that.. good thing i dont ever want kids lol

I'm sorry you were bullied. For years, kids have been bullied. However, the utensils that kids have for bullying now are much worse than they were when I was a kid. Please take care of yourself.
