Chimmy,


Wow, after reading what you said, I think schools should step up their bully awareness programs. Because if they treat such matters as trivialities, it will do both parties (the bullied and the bullies) no good in the long run. What the english teacher did to your son was not helpful in the least bit.

I think the most basic thing parents can do is to teach their children to report to their teachers if they get bullied by other students, and not keep it to themselves. And also to not hang around with kids who have a penchant for beating others up.


Like some posters suggested, self-defense classes sound great too…
