Our youngest daughter was bullied terribly in the first yr of secondry school,,,,it broke my heart ..
it was one of her friends that told us...
luckily,(if thats the right word).. the school my daughters attend do take bullying very seriously . they tackled the problem with compasion ..
i did go round to 2 of the girls homes an spoke with their parents .. too say i was angry is an understatement!!
she is in the 3rd yr now (yr 10) an is very happy at school..
i hope you get yr son gets the support from school that he deserves..xxxx

Oh Marcelle, how my heart bleeds for you.

What a load of little sh,,s these kids are.

Poor little mite, lots of love to him.

Honestly Ann
Children of 14 and 15 are nearly ready to leave school and get jobs. Picking on an eleven year old for goodness sake. I feel sick to my stomach
I have such mixed emotions of sadness, hurt and anger. I hope the school is going to sort it asap. The thing is when they get to senior school you dont get the parent/teacher contact as much as junior school.
I will let you know what happens

Thanks Pammy...

Oh how I feel for you - my son was bullied all through his school years and I could get no one to take any notice of me - it was a miserable time and we were all so happy when he left school. We took him away the last year and sent him to a private school for all our sakes. I do hope this teacher sorts it for you.

Thanks Sue

I can't understand the mentality of these bullies. I can't believe my son hasn't told me. I have always told him he can talk to me about anything

If some one had bruised me in the street the way he has been bruised they would be had up for assault

Sorry Marcelle I can't offer any advice cos my three didn't suffer.

I can appreciate how much it upsets you though, we are all the same when one of our children have been physically or emotionally hurt.

I am sure somebody with good advice will help you soon.

Good luck

I have just sat here and had a good cry.
My 11 year old son started secondry school in September. All throughout Junior school he has been a popular boy with tons of friends.

He had some trouble last week in school where some one knocked him to the ground, he bumped his head after falling in the gravel and it made him cry. Because he cried everyone was singing "dry your eyes mate". I picked him up from school today as I had to get my younger son as well and he told me a gang of 6 boys in year 11 (ages 14 to 15) had grabbed him and squeezed his nipples until he cried. A lady approached me and asked if I was Callums mum. Turns out she was a teacher and asked me if I knew about the bullying and that she would not tolerate it and that she had reported it etc. Turns out its been going on for weeks and he hasn't told me as he is scared I will go to the school. On one occassion 4 year 11 boys picked him up and carried him half way to their houses! I have just looked at his chest and I can't believe the bruises. Its making me cry but I dont want him to see me crying.

What should I do. I want to go up there and rip their faces off but that brings me to their level. How can I send him back to school knowing this is happening. Lucky he has tomorrow off and I have parents eve tomorrow night

Please if anyone has dealt with bullying I really need advice

Marcelle
