Kids are so cruel, i'm sorry to hear this! But it really is best to tell the school, ask teachers to be discreet and just keep there eyes peeled for anything rather than them go to the bullies like a bull in a china shop to accuse them! The bullies need to be caught in the act so they know your son didn't grass on them, once they are caught they should be punished and teachers will also make sure they leave your son alone! This method should mean no repurcussions for your son. Good luck with this!

I don't know how well off you are, but look into private schools. I started off in one and it was one of the best things that has happened to me, small classes, nice kids, and good teachers who wouldn't let bullying happen. Or, enroll in him tons of sports/a karate class to make him stronger and more confident. Then, people will hopefully leave him alone if he can defend himself. Also, don't worry about the grades that much. I did pretty awful in 4th grade (bc I was put into public school), but now I'm a junior in high school with As and Bs, at a hard private school. But seriously, look into a different school. Scholarship money is out there! I'm going on a almost full one, so do some research, especially for junior high (bullies are the worst then).

Talk to you son to see if he know the real reason they are bothering him. But I think that you really should go and see his teacher principle and the parents of those other boys. being kicked in your private is a very serious issue that should be dealt with by adults.Saying that I will also say your son may just have to fight with them because once you go to school it may get worse for your son. So prepare your son to stand up for himself if it comes to fighting than maybe that is the only way your son will earn respect from them as well as others. I forgot you should also find out if they have been bullying other kids as well and the school can handle that problem.

Kids are so mean! I would lose it if this was happening to my daughter or if she was the one doing it!! I say go to the school and talk to the teacher of your sons class as well as the other class, principle, and the other childrens parents. The adults need to know so something is done to punish the children for doing what they are to your son and probably more children. You need to try and get your son to tell his teacher evey time it happens so they are aware. Maybe keep a teacher around him all the time for awhile...not right next to him or anything. If none of this works or he is just that terrified of doing anything about it, then try to place him in another school. I don't believe in fighting but put him in a karate class if he is afraid of the other boys and what they do if you decide to talk to the school that way it builds his confidence up. Good luck!!

Go talk to his Teacher and also the Principal. Tell them that if they don't control the situation you will call the cops.

go to the principal and let them know what happened and is happening with grades and you need them to do something to those kids. and get going and don't tolerate this they can and should do something they can expell them also

Help for the Victims

Victims of bullying, particularly the young, face a difficult challenge—that of maintaining balance under pressure. When someone bullies you, he is probably eager to throw you off balance emotionally. He is hoping that you will resort to extremes of anger or show terror. If you fly into a fit of rage or burst into tears and express hurt or fear, the bully is getting what he wants. So he may try to provoke the same reaction again and again.

What can you do? Consider the following suggestions. They are written primarily with the young in mind, but the principles may also apply to adults dealing with bullies.

▪ Keep cool. Don’t give in to rage. When your temper is out of control, you give the bully power over you, and you are likely to do things you will only regret

▪ Try to put thoughts of revenge out of your mind. Vengeance often backfires. At any rate, revenge is not really satisfying. One girl, who was beaten up by five youths when she was 16 years old, recalls: “I decided in my heart, ‘I will get even with them.’ So I got some help from my friends and took revenge on two of my attackers.” The result? “I was left with an empty feeling,” she says. And her own conduct worsened afterward.

▪ When things appear to be getting heated, get away quickly. In general, try to steer clear of those who tend to bully.

▪ If bullying persists, you may need to speak up for yourself. Choose a moment when you are calm, look the bully in the eye, and speak in a firm, level voice. Tell him that you don’t like what he is doing—that it is not funny and that it hurts. Do not resort to insults or challenges

▪ Talk to a responsible, caring adult about the bullying. Be specific about the problem, and ask for help in handling it.

▪ Remember that you have value as a person. The bully might want you to think that you don’t matter, that you deserve to be treated badly. But he is not your judge.

Parents—Protect Your Children

Parents too can start early in preparing their children to deal wisely with bullies. They can, for example, use role-playing games with their children to demonstrate how to project a sense of confidence.

Even physical posture—standing up straight—can send a subtle message that dissuades some bullies. Making eye contact, keeping hands and arms relaxed, and speaking in a firm, steady voice may help too. Parents are urged to teach their child to walk away, to avoid bullies, and to ask a trustworthy adult for help, such as a schoolteacher.

Eliminating bullying behavior starts with educating the family. Parents who make themselves available to their children, listening patiently and empathetically to their concerns, instill in them a feeling that they are wanted, supported, and loved. Many professionals in the field of parenting and peer problems urge parents to provide their children with a positive view of themselves. Such a healthy outlook reduces their appeal as targets in the eyes of bullies.

But more is involved than simply talking. Each member of the family needs to learn to treat others with respect and dignity and to cultivate empathy. So do not tolerate any bullying behavior in your household. Make your home a safe haven, where respect and love prevail

Change his school.
