I know EXACTLY what you are going thru....I lived in that world from the time my son was 6 years old, all the way through school, grades 1-12, as well as kids in the neighborhood, etc. He had his lunch money stolen from him at the bus stop.....the little bast&*$s told him it was "bus fee"....they jumped him in the hallways at school and took his money....they did all kinds of cruel things to him....I tried to teach him how to fight, tried to do everything I could think of.....nothing worked...same reasons your son gives you, I have heard over and over. It was when they had jumped him in the hallway, threatened him, and took his lunch money, he went to the office and reported it like I had told him to do....then he asked if he could borrow $2.75 so he could eat. Those slugs in the office refused to loan the kid the money....they chose to let him go hungry....and when I picked him up, he had tremors and a migraine headache from not eating all day long. When he finally told me what had happened, I went slap dab nuts....I tore into the office and demanded answers and shamed all of them standing there...then I called the Pasadena police and told them my son had been attacked and robbed on school property, money had been stolen, and I wanted to press charges. Long story short, HUGE scene, I pressed charges against the kid and his parents, and the school, and threatened the teachers in the office that allowed my child to be attacked on school property and did NOTHING to correct the problem. Never happened again, I can assure you of that.

I just started an anti bullying chapter at our school. I never volunteer to sponsor things but was so drawn to this. It is called Stand For the Silent. I hate seeing anyone being bullied whether its a child or an adult. Bullying is just wrong.

I wrote a really long post but just could not post it. I was bullied from 2nd grade until 8th when I stopped going to school it was bad. I was hospitalized for cutting and suicide attempts twice.

Taylor send me that story! I would love to share it during a Stand for the Silent meeting if you don't mind. If we help one kid it would be worth it! If you don't mind sharing send it my way.

The commercial just tears me up inside every time I see it !!!

I started out and wrote a long post but since I was not logged in it disappeared. Will write something later when I have more time. It was the whole reason for my thread.

When I tried to post it it just went to a white screen and than I saw that only part of it was there so I deleted it myself. Here is the commercial footage.

Bullying Prevention Campaign to Empower Parents Launches During National Bullying Prevention Month

The boy being bullied looks somewhat like my son Shane who has been bullied since he was in elementary school. Every time I see that commercial I cant help it but to cry. The first time I saw it I sat and sobbed like a baby because I knew that that is the type of stuff that my son deals with all the time. He's going into the 7th grade this year and I fear that it will continue. It usually starts on day one and continues all year. My son has come home in tears, angry, and for months even hungry because of it. He has had his face smashed into the side of the widow on the bus and his glasses broke. I have told him multiple times that what these boy are dong is bulling and he needs to speak up and tell someone when it is happening. He makes excuses for them saying it was an accident, they didn't mean it or they are my friends. He has told me a few details of things that have happened throughout the years but only after I threatened to grown him. Usually he will not tell me, he just keeps it to himself. so how can I help.

He is such a shy 12 yr old boy with very little friends all younger than he is. He is in many ways so smart but at the same time very young for his age. He is just so easy going, up til this summer he was small for his age which makes him a target. He is a straight A student who is on the honor roll for the past 4 yrs. I just am at a loss when it comes to what to do to convince him that this is not right and that those boys are not his friends. I just feel like going to school and screaming "Get YOUR F-ing hand Off My KID"

I just feel so useless as a parent that I cant do anything to protect him if he wont tell me what is going on or who is responsible how can I report it. The few times that I was able to get the truth out of him and contacted the school they only spoke to the offender. Nothing more. How is that teaching this bully a lesson when he only got a slap on the hand.

Oh my gosh Dawn. I wish he was at my school. We have a no tolerance bullying policy and they would be severely punished for it. That is so sad. I'm going to send you a PM with someone to contact for ideas on how to help. I will pray this stops. Your school district should be ashamed for letting this go on.

I really thought by law schools must be doing something to combat bullying, but that may be in my state. What kids have to endure today with bullying is far greater than before with social media, camera phones, YouTube, and other outlets. Most people think of physical bullying, but psychological bullying can be far more damaging. We are having our incoming eighth graders reading Bystander this summer, and I'm also reading Wonder to possibly read with my English class. I am very soft spoken and easy going with my students, but they know I will not tolerate even very subtle bullying.

I took an online bullying class, and we had to watch Odd Girl Out. It was wonderful!

I'm so sorry your son has to cope with bullying. I can help, too, if you need some more resources. Does your school have a social worker that he could talk with? At least then he'd realize it's not only him, and she might help him with strategies to cope with the bullies.

Anderson Cooper came to my school four times and spoke with our students about bullying. They were then featured on his show when he did a weeklong segment. His findings were very interesting.

Two of my 3 sons were bullied until they were in the 5th grade. That was the end of elementary school. When they each were heading to middle school, we transferred them to a private school. It was the best thing we could have done. It is very expensive though. Otherwise we would have transferred them berfore 6th grade.

Kids can be so cruel. And when the school staff looks the other way....it makes my blood boil!!

I'm sorry for what you went through Taylor. I'm glad you were able to be taken away from the situations you were in.

And Dawn, as a mom watching it and having no control is the most helpless feeling. We took my youngest to see a psychologist for a long time. It really helped him. I don't know if that is an option for you. But, it really did help him.

Thank you for the info ladies.... I will look over it when I get a chance and see if possibly there is something there that I can share with my son to give him the tools he needs to fight against the bullying.

Yes, our schools do have a No Tolerance policy but the teachers can not be there every second of every day. They stand outside their door when the kids are switching classes and monitor the halls and cafeteria. But sadly it is not enough. Plus when you have a child like my son who will no tell there is not much the school system can do. I will call the school to see what type of system they have in place for the kids and if there are any support groups for both the kids and parents.

We have a phone number students can call and report bullying anonymously. You might suggest something like this to your district as well.
