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.
