Nobody wants to play with him -LOOONG

Oh Serenity. You just got me all teary.

I feel so guilty about not talking to him about his problem but just went ballistic when i heard he gave his money to other kids.

Tonight, i will hug him and apologise for being so nasty yesterday.

I will make an appt with the school as it is intolerable. I am so fed up with the kids at this school but i have no other option because we both work.

I swear, sometimes i wish that he was never gifted. It is soooooo hard to deal with. I just want him to be a normal kid.

This brought tears to my eyes, my daughter was a victim of bullying last year, once she got off the bus and burst into tears coz a BIG (little) girl told her she was going to give her a black eye if she got on the bus on monday, and another time she rwas phisically pushed to the ground with her hands behind her back, these kids that done this are HUGE kids, i mean they are only the same age but 6 times miahs size, anyway I ended up having to actually go to the principal and threaten to take her out of the school and send her to the private school if he didnt step up to the plate, so i suggest u go down there and really put your foot down, schools are getting too lazy with bullying policies

My DS is the most non-violent kid i have ever seen. Not one bad bone in his body. He is always fair to his playmates and it breaks my heart when other kids just aren't friendly, caring or sharing as he is. DH and i know that he needs to toughen up but he can't and won't because it is not in him. He doesn't even play fight.

He was bullied last year at school too. He come home once covered in sand, another day with tan bark in his hair. I am just soooo over it.

I will make an appt with the school principle and threaten to take him as honestly i have had it. I will DH with me because knowing me i'll start to cry.

Bullying is definitely not on and should not be taken lightly. These kids who bully will become violent adults, i believe.

My DD is exactly the same, and she is constantly bullied. I think that the other more dominant children see her as an "easy target". Don't feel bad for losing the plot, I used to aswell, but after my DH and I would go and chat to her together.

We used to role play, what she could have done. We told her that people will treat you like this for the rest of her life if she allows them to. We were quite blunt. I said that no matter how many schools you change to, or when you leave school, in the work places, there are always nasty people. I believe one of the best lesson we can teach our child is not to run away, but stand up and let these people know (adults can be nasty too) that there behaviour is not going to be tolerated.

Oh hon, I didn't know he was actually being bullied, poor little mite...

Kids taking balls will always happen, they are kids, but if kids there are bullying him, then it must stop!!

Make your principal listen, and if he takes it too lightly, tell him you may have to go higher up than him if he cant control his students.

No child should have to put up with bullying children, it not only affects the bully long term, but the damage to your own precious boy could be quite severe long term too...

Stand firm babe, they must listen to you!!

I have not been able to make an appt with the Principal as yet but i am working on it.

DS told me that his teacher took both my son and the boys involved into another room and spoke to them about what happened was not right etc.. My DS was found to be in the wrong, but the kid who took the money was not! The teacher asked the boy as to what he did with the money and he declared that he went and bought his mum a gift from the mother's day stall I was so upset.

what i don't get is wouldn't you as a mother ask your child where he got the money for to buy you a gift??

How do i argue my case at school when my DS is found to be in the wrong.

Aaaaaaaagh. I really don't know.

I would speak to his teacher, and find out why she thinks your son is in the wrong. You need all the facts.

Then take them to the principal, and make him do something about it!!!

I just found this thread and it has me in tears...your poor little man, my heart is breaking for him...and you.

I would definitely be trying to find out WHY the teacher is saying your DS is in the wrong, that is just so unfair! Are there any older kids you know from the school who could be his 'buddy' and keep an eye out for him at school.
