thats just...stupid on the womens behalf! i was picked on from grade 3 right though to year 12. both in and out of school.

so BR i can honestly say i can understand where your son stood. in year 12 i snapped. shoved a girl into a wall, and i reported myself to a teacher. the dept. principal tried to have me suspended. despite the fact i'd reported being bullied to several teachers - they blamed me. the bully? well she walked away with a bruised shoulder and a dented ego. i walked away knowing she'd gotten her come uppance. i dont condone violence, walk away and ignore often works, but some times -sadly- people need that proverbial kick up the bum to open their eyes...and im sure your son has opened these others boys eyes right up.

complain, and very loudly too. no one has the right to tell you that your son is being bullies because of 'medical' issues. let alone "issues at home" if there is none. they need to look into the bully as chances are they have issues. if want some one to talk to, im happy to listen.
