I repeat my earlier statement: bullies evolve from a certain personality type. If you're not following your child around day, you may not know he or she is bullying. If the school doesn't step up to stop this problem, it's going to continue.
I have had personal experience with this when our younger son was new to his school way back when (fourth grade). The school refused to help. The parents of the bullier were the nicest people but had their heads in the sand toward this problem with their child. We had to take our own steps to avoid this kid and protect our child physically and emotionally.
This is a school matter and needs to be addressed by the school. Parents of bullyers will not step up unless the school steps in.

I agree...and I am in shock at all of the naïveté shown on some of these posts. Did not most of our children grow up in the 80's and 90's.....and were we not children of the 60's and 70's???? Does no one else remember the reality of all of this?????
I remember my childhood and teen years....and I know the stories my children now tell of theirs...something's I already knew....something's I did not want to know....regardless....nothing shocks me anymore. However I still want my grandchildren to know the real life.
I want them to know the bullies are wrong and that we should defend those that are being mistreated. I want them to LOVE all people no matter who they are....no matter what they look like or what religion they practice or who they are married to or what color they are!!!!
I want them to live a life of honor and love and acceptance.....but I want them to be knowledgeable about life and I want them to know what reality...how is it that no one else remembers that last 50 years???
