[QUOTE="Andy, post: 218524, member: 5096"] And I am sure the little name caller was not confronted about his part in this? He should get into trouble for calling names. That is how bullies get their start - they verbally harass and then their victim gets in trouble by trying to stop the harassing. That empowers the bully who will grow into more and more cruel behavior. Let your difficult child know that everytime he fights back the "bully" gets to win. The bully goes home and laughs that difficult child got in trouble. When I was about 8 - 9 yrs old, the kids on the bus would try to get me to fight. I would always reply, "You can't get me mad enough!" I would ignore everything they said knowing they were just words made up to get me mad. The more frustrated they got, the more I would laugh and say, "Nope, not mad!". They soon gave up on me and moved to someone else to harass. School busses do not have supervision and have become training grounds for bullys and torture chambers for victims. And we all know it is the victim who will be punished because "Kids will be kids - let them call each other names and tease each other - what does it hurt?" attitude from too many in leadership roles. So, kids are allowed to be as mean and rotten as they want as long as they don't destroy property or physically harm someone. Too many leaders think that mental anguish is not important. [/QUOTE]
