[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 364156, member: 4040"] My daughter was the target of bullying as well. It started getting bad in the fifth grade, and was really bad in the sixth. I gave her permission to fight back, since I felt the school wasn't doing all it could to correct the situation. The rules I set were that she couldn't start the fight, either verbally or physically, and she couldn't throw the first punch. She was also to clearly tell the bully to leave her alone, at the top of her voice, if necessary. After she landed a few good solid punches while screaming, "Leave me alone!", things improved. Every time the school called, I reminded them that we had been asking for help, and since they hadn't done all I felt they should, Miss KT had my permission to solve it herself. I am not advocating violence, and I realize this solution may not fit for you. I had a good relationship with the principal, so Miss KT was not suspended, even though the school was "zero tolerance." However, knowing that she had my permission to fight back helped her self-esteem and made her feel better about trying to solve problems with her words. [/QUOTE]
