Yeah. It's sad. I posted a link to an article somewhere in this thread.
I don't know hopes i have found the data on bullies tends to very skewed depending on who is doing the study....which is most of the time with social studies sadly. I do agree some might be abused....but often i have found they are just brats is all a lot of the time.
It really is not the OPs job to take the weight of the world on her shoulders. She has a child who is being hurt. Her job, first and foremost is to keep him safe. How horrible would it be for her child to see her care more about another child than she cares for him. I am not saying she should not feel compassion for this child, but her FIRST responsibility should be to protect her own child. That's what parents do.
Thanks. You put it in words much better than I did.
Actually i have 3 kids and think she is pretty dead on the mark. Just jumping in for your kids never teaches them how to deal with conflict, rather you just have to run home anytime something is hard. And just because someone doesn't have kids doesn't mean their opinion should not be valued. Actually since she is young i would value her opinion over most mothers because she is not many years removed from actually dealing with bullies.
No thanks. Just because she is young and may remember having dealt with bullies doesn't mean her advice is right.
Thanks. You put it in words much better than I did.
Are you saying that your mind is set? And you don't want to take 15 minutes to write a simple letter?
Are you also saying that you don't see how calling the police will make things worse for your children throughout the years living in the same neighborhood?
No thanks. Just because she is young and may remember having dealt with bullies doesn't mean her advice is right.
No but then again you shouldn't just dismiss it outright because of her age either. I don't think your handling of the situation is correct but wouldn't avoid any advice you gave me after either.
Why are you picking on me here. Anyways tell me how you would handle this situation. What should I do? Should I tell me son to go up to David and beat the crap out of him?
