To get back on topic...
The rise of the internet has spiralled bullying in a different direction, it can be relentless, and for many kids it can cause huge problems.
This is how bullying used to be sorted....
When my son was just 11, recently started senior school, he was bullied by a couple of older boys on the bus coming home.
One ordered him to get up and give him his seat, son refused, the lad grabbed him and threw him off the seat (this boy and his mate were 14, much bigger than my son) anyway, my son was thrown to the floor he banged his head. It made him feel sick, so he got off the bus at the next stop and walked the couple of miles home. In the dark, in winter.
We found this out after a couple more incidents' where the older lads, one in particular, went after my son... after repeatedly questioning my son, because I knew something was up, all this came out.
We phoned school to complain, nothing was done.
We went in to see the headmaster, the bully was apparently quite the student, we were told he had denied everything, so the head decided no further action would be necessary....in fact, the onus seemed to be on my son to keep out of his way...hard to do when bully was seeking him out after school.
My husband went to pick son up from school the next week, waited for the older kids to come out, asked who this certain kid was who was doing the bullying, as he walked out, my husband confronted him, said "Hi, I'm *****'s dad,,' if you so much as look at my lad the wrong way again, you will know about it" the kids classmates were loving this, the lad almost lost control of his bladder, he scarpered quick.
End of bullying.
Sadly, it's not so easy to sort nowadays.
