Have his dad teach him a good right hook. I'm not saying that violence should be the answer to all problems, but many times, the only thing that will teach a bully to back off is a bloody nose.
Well, what's the situation? Is it one kid, multiple kids? Are they on the bus, at the park, in school? Are there adults around or is it a kid-only situation?
It was one kid who rallied other kids to tease, but the main culprit actually put his hands on my son and so, of course, I must elimante him.
Ok seriously that did happen, but we talked to every single adult connected; the bus driver, the principal, the teacher, the kid's parents and we think the physical threat will subside, but I think the verbal teasing might pick up again. My heart is broken for my son for being bullied:(
eliminate...
I have weapons.
(((Gabe)))
It sounds like he is going to need to figure out how to respond. Is it best not to respond, or to respond in kind? I don't know. I just know it's terrible when our children go out into the world and we're helpless to make things right. Hang in there. xoxox
Want me to kick that little shits ass? He'd probably stop dead in his tracks if he saw me running towards him with a tree branch in my hand. lol
I kid of course.
Bullies suck. I was an easy target when I was your sons age. One positive thing it does is that it builds character later in life. My dad tried to get me to fight back, but I'm just not a fighter, I'm not into hitting people, so it was hard for me. Nowadays, I'd rip the jerk apart anyway I could.
Oh, does Gabe take martial arts? That also builds confidence too.
My parents taught me to ignore the taunts, tell a teacher or adult the first time they lay a hand on you and the second time, beat the living shit outta the kid including kicking him while he's on the ground.
Luckily growing up I only ran into 3 times I had to deal with kicking the crap out of someone. Mostly I just ignored the taunts and eventually they got bored and went away.
SJ - I did tell Terry to teach Gabe how to punch.
Marie - yes, what I've read said they have to learn to handle it on their own, without violence. I have to say though, if Gabe is ever hit, I hope he hits back...
Silver - actually Gabe just started in Tae Kwon Do and he's faced every single kid that has bullied him, so I think he'll find his strength eventually.
HH6 - ONLY three? :) I actually never fought in high school, though a few girls tried to throw down with me, I always found a way out of it...
