Is there a school bullying policy? They might be required to follow up on any bullying requests. If not, point out to him what the consequences could be if they don't follow up. They'll realize that it's in their best interest to take this seriously.
I'm sorry your son is going through this and am sorry that the school is making the situation harder by not taking it seriously.
Last year my ds called another boy a girl in his 3rd grade class. The mother called and reported this to me in which we took immediate action. He was required to apologize, write letters to the student and the teachers. Now he is being bullied, this has gone on for a month. Being called a girl, a homo, a big hairy penis ect. The boy in particular tells my son that he is weak and that is the reason he is picking on him. Took his ipod and was throwing it around. The list goes on and on. We have contacted the school and the boys in question are denying this all. Due to ds history of blurting, exaggerating, and being the class clown I am having a hard time convincing the teacher and principal that this is happening. Ds very rarely tells on other kids! Doesn't like to get people into trouble but has come home in tears asking us to help this stop. How do we get people to really listen and not just think because Jacob has adhd that he must be the one lying or exaggerating. I am so frustrated!!!!I had to reply to this one.....My son has been bullied for years by the same child and his father is a principal at another school. EVERY incident we have is reported to the school in e-mail form...that way a record is kept. Not only do we have 3 years worth of documentation on the child that is the same age as my oldest, his younger brother has now started picking on my younger son.
The bullies younger brother lost as award at school due to the reports of him bullying my son on the playground, telling other children that they cannot participate in things if they talk to my son or associate with him. Last week, he was in trouble for grabbing my sons pencil he bought with his own money, snapping it and throwing it back in my sons face on the bus.
So, where do the kids get this from? Well, last week I was standing at the bus stop minding my own business and the mother of these two comes out and talks to another mother ignoring me, until the kids get off the bus. Then, with the kids watching, she proceeds to tell me that she is tired of her kids being blamed for everything, they are not always the agressors. I reminded her that my children have not been sent to guidance, been to the principal or had one bus referral in all the years we have been there.......she stormed off.
Makes you wonder......this woman is either in complete denial or she truly doesnt care that her children are bullies that she is unable to control. I sincerely hope that they simply sell their home and move soon....one can only dream....
