If i were you, I would keep your son with a helmet on for his safety and for the getting picked on part, dont worry too much becuase they are still only 11 and immature. If it gets really serious and makes your son really upset and stuff, I'd go talk to his teacher about it and the parents of the people who are picking on your son, and you should ask your sons teacher to talk to them why wearing a helmet while riding a bike is important!
 
make him wear it!!

Your son is 11 years old. He'll go to high school soon (or is already in it) and will make lots of other new friends. Chances are the people picking on him are also 11, which means they're immature and don't know what they're talking about (no offence to good 11 year olds). Why should you let your responsible parenting be diminished by their parents' attitude towards their kids' safety?

Make him wear that helmet. A few moronic remarks are better than having him fall off his bike and split his head open. What you did is right!
 
Well the helmet is for safety

Basically its a few insults towards him emotionally hurting him

Or a huge cut on his head, or an accident that can lead to something serious

I say let him keep it on
 
you tell your son that the people that don't wear helmets end up very badly hurt or even dead.
Kids are so mean to others. I would make him wear it. it's your son.. You will only get one son like that, heaven forbid something happens when he is not wearing his helmet.
I wear a helmet when im on my bike. Im sure people may make fun of me too but at least im protecting myself.
 
We all survived without them.

Your son should do what he feels comfortable with. It's a question of maturity. If he's not inclined to being reckless, and acts responsibly, let him try it. If he's not ready for that, then you decide for him.
He may end up feeling more comfortable with it on anyway. That's what happened with my kids.
