Why are kids so fucking MEAN?!!!

My kid was getting constantly picked on at school. One day, he came home with scratches all around his throat and said one of his "friends" tried to strangle him. So I went to the school and bitched at them, figuring that should be the end of that.

He came home 3 days later with more scratches and a goose-egg on his kneecap. So his father and I gave him our blessing to retaliate. The next day, the bully grabbed him by his pantlegs and tripped him, but while he was down there, I guess he used the other boy's nutsack as his own personal punching bag.

I didn't want to raise a bully - I was on the other end of that stick growing up and it's no fun to be the one getting picked on. But I won't sit back and watch my kid get picked on and beat up because the school sucks at monitoring the children.
 
I know how it feels to be bullied, but in my school(i'm 14), its usualy "clan" wars:
when you get beat up, your friends (yes, in my school, the cool kids mix with the unpopular kids) take on the bully and the other way around. It keeps going like that for a couple of days until someone stops stricking(usualy when the teachers get involved)

the fight never happen on the bus though, because its not a school bus, its a public bus and we need to pay, but its pretty expensive when you go back and forth every day. so whe all pitch in to get a subscribtion(one month thingy) and give it to one guy that stays infront of te bus so that when the controllers get on, he distracts them so we can get off without getting cautgh. (yes, I know, its evil but hey: it developpes cooperation :D )
 
I not a parent, but don't take your kid off that bus. He needs a tuff skin, because dealing with kids in elementry school is nothing like dealing middle school or high school kids. Hell, teach him how to comeback to the jokes they make. In school kids made fun of me for my weight. I went home cryin to my dad and he said grow up and do the same to them. I did and made all of them fuckers cry.

All of the kids whose parents bailed them out right now are those annoying pompass(sp?) crybabies that tell the teachers whenever anyone says anything. Going through that shit is a right of passage for that kid. Everyone person on this site has a bully story, even those that were bullies themselves.
 
You must not have read the entire thread. You know what? Maybe we should keep pressuring everyone to stop the bullies instead of allowing it? This thick skin as you call it is only needed if kids are allowed to be straight up evil bullies. Maybe it's the bullies who need to change, and not the kids getting picked on?

If your bully kid is kicked off the bus, kicked out of school, Geee... you may have to figure out what is going wrong and change something. I like this better than your alternative, especially since her kid is disadvantaged from the start, like my brother was. Plus, once you're out of school... umm... the bullying seems to go away. Why should we continue to allow school to be a time of mental and physcial abuse?
 
Listen, I understand that it's some serious bullshit what her kid is going through but hell there have been bullies since the begining of school. Taking a bully out of school is like taking a drug dealer of the streets, as soon as you do it another one will just pop up.

And don't give me that disadvantage shit. Sheilding them from real life does not help anyone. Because as you know kids are assholes and are going to make fun of him for years to come. Better for him to learn how to deal with it sooner than later.

Dealing with bullies is a great way not to become a little Randel(if you watch reccess.)
 
Oh really. My brother had all the support in the world from our family, and he still killed himself. There were plenty of talks with him about "growing a thicker skin" for all the good it did. There are more and more people going postal at schools who were shown to have been bullied a lot. How many teen suicides are from this? Nobody knows do they, as many teens don't leave notes or don't leave notes detailing why they did it. This is a more serious issue than you seem to think my friend.
 
Sorry to hear about your brother. But I still think she should let that kid ride the bus. Some people can and cannot deal with it. But there is no way and I mean no way to stop bullying.

It's something that will always be around like taxes.
 
And so the cycle continues forever until someone dares to take a stand, and enough people cry for change that things actually do change. People used to think slavery was forever, and many other serious social issues.
 
My parents pulled us off the bus for similar reasons. Except it had more to do with racism than just bullies.

I would look deeper in to which kids are picking on them and what exactly they say to him.
 
In my sienor year some kid broght a gun to school, it was fucking scary, they shut down our school for 3 days, you can blame it on bullies or whatever but i think thats bullshit, he had just moved into our school and had only been there for a month when that happend, if he was tryign to kill poeple that were mean to him, fuck it wasent us. everyone gets bullied or picked at some point, i got picked on ALOT in jr high, like every day, poeple made fun of my last name and the fast that my parents lived poor, but my parents helped me through that time, and i had to stand up and fight for myself on several occaisons. i never had any desire to kill anyone.. poeple that commit school shootings have some serious issues, and most likey parents that dont give a fuck.

that a completly diferent thing than suicide JXCL, my best friend commited suicide in my sopphmore year, no one saw it comming, he wasent bullied, he had a beatifull girlfriend, played football, great family, lot of friends. and one day he blew his fucking head off with a shot gun, no note, no reason just gone, i think its safe to say he had some deep deppresion issues that drove him to do that..
 
My first question is why in the HELL are they putting elementary kids with Jr. High kids?! This happened to my sons. When they were in 4th grade the elementary school closed because of mold. They had the bright idea to put them in jr. high making them ride the bus with jr high kids. My sons came home with stories of older kids holding younger kids lunches out the windows and making very VERY crude comments about some of the younger kids older sisters. I got pissed and called the bus facility and went off on them. As in your situation the same response about the kids sitting in the back blah blah blah and couldn't monitor them. WE PAY THEIR SALARIES damn it and if I need my kid to ride the bus I shouldnt have to worry about incompetent bus drivers not giving a damn....My suggestion was to put all the younger kids at the front of the bus, give them ALL assigned seating and kick any kids ass off the bus for bullying. I took it as far as going to the administration office and speaking with the "higher ups". It's bad enough the kids have no seat belts and they breathe in more carbon monoxide than a suicidal teen sucking on a tail pipe but I shouldn't have to worry about something that has such a simple solution to it.
If not for your son you should do it for future children that will endure the same pain. I no longer have any of my kids riding the bus but I'll be damned if I was going to let the other kids fend for themselves when I knew if I could be the squeekiest wheel I would get the grease!!!!
HIH I'm sorry your son has gone through this and just to let you know not all kids are like that my sons actually stood up to the older kids that were saying and doing things to kids on their bus because they knew it was wrong. Give your son a big hug for me and tell him not everyone is like that!!

I know it's long but that just pissed me off. Let me know what that school is I'll help ya get some satisfaction....;)
 
Only kids with the most extreme case of the dumbfuck syndrome mess with me. The type of kids than only 'get it' after you drive their skull through a curb. No seriously.

An eye for an eye, however, do not make your boy stute to bully's level, curse back, only retaliate when you're at threat of injury.
 
Ahh-Kindergarden or whatever. I got picked on as well-even still I do get picked on. But in my "smaller" years it was the worst. My mom told me that I got dropped kicked or something in preschool. Yeah I got beat up-and my brother seems to be fallowing (he's in sixth grade).

My advice, keep your kid riding the bus and stuff-when you grow up you're use to it and it won't hurt as much when you get picked on. Either way, some how, it will happen. Be there for your kid- but don't "Protect him from the world" either.
