If I were being bullied at school, with all that I know at my ripe age of 35, I am still not sure I could make it any better for myself.....my little boy has been having a hard time the last three weeks fitting back into his class after our time away. Today his teacher rang me and said we have to help him as he is stuck on getting 'back together' with his best friends - they don't want to know and are visibly enjoying his misery. Its been a painful night telling him he has to pretend not to care and shrug it off and move on etc. I feel like we have to condition our kids to be tough and hide feelings at school and then as adults we are supposed to be sensitive and show how we really feel in relationships...bah and other stronger words. I tried to cheer him up with "at least your mum has a decent wardrobe" jokes but is has not gone down well. More stock shoots tomorrow and another one to one lesson at the apple shop - I like the whizz kids in there. Love Samaya xxx

Bullies

Hello from France! Reading what your son's teacher said about the fact that you have to help your son, I want to say it's his job too, it's the job af all the adults who surround him; when he is at school you are not there. And I think it's up to him to say:"Stop it!" to the children. Without negociations or blah, blah, about:"You have to respect others and be nice with them, and how would you feel if you were the one left out....". There is a very good video on Youtube made by a former (or currently)policeman where he says:"Once, twice, strike!" As a mother I have been confronted to this and things stopped when the children heard their teacher say:"Now, you stop or we go further than this!" I may sound very "hard" but bullying is one of the things that most revolt me. Hoping for the best for your son.
Me again, just to say I quoted that policeman badly; it is: "Strike once, strike twice, you're out!". The videos (there are two) are on watch.mojo and are entitled Steps to fighting a bully.
