My son had been bullied to the point of begging me to homeschool. Here is what I did to stop the bullying. I talked to a counselor outside of the school district. I was told that I needed to start with the teacher and follow the ladder up to school counselor, principle, superintendent if nothing was done. To me that seemed like a waste of time and would take too long to solve the situation. So, I went right to the principle, told him what was happening and told him I had already spoken to a lawyer. I told him I wanted it to stop NOW or I would be following up with further legal action. Needless to say, it was addressed that same day and the bullying has stopped. Bullying is taken quite seriously by schools because of the threat of the child taking matters into their own hands and basically taking the bully out permenantly or taking themself out permenantly. Talk to your child, be there for them and you need to be the one to take the active role and stop it NOW. Talking to the other childs parents is a waste of time. The kid learned it somewhere.
