Been bullied

April 17, 2018 8:22pm CST
My daughter came home from school today and said that she had been bullied ,this is been going on for quite some time I spoke with her over and over on way she can handle the situation walking away, ignoring inappropriate behavior, and speaking with an adult in charge, and always be the bigger person and the situation. Anyone has any suggestions on how to handle bullies?

You should let the teachers know, and see what can be done. If she's too shy to speak to an adult, you may have to do that yourself. My mother did so, though speaking to a teacher didn't change things. Some bullies don't stop when ignored, some continue until they get a reaction. If you could teach her ways to counterattack, witty comments would be awesome, but beating them up wouldn't be bad either. Well, it would be nice if she managed to avenge all the bullied kids of the past. It would also help to make friends in the environment, maybe some peer who cares about your daughter and will defend her somehow, or comfort her, at the very least. It's hard when you're alone. If students had more group activities, I think bullying would be less common, as you get to know your classmates better, and not judge them for how they look, or whatever works as trigger for bullies. I have no clear suggestions to give, it's something I gotta think thoroughly.

I made a list once... I was instructed by the principal to do so, and take it to him... but in the end, I filled up the piece of paper and realized I was over-doing it. However, people did start to get nicer to me. lol

That's why I spoke with teachers and administration. And it continues to happen Is becoming a bit stressful for me. I guess it's time to start requesting to talk to parent, and see if that'll help even a bit

i think its time you stepped in as a parent and took action maybe involving the other parents to put a stop to the bullying. children who grow up being bullied grow up with no confidence and always being in fear.

@Chazzygal most definitely I'm going to the school today to speak with the Administration once again. And try and bring this to an end. I'm going to keep everyone posted on the outcome

I'm a little bit of an over protective parent. If you alerted school and they didn't fix it? Consider legal actions against parents. In many areas they are starting to fine parents of bullies. By no means am I gonna sit complacent while my kid can't experience school bully free. To many kids kill them self or each other because of bullies. Its a team effort to fix the problem.

Go and visit her class teacher in person and tell her about this matter.

My daughter was bullied in school from the very beginning. Many times the same kids bullied her when all she was doing was playing by herself and enjoying it. I told her to stand up for herself. I normally don't approve of violence but I do believe in self defence in whatever way it takes. One day I got a call from another parent of a child I know who bullied my daughter. This parent told me that my daughter punched her daughter. At first I couldn't believe it because my daughter was never a one to hit back, so for her to do so, the other girl provoked it somehow. I tracked my daughter down at another friend of hers and asked her if she punched the girl. When she told me she did, I was elated! (She thought I'd be mad) "GOOD!", I told her over the phone.

At the end of the day it boils down to the same thing they have to protect themselves Especially when it seems there's no one to turn to
