Some people really have a way annoying other people. They seem to enjoy making fun of others. I don't if they have a conscience. They simply would pick on a person and bully him around. My 13-yr old son has complained to me about a certain neighbor, he told me that he always teases him. I told him to just avoid him but my neighbor would still go after him. My son told me that he's just keeping his cool but he'd soon reach his limit. He said he's just waiting for the right moment...he'll give him a kick of life time. My son is a junior black belt taekwondo athlete and I don't want him to hurt anybody. What advice can I give him? How can he keep his cool.

Everybody has his limit,so i suggest we'd better tolerate some people as they did not reach our limit,but,if they are too over,just give him some warns to see,well,when i occur such kind of things,i just avoid and if that doesn't work,then.Just let him see your taekwondo.

jsae how come you have not talked to this bullying neighbor yourself as the parent, even if your son is a junior blackbelt taekwondo
why put him to the test? also if the man persists you can make
a complaint to the police and have a restraining order taken out
'on him too.but perhaps a good kick of the life time might just'be what he needs.your son has been trained in how to handle this so I do not think he would hurt the man but just scare the hell out
of him. lol .lol.Really though that man might be a pedophile so do report him to the police as a normal man would not be acting that way at all to a 13year old boy.

Tell your son to look him in the eye and seriously ask him 'Are you a pedophile?' If the man asks him why he asked him that let him say that he is always harassing him and he is a child, not the mans age group. The man will be so shocked he will never speak another word to him. He will be afraid that people will think that he is one and will want to avoid that at all costs. If your son looses his temper and hurts him he might end up in juvenile court.

This is more about self discipline.
As long as your son never bother them, never respond or react to what they are doing, then for sure they will not bully or disturb your son anymore.
As a martial art black bell holder, I am sure your son know the proper way to manage this matter very well.
He must be a high self discipline person because this is what he has trained for so long.

My son is 13 years old too, and thanks God there's not a neighbor like that in my neighborhood, that is something that I love of this place that I don't see or know my neighbors, because everybody works and don't have time to share with the neighbors,sometimes I call this place "gohst neighborhood" because most of the time there is not body around, well I don't want to promote the violence but I think that if he can deal wit neighbor go give him what he deserve.
