My older son was bullied a lil bit back in the 90s on the school bus in Mandeville at the middle school. My wife told me about it and I told Jr to just kick his arse. Of course this was unheard of on the Northshore at the time. My wife protested to violence so we compromised. I called the principal and told him he could handle it or we would. I told him in no uncertain terms. The next day everything was cool on the bus. Well they got off the bus and Jr kicked his arse. I had to go to the school and bla bla bla. Being from Mississippi it didn't go to well bu they knew where we stood and had no problems going forward. Tell him to stand up for himself, it will fix itself.

ETA: we used to make up all kinds of great football/basketball games with neighborhood rules that were a blast, we also made a telegraph line that went down the neighbor hood for almost a mile(and yes we had telephones then,) point is, we made our own entertainment

I agree. I'm just saying him getting off SM isn't going to stop the bullying.

Throw in some thick skin and a mildly self-deprecating sense of humor so you aren't wielding the wit and fist unnecessarily.

Indeed it is hypocritical that I type that, while drinking beer alone and commenting on others lives currently..yeah.

but still..If the kid had football practice or karate or a group of friends he hung with or his own gf.. He wouldn't have time to give a frick about instagram bullying

living well is always the best revenge

Well said, my younger son was a crash test dummy for his older brothers in martial arts. When baby bubba went to middle school some older kids tried him in the bathroom for his lunch money, the "baby" flipped a kid on his back on that hard tile floor. Hell they thought "baby" was fukin kung fu. All I am sayin is they need they stand up for themselves. SM is not the answer...good luck. And BTW I don't do FB, Twitter or any of that shite, but I am an old frick.

I haven't had to deal with it yet, but I will with my son since he has a physical disability. I plan on telling him to just ignore it and/or fire back at the culprit(s), if it gets too bad then go to the school, if it continues he has free reign to bust skulls.

If that fails, I go to parents.

Neither he nor my daughter will have those websites, nor will they have smart phones.

Have him be the aggressor and just walk up to the bully and punch him in the face. Your son gets the 1st lick with no warning to the bully. If he gets suspended - so what. Hell, if he gets suspended, take the day off work and do something cool with him. The bully problem has been ended and your kid will be considered the bad-arse.

What are you talking about change the school? MBS had a mandatory yearly workshop on cyber bulling. Also, Catholic has a mandatory meeting for freshmen and parents on social media .

Contact the school. I believe all public school.teacher have to view bullying scenarios pro used by the Jason Foundation. Cyber bullying is.part.of.that.

I transferred my daughter to a private school 2 years ago because there were a few means girls giving her a hard time

She is much happier nowadays

I might put her back in public schools when she gets older though

The answer is so obvious, its sad nobody else has mentioned it. YOU need to take over your sons social media and BASH this kid to EVERY other kid, parent, teacher etc. in the school. Say shite to him like" I call your mom the washing machine because I put my dirty load in her" and "Your fricking dirt whore of a girlfriend told me she likes tapes and CD's so I taped my dick to her forehead so she can CDs nuts". Then if he says anything back say some shite like, "Bitch shut the frick up, if you don't the headlines tomorrow are gonna say, "scientists now report there are only 7 planets" after I destroy Uranus.

I am telling you, it would DESTROY the bully and your kid would be a hero. He would be suspended but he would be legend!

Isn't the problem more that others can view what the bully is saying about the kid and laugh about it. If he doesn't respond couldn't it just get worse to the point that he walks into school and kids are giggling at him about something that he is unaware of?
