When I was young, the bullies could be ignored
When my son was in 3rd grade, one older kid was notorious for bullying. He couldn't be suspended or expelled because of his "exceptionality. Even the principal was afraid of him.

The problem with the social media today is the amount of people who see it, so in turn it amplifies the thought that everyone is against them. Seeing a normal kid with over a thousand followers is common/ridiculous
Yep, and you teach you children that school is for learning, and that it is not appropriate to accept being forced to socialize with people who are ignorant or inferior. I tell my boys to go to school, get your education, make and keep friends with people who are intelligent or ethical enough to not participate in bullying, stand up for yourself as needed, give others the respect they earn, and ignore the rest. When you are not at school you simply avoid the drama and the people who are acting like idiots.

I told my kid if someone was talking crap or posturing, shoving, etc. that the kid didn't really want to fight and the best thing to do was to not say a word, just walk right up to the dude and without so much as the hint of a warning punch him right in the nose. If he gets suspended I'm taking him to a brothel.

it was my experience that the school should be informed and they will contact the bullies parents, I promise you they cannot and will not ignore it, there are legal ramifications now a days. Been a while since my kids were in middle school but it definitely nipped that crap in the butt.

The whole "I'm not letting MY kid be on social media" stance by parens with kids under the age of 10, is the same thing as expectant parents emphatically stating "The baby will NEVER sleep in the bed with me and I'm NOT giving him a pacifier".
It's real easy to state absolutes in the abstract.
Social media is not some fad, it is now a permanent part of communication and socialization, like it or not.
My teenagers teachers use Twitter to make announcements, the football coaches use it to make announcements to the team, the principal uses it for parent reminders. Each class has a Twitter and Instagram to plan events and share pictures. The school yearbook asks parents to send pics from school events to their accounts to put in the yearbook.
I could go on and on.
Any of you been on a job interview lately for a sales, marketing, or PR position?
If you aren't "social media fluent", you aren't getting that job.
Taking the hard line stance of "NO SOCIAL MEDIA" will make your kids get one secretly and then you have no control over it.
I made sensible rules for my kids' accounts - they have to have them private so only friends can see what they post, I have to be their "friend" or follower (makes them more circumspect about they post because they know I will see it, I have to know their password and they know I spot check their activity - if they change the password, they lose the account, and I explained to them about how "delete" doesn't mean something is gone.
Once my oldest turned 15, I allowed him to have his own password.
It's pretty much a way of life now but like anything you have to be aware and be alert.

Thanks to all for the responses.
I told him that he should lay off Instagram and ignore the kid as best he could. I told him not to be scared to defend himself and I informed the Principal so she can have knowledge of the situation in case it turns physical.
Hopefully, it will go away on its own. If not, I kinda like the chili idea.

happened to my little brother when he was a third grader back in the early 60's, he got beat up one day, next day at scholl i beat the shite out of him
He never had a problem again, he knocks the shite out if him he won't get bullied again,
Just my solution!
