Yeah, I don't get what soapbox he's trying to get on, either, regarding this issue.

My son is in the second grade. From the time he entered first grade I made sure he knew how to fight. My dad gave me the father / son boxing gloves I learned with. Teach him to always move forward and how to throw a punch. Also tap him in the face not hard but don't let him go untouched in your matches. Let him get used to getting tapped but counter punching.
Also teach him when and where it is OK to fight. Never someone smaller younger or weaker. But if picked on he is to respond hit them first harder and do not stop until you are the clear winner.
A bd kid in the fourth grade stole his Lego person and refused to give it back. My kid walked away behind the thief waited two or three minutes then pulled the thief off his stool and kicked him in the head a few times. He then got his Lego and went somewhere else to play.
The school called and after hearing what happened I told the principal I backed my son and I would like a meeting with the thief's' parents to discuss the issue.
Nothing else happened and the bd kid still picks on younger kids but not my son.

My kids are only in elementary school and luckily aren't subjected to that kind of thing, but our neighbor has a kid in middle school who was bullied. I don't know the details, but somehow through social media the kid managed to eventually convince the school that the bully was gay and it turned into a huge charade with parents, teachers and principals and various school administrators having to get involved, but in the end the kid was not ever messed with again.
Sorry I don't have more details, that's all that his dad would share with us.

this is sad, sad because IMO, it's the parents that won't take charge of the situation, YOU are in charge, raise your kids right, don't succumb to the cop out of "you don't understand, all the kids are doing it, and all of the parents allow it

Yes I agree. Times have changed however, there are far less playground after school fights these days than back in the day.

when I was in jhs, there was a parabolic cover over a public basketball court behind the school, that everyone called "the dome," if things weren't settled at lunch time on the playground out of sight of the admin, it was"meet me at the dome at three," almost a daily occurrence, and some pretty serious blood baths there too, but usually that's where everything was resolved, and things were usually OK from that point on with the combatants(I left parts of teeth out there myself )

Buy some heroin and tell your son to plant it on the kid. Then call the police and report the bully. Be sure to call from a pay phone so they can't trace the call back you.

Damn, is this real? Have we become such pussies that one or two directed blows and a bloody nose can't set things right anymore? Something about being quiet and carrying part of a tree comes to mind.

Real life Internet bullying is fricking insane. It's changing the game. You can't escape it by leaving school like you used to. I'd suggest asking him to delete his Facebook and instagram and all that.
You don't need that stupid bullshite.

My son is a 6th grader, and younger than kids in his own grade. A 7th grader is wearing him out on social media because his little GF thinks my boy is cute. It's ridiculous, but I hate to see him hurt. He's embarrassed, but not fearful of the kid.
When I was young, the bullies could be ignored, but now they take it to Instagram. Also, you could stand up and smoke or get smoked and end it. Zero tolerance took care of that.
Any advice? Be kind.
I feel old, because I have an instagram, I just never used it.
I am so glad in my day, cell phones were still rare in school. And passing notes was how you got info out.

You taught your second grader to beat people up when someone takes his lego man?!?

If your son popped him one good time in the nose, I think it would get the point across. My question is, is there any way he could claim self defense and not get expelled/suspended, should it come to that?

Really needed an example of what was posted, but I'd have your son post one cool message then take a month off instagram. If the issue is on that site, you need to address is on that site:
"Jealous people are annoying me, done with this site for awhile. If you have something to say, come see me man to man."
Then post is a gif of a mic drop, or some guy looking serious into the camera.
You have to get alpha. Show tech savvy and coolness. When I see moms and pushover dads giving advice online it makes me

The kid is a kid in sixth grade. So he gets suspended a couple days.
Tell him to whip that guys arse, kiss his girl. Then take a couple days off work when he is suspended and take the little guy golfing.

Already posted how to handle it online. As far as in person, you can handle a lot with one push.
A quick one-handed strong push gets the kid's attention and puts him in the beta. Look him in the eye and say "do we have a problem?"
If it has gotten bad, use a two handed push instead. When the other boy clearly sees you boy but they haven't spoken. Have him walk right up, while the guy is looking at him, your boy pushes his chest so hard the kid falls on the floor. That's puts him in his place and gives your boy the chance to walk up on him while he's on the ground. No way the other kid gets up to fight.
No one gets suspended, and your kid stood-up from himself.
