This is a brilliant idea! It caught my eye as ED is having a bit a problem at school, which is hopefully being sorted out (her form teacher and another teacher plus the girls involved are having a meeting today). She only told me about it last night and apparently it's been going on for a couple of months! I think it's to do with the fact my ED broke or soft tissue damaged her foot (drs don't know which )and has been on crutches for 2 months, and maybe she is getting a bit too much attention from her friends and the teachers. Girls can be so horrid

I think thats a brilliant idea, its about time the schools came up with ideas to stop bullying.

 

My ES was bullied by a boy at secondary school, which resulted in ES's finger being broken when the boy chucked a tree branch at his head. The school had a little chat with the little charmer but said they didn't want to take things any further as he comes from a difficult background...... Great support there guys thanks.

 

I wouldn't have wanted the police involved (until we heard he was going around school boasting about it) but something needed to be done.

[BarbaraJ]

that is great but as someone else posted on there what if its a same sex situation

[chickencam]

A great idea for primary school children, but I don't think that it would work with more hardened older children.

[bluekarin]

I think you need to start somewhere and if all the schools were to do this at primary level, then it might have a knockone effect and there might be less of a problem when the kids got older. There was a woman on there who was having problems with a year 10 boy (so about 14 or 15 year old) and the head sorted that out. I can't see it would make any difference if the bullying is done boy to girl; girl to boy; boy to boy, or girl to girl.

[gracefruit]

You can 'tease proof' your children, as well. This tends to blow little bullies' minds.

That is brilliant.

 

My eldest was picked on horribly by a very nasty little boy in her primary school, & I am sure this would have done the trick nicely. His Mum never believed her child did the things he did,which included really bad physical stuff & even sexually threatening behaviour.

 

BTW,found out yesterday that the nasty little boy turned into a nasty big boy,& has just been expelled from dealing drugs at his posh private school. Apparantly his Mum STILL thinks the sun shine out of him though

I'm sorry but I am fed up with buliies being namby pambied by schools. Probs start at home but primary schools do nothing to hep matter. Their stance is if someone hits you tell the teacher - I always say now to my 2 hit them back. They get a little chat from teacher but by the time they get to secondary school they are out of control. ES 13 said the other day a lad in Yr 7 who thinks hes hard has pushed alot of elder kids around and told my son whose 6ft to move. My son said "why" - his reply "cos I'll hit ya" ES said " oh go away" and he did. ANother time he had a go at ES and ES son "Have you seen my mate" S is 13 and 6ft4.

Anyway the other day this yob head butted another lad in the chest, the other lad walloped him and it riccoheted so much yobo and another lad were hurt. His dad and I laughed esp as he had to go off in ambulance. Hes somewhat quieter - serves him right.

I put both my lads thro karate - and althou they dont do it now they have the basics. I was bullied at school and was determined that my kids wouldn't be. If they cant deal with it themselves I am up at school and make alot of noise.

Bullying is unpleasant and its time we stopped pussyfooting round these little yobs.

Boy do I feel better for my rant

[Nutmeg]

I hope your daughter's situation is resolved as quickly as possible.

 

I have witnessed the utter misery my DD has suffered at secondary school over the past three years and as a Parent it is beyond heartbreaking.

 

I was recently asked at work if I would like to join the anti-bullying team, but I declined saying that I would probably end up throttling them, rather than trying to 'understand' them!

 

I'm with nochucksyet on this; far too much emphasis is placed on trying to placate the bullies.

[Alis girls]

Sorry Nutmeg I would've joined just so I could throttle them. I know theres teachers on here and I feel for them. My friends a teacher and some of the parents could do with a good throttling too. I really feel for any of you with bullied kids, ES son was bullied in Yr 7 by a squirt who mocked his stammer. School were brilliant - was dealt with straight away.

[Geoid]

I was annoyed with this guy at school, I told him to leave me alone and not to lay a finger on me, he touched me, the next thing I know the guy is on the floor with me standing over him (I took him down with one hand!). He left me alone after that.

[kitbag]

I was bullied for three years (year 7, 8 and 9). It still haunts me to this day. This boy was picking on my friend and it went on for about a month until I got tothe point of thinking this has gone on long enough. I told him that he should get out of my friends life or else I would get the head involved. Our school has a very scary head! Unfortunatly this backfired and he picked on me as well. This time physically. I got sick of this and I had to have my friend Mat with me at all times (he's HUGE!) Finally the school agreed to actually look at CCTV footage. The bully got suspended. It's so sad - my friend now self harms, even though it is nearly 2 years since it stopped. If the school had listened to us in the first place, this would never had happened. I hope your daughter gets it sorted soon xx

[Alis girls]

Well all I can say is that we've got some brave kids on this forum. Well done you and sorry you had to go thro so much pain. As adults we should listen to you more and shame on your schools for failing to protect you. Whats the point of CTV if you dont use it.

I think Fred and Kitbag need a round of applause.

[bluekarin]

I hope my ED school problem gets sorted out soon too. She had a bit of a meeting Friday which I don't think has solved anything really. The teacher was asking her if she had thanked the girls in question for helping with her school bags whilst she is trying to get up and down the stairs with her crutches! I do think this has all stemmed from my daughter being on crutches for so long (some girls are questioning if she is faking it!!!! Yes, like she loves having sore hands and not being able to join in with tennis ) I just hope it's all going to be resolved soon, as they are off to France for 5 days in two weeks.

 

I was sorry to read all of your other bullying experiences. Nochucksyet; I agree with you. The teachers need to believe the kids when they tell them what is happening. Its all well and good school having anti bullying policys, but if they aren't implemented then they are worthless.

[Alis girls]

i hope your ED ets sorted b4 school trip. Poor lass, I think girls are little cats - so "Ooops, word censored!"y. bullying is cropping up in sport too, ES came back with thick lip as some yob elbowed him in the mouth. OH said "thank God mum didnt go, the ref (an elderly man) wouldv'e been flattened and the bully tied up by his shin pads" Oh they know me too well. I am so fed up with it.

I know my friends had bullying from parents at school - no hope for the kids then

Yrs ago I had a vendetta against me from a female pt who told many lies - she was too stupid to see we were able to check everything she said and find it was all lies. But it made my life a misery for a short time and feared for my job.

Thank you! I was just doing what any good friend would do - or I hope they would do. It was so upsetting seeing my friend get so badly hurt and I just had to do something to relieve it from her for a while. It's just the way I have been brought up!
