Facebook - bullying - updated

Recommended Posts

Sorry everyone, haven't had a chance to post. Well, I'm pleased to say that the Headmaster was very helpful. He is such a nice man and he couldn't have been more supportive. Although this latest incident has happened outside of school, I have provided a list of what has happened up until now in school and he will be calling the oik in to his office on Thursday. He wants DS to promise that if anything else is said, he must go directly to him and it will be dealt with straight away but hopefully it won't come to that. It is an important year for the boys concerned and as entry to the school of choice for 6th form for my son depends on grades, I WILL NOT have this prat make it more difficult for him.

 

I was also pleased to hear we share the same opinion with regard to Facebook. Apparently it's not the first time the Head has had to deal with issues regarding the site. (and probably won't be the last)

 

I hope I haven't made things worse for my son now. Time will tell I suppose. Thaks for all your support and kind words, it's very much appreciated. :D

i have just pushed my soap box out of site so i cant climb on it. Well done and I hope you get it sorted. My son after last post has got into facebook but I trust him to tell me re any bullying as he is quite an open lad. I am shocked about some of the stuff that goes on this, one of his ex classmates (a floozie in the making) was nasty about someones mum on it (not me or she;d not be standing. ) Shes the sort whose been in full make up from the ageof nine. Her mum is very quiet slightly snooty and dad is lovely, so where she gets it from who knows. Well done and keep us informed. If you want to send the girls round to sort out the oik - let us know :lol::lol:

So far, nothing has been said directly to DS but the glares and the swearing from oikface at him under his breath when passing each other in school is as bad as it gets. I wish I knew what had been said to him and what his defence had been when the Headmaster "had a word" recently.

 

DS is shrugging it all off and seems to getting on with things. I'll be keeping my beady on him though :wink:

 

A mahoosive thank you to everyone who has offered advice and support and I see from other threads I am certainly not alone in having a child who has a tormentor at school. Big love to all x

Hmm, DS just home from school and tells me that this oik was asked to hand out papers in Business Studies. Got to DS and threw his in his face. Nice huh?

What can I do? He taking GCSE's next year. Headache starting ...........

does DS have a friend in the class that can go and speak to the teacher and express his concerns?

 

or if the bully goes near your son, he could cal out "sir, could you help me with this big problem I have please"

 

oh, I hate bullies, they are usually weak minded little cowards :twisted:

 

I spoke to a girl in my class for bullying another child, and it turns out that she is seriously bullied by her dad and brother and this was a form of release, she stopped doing it when she realised what she was doing though

 

(((((hugs)))))

Thanks Cathy. I have tried to understand this lad and I've also tried to bring my kids up to be understanding and compassionate. So much so, my son is seen as weak because of it.

 

Re the bully, as far as I know, it's just him and his mum. Rumour has it his father died when he was young - drugs involved but I don't know for sure. If this is the case then I'm sorry this has happened to him but I'm fed up making excuses for people and their behaviours. It's always the victim who has to be the understanding one - not anymore.

 

I haven't felt this anger before. Not nice.

Totally seconding Claret. Call the headmaster and tell him, and get this kid watched like a hawk, and maybe whatever extra support they can give him, so he knows he's being watched for bad behaviour, but that he's got some sort of social worker outlet as well, so the behaviour can be addressed at root?

 

Sounds like he's had a "Ooops, word censored!" background. Some people should be sewn up.

Clootie, a huge hug from me. I can imagine how furious, upset, frustrated and emotional you must be feeling. We would all do anything for our children things like this are just awful. I am so sorry. I have had a taste of something similar with my son which was quickly resolved. In your position I too would be wishing I could pull my son out of school but as you rightly say it is an important year. How does your son feel? Is he as upset as you are? Is he supported by a decent network of friends? Is he happy there apart from this vile child? Is he working at a level that you are happy with? If it were my child and I can only say what I would do as it would be wrong of me to suggest what you should do, I think that I would demand a meeting with the Head, the Head Of Year and the Chair of Governors armed with a copy of the school's Anti Bullying Policy. In defence of the school they can only act when they are made aware of a problem and I think that they need to be kept aware of every incident. I know that we should all feel some sympathy for children like this bully with his background but sympathy is going to get the situation no further on, he need to learn what is and is not acceptable behaviour in normal society.

So Clootie but its oik who should be outed not your son. i bet your son isnt the only one who hes being horrid too. I would post myself outside headmasters door and refuse to move till oik and mum are there and would demand a meeting threatening the police and anything else I could lay my mits on. YOur son isnt in the wrong. LET OIK GO. Good luck love and lots of hugs - outraged mum NCY
