| That's ... not how karma works. The way it works is that when DH dies he'd be reincarnated as someone who would spend their life small and scared - whether that's as a human or fly constantly being swatted away, or a wasp that people scream and run from in fear or whatever. |
Yeah right |

+1 Just fyi, wrestling and boxing are types of martial arts. Martial arts helps give people confidence. It’s good to know how to defend yourself. Bullies tend to pick on those who are not confident. |
Your bubble is as thick as 50 cent chewing gum. You don’t have to be a Trump fan to realize this election is his to lose, but yes tell us more about how karma comes to those who are president of the United States. |
It's about karma! |

| He’ll know what to do to help your kid face down bullies. He can teach him how to defend himself, work out, be strong, and develop resilience. It’s actually a good thing. |
+100 This is really it. Bullies target kids who aren’t confident. OP, work on building your son’s self esteem and confidence. I know it can be difficult- one of my boys was like this too. He is better as a teen, has found his niche. I have nothing against martial arts, wrestling etc but I wouldn’t consider these a quick solution unless kid shows interest. If it builds confidence that is great- but have to agree with another poster who said an unathletic kid talking about his martial arts prowess would just get him bullied even more. I have two teen sons and understand how boys are- envisioning this actually makes me cringe for him... I’d focus on some other activity or interest (whatever he is into) and try other social activities to build confidence- ideally NOT with kids from school unless they are already friends. Let him work on his social skills in a different setting- day camps that interest him etc- summer is great for this. |
| I think it is what it is and was what it wax |
| Do you mean your DH thanks that your DS is being bullied as some sort of universal retribution for what he did as a kid? Because I don’t think you know what karma means. But whatever. DS is being bullied because bullies are common and DS is, unfortunately, an easy target. there’s no more to it than that. Stop thinking about this, and make sure your kid is safe. |
| Sza knows karma |
| Send your husband to beat up the bully or his dad. |
