[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most likely your kid is wrong and was simply disciplined and became bitter about it. If it is truly bullying then it should be handled like every other bully, man up and don’t be a punk. Bullies look for the weakest of the herd, while it isn’t right one should ask themselves why they are the weakest target. Not like if the one bully stops another won’t quickly take their place until the person learns inner strength.[/quote]

How is a 15 year old boy supposed to "man up" so he is not the weakest target in a class? Are you implying a student clock the teacher one to defend himself?

Student vs student, they would be on an equal plane to settle the beef but a teacher has definite power that can be used to threaten a student.  All negative reprocessions unless there is a videotape of the incident would be on the student. A teacher can make a student’s life hell via bad grades, unfair discipline,  etc. if a child speaks up.[/quote]

Physical defense is only one possibility of not being a target, there are multiple nuances to being a target and it can change from situation to situation. That said I remember a few teachers crossing the line and picking on kids over the years, truth be told it typically was the same kids the other kids picked on. And some point it is just you. If you don’t want to be picked off be hyenas don’t lag behind the pack. Hyenas are going to be there regardless[/quote]
