[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's been 2 years, but I always would say hi (at school pre-covid when I volunteered) and use their name so they know I know who they are. It wasn't the reason the bullying stopped, but it seemed important at the time. [/quote]

+1 to all this. Say hello. Use their names. Mention their parents if you happen to know them. [/quote]

+2  This is one of the reasons I volunteer (yes, I also work FT but have sufficient flexibility in the middle of the day to sell tickets during lunch or take tickets before an event). [/quote]

I did this once. I actually knew the mom really well. I walked right up to her and said "Hi, Sheila!" sweetly. She looked confused. I said, "OH, I'm Kyla's mom. Yeah, guess what. I have known your mom since middle school. She grew up in the neighborhood next to ours. I know your grandparents REALLY well too!" That stopped a bully in her tracks and from then on she was lovely. I made sure i let her mom and grandparents know our kids were in school together, but never told them how awful she was. Sure enough, she was VERY and still is. She comes from a very tight knit family and would bring shame on them if they knew she was cruel.[/quote]
