[quote=Anonymous]Agree that it’s worth nagging all the adults at the school NOW to make sure they are all on alert for it. My kid had an ongoing issue and then when there was a non-core teacher monitoring lunch and a physical altercation happened, he just assumed my kid was 50 percent at fault (as opposed to a victims of bullying) because he didn’t know the backstory.
In short, EVERY adult in your kids orbit should be on alert.
And secondly, you can teach him to ignore but you CANNOT tell him to fight back because kids escalate.  A friends son “fought back”. and the next day he was jumped like 50 feet outside the school, by an older brother who came to the school and waited til he walked out. You cannot be engaging in this stuff. 
Third… ask them to have a lunch plan for him. A specific lunch bunch that he sits with, ability to eat in a teachers room, etc. same for recess. These are the least supervised periods of the day and when stuff is most likely to happen.
Good luck. Middle school is awful. Keep outside-of-school friendships up…or find favored weekend activities… when school is garbage a kid needs to have a good weekend every weekend if they are going to be able to cope.
hugs to you both.[/quote]
