[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]thanks all. guess i will bring this up with him soon. he's probably doing a good job avoiding known jerks at school but this one took him by surprise.

btw i don't think this is bullying, that's why i double quoted it. but DS most likely thought/felt it was - he's still learning what is/isn't.[/quote]

I think it was bullying.  It really depends on how the other boy was acting, whether it was goofing around or bullying. I think you should trust your 11 yo to know the difference since he was there.

Tell him to tease others back when they tease him (Like knocking the other boy's water bottle).  Boys have a different way of behaving, they will go after the ones that don't do stuff back.

DO NOT  tell him to say "stop it".  That will just be met with someone saying that back in a mocking tone. (Unless it's a close friend, you can tell a close friend to stop it and they should listen.)

Also get him to have at least one friend around.  Those with friends or in groups are much less likely to be bullied.[/quote]
