[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To those who suggest weights training - are you serious?  You think a bully is going to stop because you are lifting… like one year later??  What about a girl who is bullied, should she be lifting, too.  Or if she’s bullied because she’s too big, should she have weight reduction surgery?  What about a disabled kid?  I can’t believe that at least 10 ppl or more suggest lifting as the answer to a boy being bullied. [/quote]

Being physically strong is the best defense against physical bullying. Being friendly and [b]well-liked is the best defense[/b] against emotional bullying. In both cases, it gives the kid confidence to ignore the bullying.

Yes, girls should become strong too. If a stronger boy is threatening a girl, someone stronger should get in his face and tell him to back off.

If the whole school environment is abusive trash, get out of there.[/quote]

This is the only thing that matters. It's not fair to expect teachers and school administrators to jump in and solve things when they don't know who knows who. Often the bully's Dad is a high-powered attorney, or the Mom works in school administration, or maybe the older brother is a prosecutor or state legislator. Point being, you don't know how your stirring the pot can backfire on the school as a whole, on all the other kids.

At some point we look all over the place except at the kid getting bullied. What is it that draws bullies to the kid? What can the kid do to, as Colin Jost says, not have such a punchable face? You hate this talk, but you know it's true. Can you get your kid working out at least enough to make a travel team however low level it might be? Can you hire some older college girls to makeover your daughter? Kids look up to (cool) older kids. Use that to make your kid less of a target.

One other thing you could do is to connect with the toughest kids in the school, and hire them to watch out for your kid. Sort of like how the Stones hired the Hells Angels. Now you gotta make sure you pay enough to buy the tough kids' loyalty, so make clear this is strictly business. They don't have to hang out with you rkid. They just need to put a hurting on any of these bullies who mess with your kid. Preferably at least one of these tough kids is a cop's kid so that if the bullies' parents complain it goes nowhere.

Be smart.[/quote]
