[quote=Anonymous]My child is also being bullied. I remembered seeing the form to report it so I filled it out tonight with my son.

Apparently another boy has been humping him (can you believe it?), pushing him in the hallway and calling him a faggot. Today my son confided in a friend at school who then confronted the bully.  The bully then charged at my son and threatened to beat him up. The kids at school formed a wall and told my son to run away. He stayed because he said if he ran, he'd have to run every day (I told him he was really brave.)  My son is a gentle soul and I can't imagine him ever hitting back - even in self-defense.

My son doesn't know this kid at all. He is new and they are all in 6th grade in middle school.

I really don't want to be causing a stink this early in the year but it's clear I have to say something.

My son was really shaken up and even at 11pm now - he can't sleep and is worried. I know he didn't want to tell anyone - it's embarrassing.

I like the principal and feel like she will do the right thing but it was helpful to hear other responses on here.

The most important thing I've learned at our previous school, current school and from the Kavanaugh hearings (sorry to get political) is that we must speak up immediately and document everything. The wait and see approach is asking for more trouble because bullies don't stop until they have to and nobody seems to believe the victim if they wait.
