[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a lot of terrible advice on here.

She needs to learn to roll her eyes and ignore it.  He's looking for a reaction--a non-reaction takes away the thrill of doing it.  That, along with asking him why he feels the need to talk to her at all.  "Jack, stop talk to me or about me."  eyeroll, leave.

My DS used this tactice for the better part of 2 months when a couple of boys at his private (boys private) kept calling him and a friend gay.  Friend eventually complained, things got worse for him.  DS didn't, and it stopped completely.  No fun, clearly.[/quote]

I'm sorry, but I think your "ignore it" advice is horrible.   Bullies continue to harass the nice kids who "ignore" it.   I disagree that bullies look for reactions. They for easy targets. And kids that ignore are easy targets.   I'm sorry your kid got harassed for two months. I think could have been much briefer had he shot it down from the get-go.

I agree about insulting the bullies back.  It takes a lot of courage and risk and so it's not easily done.  But i do think it's most effective. [/quote]
