[quote=Anonymous]One of our kids was severely bullied in grade school. We enrolled her in Taekwondo. A big part of martial arts is teaching people how to stand up to bullies and use your power with restaint. She became more confident in how to handle bullies. One time a bully started hassling her on the playground in fourth grade and she did a fierce spinning cross kick inches from that kid. Leave me alone. They respected her more after that. She and I had daily talks about how to handle bullies at school. You have to, because most teachers and administrators aren't going to lift a finger to help you.  When you have a bullied kid, every damn day is sending your kid into a battlezone. Teachers and administrators will stand up for the bullies every time because they wear the right clothes and have the right parents. Teach your child emotional resilience. Nobody will do anything about the bullies, they remain free to verbally and physically abuse anyone they want to at any time. Nothing will ever change because the adults aren't willing to do the right thing and put a stop to it. So you have to do what you can.[/quote]
