When it comes to bullying, in addition to relying on the school, and our MoCo school has been great, I tell my so. [b]That he has to minimize his attractiveness as a target. [/b][/quote]

And when a kid is simply minding his own business, looking out the window, and becomes the target (look at that kid 'spacing out', etc), how does one do this?

Let's put this differently: How would, say, my Asperger's nephew minimize his attractiveness as a target? By not having Aspergers?

Some kids are just mean. These kids have a history of being mean. Mean kids need to be stopped in their tracks, not pushed to the next target.[/quote]

I am not suggesting that victims are to blame, only that kids do what they can to avoid being a target.  It can mean many things depending on the circumstances and in some circumstances nothing can be done and you have to rely on the school professionals to handle it.  Of course mean kids need to be stopped, but bullying is never going away totally so I do what I can with my kids to help the minimize their risk, especially my one who has, sadly, been the victim of bullying over the years.  You may stop a bully after the fact, but for someone to be labeled a bully, there has to be a victim.[/quote]
