[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is small and was bullied by some (tall, big) boys last year in 6th. Here's what worked for us (after her trying to ignore for basically many months).

- 2 days before school starting this year, I wrote an email to the principal, assistant principal, guidance counselors (2), and all 7 teachers, describing the history and basically putting them on notice that I'd fill out a bullying form the next time these kids tried anything. I asked them to never have them sit next to each other or be forced into groups together. This tip was given to me by a seasoned MCPS teacher-mom who had been in our shoes and knew what worked.

- memorizing a bunch of put downs (like 10)  that she'd just retort anytime the boys tried to speak/mock her. "exactly why do you keep talking with me? Are you obsessed with me or something?" Eventually they backed down because they knew she would not take it. The "famous" put down was when she said " your butt must be jealous of your mouth because of all the dog poop coming out" (this was repeated to me by her friends the next day, in utter glee, lol, because apparently the whole class even the teacher started laughing). Apparently the boy (who they all hate) was just stunned.

- [b]honestly? Getting better at sports. My kid can do more push ups than most of the boys in her class, and she can climb a rope faster/higher. Getting physically stronger will build your kid's confidence..[/b]

It's true.

Not sure what OP's kid is into athletically but they should find something
