Bullies at school

here in Chgo it is against the law for bullying. That teacher is lying because that kid could be suspended,expelled or transferred from the school. I would notify the school board,an attorney and tell that principal that you will file charges against her,the school board and that boys parents for not doing anything and for xcausing your son emotional and mental stress.

The other girls might just be jealous of her. You need to bypass the school and speak with the girls parents. Request a conference with the girls parents and try to get the issue resolved that way. Go to school with your daughter one day and ask her who it is. Approach the girls and tell them you want to speak with a parent or to stop bullying your daughter. Thats how I would handle it.

You need to ask yourself why your 13 year old is being "emotionally bullied" .. Is it something he/she is doing? Is is because of something she/he tends to say? Find out her/his actions in school..Maybe there are things going on that you are not aware of?

There is nothing worse than a bully! I'd say go to the parents - but your daughter is a little too old for that to work. The teachers are wrong. They should be talking to these bullies and telling them to stop or face the consequences. Bullying is a big thing nowadays, and something should be done to stop it.

I am so sorry this is happening, school can be so great but so sad. Bullying is something serious and can cause your child emotional, social problems. Talk to him/her ask him/her what they are bullying him/her about and if nothing can be done you might consider moving to a better place, homeschooling your child.

That school is rubbish. Every school should take bullying seriously and have an anti-bullying policy. If they continue to refuse to do anything then you should go to the local press and publicise their failure to help your child. Our local paper has stories about kids being bullied all the time. Sometimes the only thing that gets the school moving is to be shamed in public into doing something.

I was actually bullied when I was younger, both emotionally and physically. At that time there were no laws, either provincially or federally (I'm in Canada) against bullying. It was treated as "Oh, let the kids work it out themselves," even if it was incredibly hurtful. When the bullying turned physical, my parents called the school right away. The girls who were bullying me got called into the principal's office, had to appologise to me, and received detention for a week. Because the abuse was physical, they could do something about. Nowadays in Canada, some jurisdictions do have laws against bullying, but it varies from area to area. I'd investigate further with the principle of your school and the superintendents (or what ever their title may be) for your school district. In this day and age, there must be some sort of regulations on the school district's books regarding bullying. Good luck to you! Your child is very lucky to have a parent like you to help them. :) ~Wyrdsister
