Reply #59: Another vote for having your son beat up the other kid [View All]

[Cruzan]

Knock him down, give him a black eye, make him feel a little pain, but above all HUMILIATE HIM by doing it in front of others and showing he won't be fucked with anymore. It's the only way to stop a bully. The resulting psychic effect will be life changing for them both. Your son will have immeasurably greater confidence and learn he doesn't have to be the fated victum and the other kid will learn there are consequences to stepping beyond social bounds.

Enroll your son in an appropriate martial arts school if his defense skills need improvement. Doing that alone will greatly show him that you do indeed understand what he's going through and know how to help. If he doesn't actually come out and say it, certainly he will instead now feel inside that he's glad he told you what's been happening.
