I was picked on a lot in the junior years. We moved a lot & I never fit in, always the new guy. My parents told me never to fight, so I got my asss kicked a lot. 2 things I've learned. If someone is calling you names, walk away. It doesn't hurt you & he looks foolish because he's ineffective. If someone is talking shit about you, or starts a fight you can't avoid, deal with it right there, or it will make you sick. If you keep running, that rep ends up defining you & it turns into a self fulfilling prophecy.
IMO, calling the school may help, but the chances are less than 50/50. Calling the persons parents is usually a better tactic, especially if you tell them that you're gonna encourage your boy to beat theirs. No one wants to know their kids are actively disliked for anti-social reasons.
Hope it works out well for your boy. I really feel for him. I was there for about 7 yrs, & it was not good.

See it is breaking my heart even reading your post, but I am laughing about calling the other boys parents LOL hee hee

Tomorrow I will do cardio, 3 days missed from the gym is not good.

I am not worried about the whole getting hurt issue, I hear what your saying. It is funny cause when I worked for the school board they found out what I told my son, and man were they mad cause no fighting is tolerated, but I said tooo bad, we can't be there all the time to save them so what are they supposed to do. That is what we told him, never start a fight, but finish it, even if you lose it will be better than running away. My husband and I just talked about it and he is one, going to start going to the gym with him and two we are going to let him decide which sport.
My boy wants to join the army, or be a scientist, or...lol

I like the army.

Well I had another talk with my son. I am feeling a little better. I hope he is going to take my advice and realize monday is a new day, but i guess we shall see. I told him he has two choices, he either doesn't play soccer at recess or he does and puts up with it, (unless of course it gets physical) we gave him some good one liners to use if they start getting mouthy, mostly
" your momma's so ugly...." I don't know why he gets bugged, hmmmm, maybe cause is mom is a geek LOL, those were the only come backs I could think of.

Aside from the fact that I was always the new guy, all the kids in the areas I grew up where farm boys, or into sports. WE never lived on farms, so I didn't know diddly, & we were so dirt poor, my brother & I couldn't get involved in sports. Plus the fact I always wore my brother's hand me downs. It became so that most of the kids I played with were girls. Let me tell you, I had a LOT of fun. But my parents actually thought I was gonna be gay, LOL.
Anyways, who knows why one kid gets picked on & the next one won't. That's where the teachers need to get involved, with everyone, & make sure kids are involved, & other kids don't bully. I'm afraid he's gonna have to get in a scrap or 2. That's the way it worked for me. I would get beat on & just cower, or run, 'cause I wasn't supposed to fight. When I started fighting back, whether I won or lost, I got more respect.

I am sorry to hear what you went through, that SUCKS, when I worked in the school system, I tried soo hard for all of that bull shit to stop. Some teachers supported me and others were like let them sort it out for themselves. But when you see a kid not coming to school, and I had to literally go pick him up and bring him to school cause his parents could of cared less it makes me sooooo angry.

he is the new kid too, this is his 4th school and he is in gr6 but we don't plan on moving anymore. Yup, that is what my hubby said in junior high he was the smallest kid and once he stuck up for himself he got more respect to.

and that is exactly what it is mean, I find, now again this is just based on my experience that kids with parents that aren't that involved usually end up with kids that bully, or I hate to say this really aggressive sports parents. (not the kids who played sports but the kids that played sports with very aggressive parents)

Awww I just caught up on all this drama. CK I would so be the type to go kick the bully's parents ass if their kid was messing with mine. I would go straight for the kids dad & wail on him ... Can you imagine the kids at school?!

"My mom kicked your dads ass.. "

I am semi kidding. You are a great mother, I am sure your hubby is a good father ... You make me want to reconsider the children thing when I read your posts about your family, just thought you should know that
