What will you do when it comes to being picked on and bullied ?

thats something I don't want is my child getting bullied , that leads to sooooo much , kids are killing themselves over that mess . ima make sure my child learns how to use words and their hands . if someone hits them they better tell them to stop or go tell the teacher , if they hit my child again then they better defend themselves and hit them back . if tge teacher or the other childs parent has a problem I will GLADLY tell them " yes I told my child to defend themselves from your child putting they hands on them . if you have a problem with it then teach your child to keep those hands off of other children " I ain't finna have my baby become a punching bag ! nope not my child !!

The schools I worked at were K-8, so not strictly elementary. I haven't seen for myself the police get involved for any child younger than 9, but I know it has happened. :(

Wisconsin and many other states. In the past 5-10 years many states have adopted a 0 tolerance policy towards fighting. Many states have a police officer that works at the school. I see the trend only continuing. I do not agree with it because I don't think children should be branded as violent for life. I have also seen kids get into fights and the next day the police come to the school because the parents called the police on the other child and that child ends up in court. This is one of the many reasons I'm considering home schooling. :(

I worked in an urban public school for 5 years and I understand the desire to tell your kids to fight back, but here's how that plays out in my school district.

Kid A picks on Kid B. Kid A may even get away with beating Kid B up if Kid B never says anything. Kid B fights back, a fight breaks out. Kid A and B are now suspended. Depending on the age of the kids, like if they are in 5th grade or up, the cops may become involved and they both may be expelled.

Assault is not something you want on your child's record, but I have seen it happen to kids that were finally pushed to their limit.

I will tell my kid to tell an adult immediately. Document each event with dates and times. I would talk to the teacher, the principal, the other parents, and if it came to it, a lawyer. I would never tell my child to fight with someone because it isn't worth the record.

When I grew up I never told teachers because it will never stop. So my dad always taught me to defend myself, but defending myself leads to beating up someone. Which leaded me to getting arrested at the age of 12. Lol

My older sister told me growing up if someone is picking on you "take your shoe off and beat them"  my son will know to go to an adult first but if nothing happens with that ima tell him the same thing.
