Bullying

[DSJ]

I was bullied at school because I was very small for me age.

My husband was bullied because he was a very plump child.

My grandson is being bullied because he lives at home with two parents who are married, & a younger sibling who is the child of both.

What a strange world we live in.

He may have done, so dig at him on that site.
I don't know what you regulars expect us to think of you when you behave this way.

Sir A - They are always loved and never forgotten are they? My lovely old dog died in 1971 aged nearly 19 but still we talk about him often in the family ........

> That's teasing, not bullying

Teasing can be bullying.

DSJ, if your grandson is being bullied, then he or his parents needs to talk to his form tutor and get the school to act on it. If the abuse is out of school, e.g. online, consider other resources such as:

get yourself a pair of brogues with steel toe caps, a good Barathea Blazer and some well pressed black trousers - and then kick the sh*t out of the bar stewards !

[ummmm]

Errrrrrrrrr....he brought it to this site, not me!

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

I wasn't defending you Mike. I know you don't need it. I was just questioning the unwritten rules here where you telling someone to get a grip is like being the devil incarnate but someone else can call you the C word and that's ok?

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

I don't see him attacking you in this thread Ummmm. Quite the opposite in fact.

"get yourself a pair of brogues with steel toe caps, a good Barathea Blazer and some well pressed black trousers - and then kick the sh*t out of the bar stewards !" Now you're talking my language. Did you go to the same school as me?

[ummmm]

Mojo..cool. NOX gets it.

Night all xx

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

Then maybe you would like to insult me too.
You don't own this site NOX and if one person is obliged to follow the rules then we all are.
You behaved much worse than Mike on this thread. I don't particularly care what you think about that fact.

Hi Mike ! I might have been wearing Doc Martins and a Dog Tooth jacket
(donated by my granddad) but the main thing is - we kicked the sh*t out of 'em - that's the only way to avoid the bully boys !

I was teased at school. About my freckles, being skinny, had my hair pulled, Deliberately excluded at break time , comments like Brinjal wants to be our friend but we don't want to be friends with her. Nobody likes her. So I would sit by myself and read. Apart from a bit of hair pulling and being pinched not actual harm but it does affect they I react to people today. I find it difficult to be in situatatio s where I don't know anyone. I do keep my own company a lot and people now find me unfriendly and snobby. But it's a defense against being rejected.

Not sure what's going on up there ^, don't wanna know either, so perhaps best ignored!

Anyhoo...

DSJ- has your grandsons parents spoke to the school at all? If not ,they need to, this needs nipping in the bud ASAP before it escalates.

Good luck :-)

[DSJ]

Yes, the school has been informed & action has been taken. Thank you all for taking the time to comment & tell us about your own experiences.

I see that several answers have been removed. What's all that about? Surely not online bullying?

I was bullied so badly at school, my Nan brought me up and we had little money, so, God bless her, when the bed sheets were threadbare, she would make me pairs of pants our of them. Not so funny when they were the flannelette ones and the other kids saw them during change time for p.e, albeit nice and warm in the winter!

I had no boobs (still don't) so I never needed a bra, so was bullied about those too. School, for me, was a bloody awful experience.
