Scenario. Your kid starts falling into a deep depression you notice but you don't know why. You find out kids are waiting for him after school at the bus stop, taunting him and occasionally physically hitting him.

Without going to the school, how do you tell your kid to handle this situation?

I think it's respectable. I gringe at you, no sense of right and wrong, little self confidence, which is typical today from people, unfortunately.

It doesn't matter if they are small or scared. Kids are vicious. Do you remember being a kid lol. If you don't stand up from r yourself then you will remain afraid.

Better to take some karate and handle it.

As a parent it wouldn't matter to me. If my kid is getting bullied, defends himself and then gets suspended, he would receive no punishment from me. As long as he was defending himself.

Tough guy? I'm not a tough guy, nobody wants to fight ever. Last resort. But buddy, if it comes to getting picked on every single day dreading waking up, or fighting. Time to take the bully down.

And nobody WANTS to fight.

Well they better learn if they want to stick up for themselves.

Tell your kid to defend himself. Do not take any shit, hit the bully if he messed with you. In the nose preferably because it will make him tear up, giving you time to get away.
