I am really worried about my son, who has been at the same school since Y2 (now graduating from Y6).
This weekend, he burst into tears, complaining that he was being bullied and picked on by two boys in his class (one of whom he considered a friend until last week, the other one has been giving him a hard time all year, but used to be a friend.) I am friends with both boys' mums, and met them for coffee last week, not knowing anything was wrong.
There are very few boys in the class and the ringleader has made a think of belittling and excluding my son, even in front of me (I raised this with his mother, but doesn't seem to have made a difference).
I've raised this with school but they don't seem able to do anything either.
DS is being picked on because he is less sporty and streetwise, and less mature than the other boys - it's just so harsh to see a really sweet, happy go lucky and kind child picked on continually, with no real comeback for the bullies.
He's asked if he can be homeschooled and it's just breaking my heart to see him like this.
Any advice on how to deal with this, please?
