Hello, I don't know what to do. My son is 11 - just gone in to secondary school....he is thin, average height and wears glasses.
Anyway, they are supposed to enter through the changing rooms and yesterday as he went in, a boy 2 years older kicked him in the stomach and laughed. My son tried to throw a punch back and ran. He told me this as soon as I collected him and I asked had he told a teacher - he had not. This morning he did not want to go to school and actually had tears in his eyes as he got out of the car! The thing is he almost never cries so I was stunned, the child must be terrified. He is not in the least streetwise and it had never entered my head to tell him how to handle the situation. I can only presume you are not meant to hit back but I suppose you have to defend yourself. My husband is furious and wants to withdraw him from an otherwise good school.What should I say to him or what should I do. I have felt sick all day myself worrying about it. Going to big school has been overwhelming enough....his schoolbag is heavier than him!
