Ds started Y7 at our local high school this month. It was not my first choice but we had no other option really. As a school it is improving and overall I am pretty happy with it.
There have been a few incidents though. Ds said that as he was going to class one day an older boy shouted in his ear for no reason. A few days ago ago again going to class he accidentally got in someone's way and they started pushing him and his friends around. Ds and friends reported this to the Year Head, but so far nothing has been done. One day on the way home from school two older boys started walking with him and making rude comments about some teachers. They threatened to come home with him but then didn't. Ds said he was a bit worried about it.
When I think back to my school days this kind of thing was pretty normal and part of me thinks ds needs to toughen up and deal with the real world but are these incidents signs of problems at the school or would they happen in most places?

Is this normal for a typical ordinary state high school?
