son who is 9's diary entry. advice pls

[StephoooH]

Hi. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. I was googling and came across a post on here about bullying and seemed to be in the right spot but then I saw what the site was about and thought it would actually be good to ask about the actual situation.

My son is 9 sorry about the writing far too lazy to type all out!

I found this on his draw next to his bed which is where all his current stuff he uses is and he has denied all knowledge! But his face was like an absolute tomato. I have promised that I'm always here for him etc etc but he still denies. It's sad to se my little man wrote that :( I can't just leave it, surely?? Help

Well done OP, a very calm but taking no BS way of dealing with it. He's a lucky boy to have such a great mummy.

That handwriting looks fine, they clearly don't know 9 year olds...

And my first crush was on a ginger, i've always had a thing for them (seth green in buffy is still swoonful)

[wallybantersjunkbox]

Headmaster sounds brilliant. What s cool way to handle it, protecting and uplifting your DS in one swoop.

Hope you feel better today OP. Well done for not being bamboozled by the admin.

[Emeralda]

Well handled, OP!

[Italiangreyhound]

sorenoggin are you for real? The Op handled things really well, and for her son's best interests. No one can identify him from his handwriting and hair colour.

[Italiangreyhound]

StephoooH I love the line "So I said that when there is an appointment available, give me a call and my son will be back in to school."

[ThumbWitchesAbroad]

Or from the OP, since this is an anonymous forum. So, y'know, not really making his secret "public" as such, since no one knows who he is.

You did well StephoooH

[Italiangreyhound]

"...yes I hope deep down he did want me to find it" I am very sure he did.

Bullying is always wrong and should be stopped.

My husband is a redhead, so was hoping for beautiful flame-haired babies. Five children later, and not one (3 blond, 2 brown). Am bloody furious, so am going to get a ginger dog instead.

Although, on a more serious note, DH is not at all disappointed that none of our children have his hair. I think he endured his fair share of teasing when younger :(

Good luck with your son, Steph. He sounds like a poppet and I hope all his tomorrows are better!

[summerdreams]

I think it is a form of racism you are being bullied for the colour or you hair. It may not have history but it's imo very similar.

[DisgraceToTheYChromosome]

Well done OP! As a former bullied redhead, I salute you.

Mind you, they stopped bullying redheads when my younger brother arrived. He was met with the usual taunts, hit the nearest one with a chair, then caught the slowest one and slammed the door on his head. Not recommended these days.

Get him some worry dolls?

If he is worried about something he can put one under his pillow to let you know and you will find it in the morning and then find a good time to have a chat.

If he is being bullied please remind him he needs to let a teacher or school worker he knows and trusts know every single time something happens.

cd he get an amazing haircut to help him feel better? Def let the school know if you think they will handle it so indirectly that no one will catch on that you complained -as it might cause a backlash.

[AngieU]

I think his hair is awesome how it is! Look at it!

[Hecegoza]

How sad I'm glad things have been sorted!

You obviously can't identify him, so don't worry about that... What lovely hair!

[limon]

Poor, poor boy :( Lots of cuddles and listening and straight to the school.

[Kariana]

I'm glad they are sorting it.

I also love what you said to make them get the Head. I'll remember that for the future!

[CoraPirbright]

Well done OP and I am glad that the school appear to be handling it well.
