to be annoyed at the teenage girls on ds's school bus who were trying to kiss the boys including 9 year old ds?

[scrooged]

Then he got into trouble for trying to get away from them. It was his first time on a bus without me and didn't know what to do so he ran down the bus (I did talk to him about the safety aspect when he told me) and hid. He shouldn't have to do this though right? Should I contact the girls school tomorrow and complain? He's only 9 and they were all 14+ I'm so annoyed. AIBU?

At 14+ they know that it's wrong to try and force much younger boys to kiss them. It's about intimidation and humiliation - neither are particularly nice.

I think you should contact the girls school and make a complaint on your DS's behalf.

Regardless of their motives it still isn;t on for them to be doing this. And as others have said, more people would feel it out of order if it was 14y boys trying to kiss 9y girls too.

Yes, they may only be having a laugh but the little ones didn;t like it and were bothered enough to feel the need to move and hide. This is not fair on them. They have a right to travel on the school bus without feeling intimidated.

It is also a health and safety issue having children moving round the bus, and they could be a distraction for the driver.

I would call their school and pas son the information. Hopefully the head can then address the school about appropriate behaviour on the bus.

When I taught at a school that used school buses a lot, such chats fromthe head to pupisl was very normal. There were often reports of inappropriate or poor behaviour on school buses from different people and they were always acted upon. An that was a very good school - just the children seemed to go a bit mad on the bus.

Thankyou.

I think 14 is perfectly old enough to know what is appropriate behaviour with younger children and what is not.

Yes contact the school.

I totally understand how you feel as I know what my son's reaction would be.
