Hi All.
Need to start off saying that I can tend to worry a little where my kids are concerned (out of their sight of course) so if this isn't bullying please tell me.
I have 9 yr old twin boys in Yr5.
Since they started reception there has always been 1 boy who controls the class, I've always referred to him as a psychological bully.
He decides who gets to play football at play time, who people can talk to, "You can be in our gang if you don't talk to X" that kind of thing.
Over the years so many children in the class have fallen foul of his negative attention and I know a number of parents who do just despise his behaviours.
Over the past few months my two boys have become good friends with a couple of lads in "his gang", playing together on xbox, going round houses etc.
But this boy has started excluding my boys, kicking them from the party on the xbox, not speaking to them at school and tonight he sent them a message saying "You suck, you suck, you suck".
I've spoken to another Mum and last week he got a few other lads to gang up on her son on the xbox, and destroy all his buildings. He was so upset he has stopped playing.
I also found out that a couple of weeks ago, he had been being horrible to a boy in their class and my DS stepped in and told him to stop, and it then descended into a physical fight.
I have to say my boys aren't overly upset, they're still happy to go to school, laughing etc, but I'm worried he is going to make their other friends stop playing with my boys and I think that would upset them.
Is it bullying? Should I speak to the school??
Thoughts would be so appreciated
