Son bullying

Son goes to the local high school, in first year, in Scotland. He’s been best friends with a boy since primary 2. My son is very shy and the other boy quite outgoing. They are in the same classes in high school. My son has came home a few times saying his friend hasn’t been nice to him, ordering him to get his lunch, kicking his chair. I just let it pass. Yesterday he came home saying he deliberately shoved in against a wall, told him to feck of a few times, belittled him in front of the class, asked another boy to throw something at him, which the other boy didn’t. Orders him to go and get his lunch. Kicking his chair. I messaged his friends mum and he’s been dealt with. His mums so angry with him for behaving like this. His friends denying most of it. Now my sons refusing to go to school in case everyone in his class calls him a grass. The mother says he won’t be telling any of the class anything.

I'm not a parent, but it's a bit weird that his...best friend would be bullying him in high school, although maybe I read that wrong and it's a different friend. Maybe they had an argument. Your son will need to not tolerate it regardless, not acceptable behavior. Maybe they had a fight or there's more to the story in any case.... I think be happy that it's been resolved. Hopefully all good now. :)

Its not that weird for kids that have been friends through primary to not be friends at secondary. Its also not weird that kids starting secondary go out of their way to act the big I am in front of their new peers and an easy way to do this is target kids you already know. I would encourage your son to find a new group of friends, join some after school clubs etc, this boy is obviously getting too big for his boots.
