How do I best deal with this?

I have my DS9 in tears tonight, worrying about something that happened at school today. He's been fine all afternoon and evening but it's just all spilled out at bedtime!

He has a 'friend' in his class who lives close to us and they play football outside together and sometimes he comes round to my house. He's always polite to me but lately I've started to think he's a bit of a bully.

My son told him a few months ago that he had a crush on someone at school. For some reason today, this boy started telling everyone and teasing him about it, relentlessly. DS is now worried about going in tomorrow and is in a bit of a state. He also told me that this boy sometimes kicks his chair as he walks past and when I said to DS that he should tell him to stop, he says he just laughs and carries on doing it. He also told me tonight that this boy shoved him once because he said my DS said something, which he has denied.

I want to put a stop to this tomorrow morning. Do I speak to DS's teacher? I am so cross tonight I feel like going round this boy's house and speaking to the parents (obviously I won't but that's how I feel). Advice please!

DS doesn't want any trouble just a quiet life. He undoubtedly gets that from me as I also hate confrontation but I am more than willing to take on anyone to protect my boy!

Been through this kind of stuff before. I think you just need to take his lead. I normally ask if they want me to speak to the teacher on their behalf or leave them to deal with it themselves. But always making it clear I am on their side, believe them completely, and will help if they want me to. It feels crap to step back but I think he needs some autonomy over the situation, feel like he's in control.
