My son came back from school yesterday with busted lip. He had another fight in school. Same thing happened few months ago. I don’t want to tell me what is going on there. I don’t even know who is guilty he or the other boy. It seems that I can be sure anymore that my child is safe in school. My husband said thanks God that is only busted lip, but I am worried. I don’t want to wait that something worse happened.

Oh, I know. My child is in the school football team .There is always some bully in the school that abuse other kids. Once they have a fight during the football match. And he came back from the school with busted lip and bruisers all over the face. I was terrified. I went to school immediately and asked for help. You want believe me what they told me! “Your son may be suspended from the school because of the fight” ...and he was only defending him self. Even the busted lip wasn’t enough evidence for them.

I'm not a parent - heck, I'm only 15 years old, but I think I can help you. When I was younger in Elementary School, I was bullied on by a group of hot-shots that pretty much ran the school (or at least it seemed like that).

The teachers always avoided being in the areas where fights usually happened, I'm not exactly sure why. But I do think this happens to a lot of schools. Anyways, I got jumped by a couple of these kids later for no reason, and got beat-up pretty badly. One of my teeth was chipped slightly, my lip was busted, I had bruises all over my chest. I avoided the problem until my dad saw me walk out of the bathroom (after taking a shower) with the bruises. He went to the school and talk it over with the Principal, and the exact same thing happened. They said they have no proof of me being jumped and trying to defend myself, and indirectly threatend my dad to stop persuing with the matter or my record would be marked.

Anyways, my father took me to some boxing classes to teach me more self-defense, and I learned a good amount. It kept me in good shape, I was taught more discipline, and I finally was good enough to defend myself from those bullies in only self-defense.

And trust me, it may sound like a cruel thing to do to your child now, but I recommend doing it for the best. It taught me a lot and I gained more respect. Not to mention after the second time they jumped me, I was able to defend myself, and run to a teacher and explain what happened quickly. From what I noticed, all bullies stop picking on the kid(s) once they see they're not able to threaten you anymore.

That's all I have to say. I hope my advice can help and hopefully your son is going to gain something from it too (like I did).

Thanks,
