Re: --Dealing With BULLIES?

@Ask99

My older daughter is being bullied by a class mate. It was not a big issue in the beginning but now since their seating changed, this bully kid is sitting next to her now. This girls constantly tries to get in her face as to speak. I have tried telling my daughter to walk away(now she cant as she is sitting next to her) to just laugh it off instead of getting angry. I dont want to bail her out of the situation by talking to her teacher and changing seats etc. I dont want my daughter to think that there is an “easy button” for her to press and things will be taken care of.I have seen that she doesnt stand up for herself..and that is the thing I want her to do instead of being shoved pushed etc by whoever has more power.
Today she didnt want to go to school, the affect is apparent as she is having bouts of anger at home that is usually directed at her younger sibling.
Any tips or experiences? I dont know what else to do except for maybe put her in self defence classes.

u no what my mom taught me…if a kids bullies u…bully em back……thas the desi way i guess…
