Bullying at school
Never thought I would blog again....but a friend of mine persuaded me...so here I am....
Those dreaded days are here...I thought I wouldn't have to deal with it so soon....but I think Arjun,my son, is a victim of bullying. Its been 2 weeks since school reopened after Diwali vacations. There is a kid in his class who seems to be picking on Arjun for no apparent reason. I tried asking him if he had done something to him, but he replied in the negative.
Everyday there is some or the other story about his books getting torn, all his pencils breaking, his bag getting thrown about...so on. Initially I did not pay much attention thinking its just one of those things that he will have to deal with...but its starting to get worse now. I am still not sure if I am over reacting..but I cant see my baby being pushed around like that.
I have tried explaining to him that he should tell the teacher or warn that guy before he does something. But none of that has made any difference, the pest continues to trouble him. I think once or twice Arjun even hit out at him, but even that hasn't stopped him.
Today I asked the hubby to meet his class teacher and find out what the deal is. But apparently she is absent today. So asked him to try again tomorrow. Hopefully things should get sorted out.
If not I plan on meeting this kid's mom/dad or whoever it is that comes to drop him to school.
I am still in two minds about whether I should interfere or just let them sort this out on their own....the adult in me says let it be...but the mom(who is stronger) wont let it go :D
