This is definitely a soapbox subject for me. I've ranted about this so many times, I even get fed up listening to myself at times.

This is just typical of the school system. They take the victims and isolate them instead of taking the bullies and punishing them. I've never been able to understand why this happens. Even if its only one kid that doing all the bullying, they seem to be reluctant to remove them from the school. Our local school has this "fantastic" scheme of making the victim and the bully sit down and discuss the problem. Seriously! As if that's going to make any difference. The victim is afraid to speak, the bully knows he's got the upper hand and is not about to be removed from the school. And when they go back out, the bullying starts all over again. In other words the bully gets off scot free and therefore can happily continue where he left off. When are the authorities going to realise that this is not working................they have to start dealing with the offenders here and not ostracizing the victims. Its a bliddy joke.

I feel very sorry for this young boy. Isolation is not good for any child, never mind one that is being bullied. :( I have a niece and nephew who have red hair, they would not let bullies get to them. So the bullies looked for somebody else to pick on .
This mother should get OSFED involved. The school are not looking after this young boys schooling or welfair.

My 15 year old, got excluded for a day. Because he was caught smoking with others. He was the only one excluded, because the teacher said he only seen him with the cig. Even though they knew that all the pupils were in smokers corner.
I went into school, told them, I did not agree with the exclusion, Due to him being the only pupil out of the eight. To be excluded.

I do not agree with him smoking. Nobody else smokes in the family.

I believe the schools have different ways of dealing with individual pupils.

In my experience bullies have always been like wolves, they run in packs and when you separate them from their pack, they're not so brave. Bullying needs to be stamped out and the methods schools are forced to use today are doing nothing to sort the problem. All this soft option malarkey which is prevalent in Britain today doesn't work. Punish them properly for what they've done, don't punish the victims.

Poor little kid. As you rightly say Amy, it's a hair colour!! Why pick on someone for the colour of their hair??
Bullies are spineless cowards. My youngest was picked on over our local park once. Some older kid picked him up and tried to take him into the woods. I called the police and he never touched him again.

A girl screamed in his ear over the park and nearly deafened him. I called the police and they went to the school. She tried to act all hard but she soon bawled her eyes out. Never happened again.

At the moment there is some nasty kid calling him a cripple. (he has serious health issues, long story). It's being done on X Box though, (you know how kids can chat etc on there). He's blocked him so he can't talk to him, but if it happens at school, they will deal with it. I can't fault them there, they are very good. I wont tolerate anyone picking on my kids. You pick on them you pick on me.

I've told him to treat all bullies with the contempt they deserve. What makes me mad is how some parents refuse to believe their little darlings could be horrible.

Some parents can only see the good in their children.
I have always looked at both side of the story. Told my children if they were in the wrong, and explained to them why.

That's a huge problem nowadays. Too many parents as you say, can only see good in their children. They're not doing them any favours with that. You have to be able to see if your children are doing wrong and deal with it. I always made sure I had the whole story before I decided who was right and who was wrong. But if it was mind I did my best to sort it.
