HANDLING BULLIES


My Grandson is not the usual candidate for a bully
He is a black belt in Martial arts a hockey player
But you do not fight in school
So when the bully tormented him and others each day
He had no choice but to tell his parents
They in turn went to the school
The school said there was nothing they could do
If they entered into every conflict that would be all they did
His mother and dad said kick his butt
My Grandson was expelled one day from school
The bully sported a black eye and bruises
The bully has stopped and changed lunch hour
Asked if he feared retaliation, "He wants no part of me."
He stopped bullying all the kids his gang broke up
"Gramps, it was a four punch fight he bullied with his mouth."
The adult in me said you have to be his friend.
Not a chance he has been doing this since grade school
Beware of the little kid who is a black belt
