All of my children were bullied.
I raised my children to be kind and respectful. They were good looking and smart, never got into trouble. We pulled them out of public school and sent them to charter school.
For my oldest, the linebacker, the bullying got worse. Because he was so big and strong, he was loathed to hurt someone. He finally fought back and beat the hell out of his bully. We removed him from the charter school and put him back in public school. When we were enrolling him again, a young man with a snarky attitude called out to my son and said, “Hey, TJ, what are you doing here?”
I turned around, sized this kid up, and replied,”He beat a bully so bad the kid was hauled away in ambulance. Any questions?”
There was only one minor incident for my eldest in high school. As soon as it happened, I was in the Assistant Principal’s office with my attorney on speed dial. I made it clear that the next time someone struck my son, I was pressing charges, suing the family, and suing the school.
No more bullying for him.
My middle child has an endocrine disorder. Was bullied for that. Same thing; momma hell-fire and threats of lawsuits.
My youngest, who is autistic, was bullied daily and became suicidal. Moved him to a different school where he is protected as part of a program.
My kids don’t drink, smoke, do drugs, lie, cheat, steal or fool around. I raised them for God’s world, not this one.
That makes them a target.
You children were/are blessed to have you there for them.
You don’t intimidate easily; school official or not.
Each child had their own story, their own set of challenges.
