As a mother of a teenager I hear these stories way too often. I see you are in the U.K. and I am not acquainted with their laws. I do know that you are not the only one over there going through this same situation whether it be a state school or private. In a chatroom recently we had a U.K. mother distraught over the bullying her son was receiving in a elementary class. Her son made the correct decision to tell his mother and she took over the matter. I read where you have done that and that the police are involved. This is the first thing that anyone needs to do. DO NOT ACCEPT the statement from the school that they will 'take care of it' because they won't unless given instructions from a higher authority ie: Attorney, Judge, Child Protective Services. Unfortunately in many of these horrible bullying situations the Parent ends up having to relocate their child to another school. May I suggest that you and your friends also research anti-bullying sites and books that teach assertiveness. CelticGH ( taking the bat away from Senbecc and carving it into a walking stick.)

CelticGH ( taking the bat away from Senbecc and carving it into a walking stick.) wise words, celticgh!! this is especially true; some schools (like zoes) are so big and busy that the teachers have more important things to do. it is sad to say that school are like that here in england.

I know, these days fighting back probably isn't the wisest course of action, but that was the way I was raised...If I let myself be bullied and my parents found out I was in deep crap lol. My dad always used to talk about how in the 60's at work, if there was a fight, they just fought it out and went back to work...It seems as time goes by people get less and less accepting of these sorts of things. I appreciate the walking stick though! *hobbles off*

This is sooo true, in this case the victim is being punished as well which is not right, this is the reason we got the police because it would of continued until someone got seriously hurt. Yep soo true their are 1500 students at my school and 100 teachers half of which dont really care. I had a friend a while back that had to leave school cause of bullying when she told her tutor he said " its none of my bussiness" its appaling. Thanks every1 for your support

I think that school size thing is BS personally, the teachers should care regardless. My school had about 2100 kids enrolled, and teh teachers were mostly pretty involved and caring. The Assistant Principles know most of the kids and if this kind of thing happened and they knew about the campus cop would be all over it. Our administration could smell a fight from a half mile away and would come running (We had some gang issues, I saw them literally running on several occasions to stop anything from happening). Sounds like your school district needs to rethink some of it's "policies" on things like this. And I totally agree with getting the cops involved. We had some serious slander going on in jr high, and my friend, the victim called the cops and the girls who were bullying were relocated immediately and I've never seen or heard from them again.

I must concour with lela. Our school is large and the administration is considerably small and they keep us in perfect order. No squabbles nothing. Bullies don't stand a chance. I think that all bullies are scum...they are all going to pay though.

I'm glad to hear it's getting resolved! And I've heard about Chav's before actually, always crap like this too. Sounds almost like a British whitekid version of gangs, only without any of the near family-like friendships or well organized business crime (and all the violence and bad reputation).
