IUnderstand where your coming from in relation to the H.S. years, I agree a highschool age kid really doesn't need to be running to the faculty for every little snarl and snicker unless issues become threatening or dangerous for a submissive sort of student, and then likewise most decent classmates would keep any real jerks in check pretty good..
My oldest , a daughter had a couple of situations with boys popping the Bra strap in Jr. H.S. after getting off the bus a few days in a row crying,Dad had about all he was gonna take.. I sat down with my Daughter and explained that One simple note to her principle would most likely fix this problem.I wrote the note with her help because I needed names, addressed to the principle explaining that on so many occasions my daughter had gotten off the bus in tears complaining that Johnny/billy and tommy such and such was invading her personal space and their pier pressure bravery has led to a lot ofphysical abuse, and _____ my daughter has been instructed by me to Kick the Living SH(& out of the first one that had an exposed groin, now if he didn't want to have to explain to the boys parents why it has come to this, then I will be at his office on the day of this event to explain to the boys parents myself, and it won't be pretty for me or the boys parents..
sealed the envelope, and instructed my daughter to give it to the principal .. well I recieved a PH.call from said principallate the next eve. and he assured me all is well with the boys, and they fully understand what the letter read..
The most memorable situation with my oldest son, was after utilizing the chain of command of teach,princpl,then the bullying of three boys continued, I just told him to pick the one with the loudest mouth and lay him out,, and I mean relentlesly, make him remember you for the rest of his life,, well thats what my son did, the parentscalled my house and mommy chewed me up one side and down the other, My son is afraid of your son attacking him and doesn't want to go to school anymore,,I oughta call the state police on you,, or better yet how would you like my husband to come over and beat you up like your son did mine,, All I told her was to call the school and speak with Mr. so and so, and the teacher Mrs. so and so, and if she had anymore questions please don't hesitate to call me back and I'd see if I could ablige her or her husband.. well a couple of days later her husband called me back and apologized all over himself, and would've never believed his son would relentlessly try to humiliate someone like that, and he admitted his son got what he truely deserved..
