You need to get in touch with the school administration office...they can and will light a fire under the principals butt! This is not an issue that should be pushed to the backburner, or take too long to resolve. It is a serious thing! Not that your son would do this, but it has been proven and documented that kids who are bullied severely have been the ones in recent news reports to bring guns to school and go on a shooting rampage! They do this to get the attention of the adult school leadrers whom they have been asking for help, and to retaliate against their bulliers. Bullying is a very serious situation...no one should ever tell you that you are over reacting...especially when your son is a teenager and more prone to emotional damage, and big enough to do physical damage! (As opposed to a 3rd grader being bullied.) Definately call the school administration office. Their number is public record, and should be in the phone book, if you have a hard time finding it, call information or ask the school office to supply it to you-it's your right as a parent. If the school refuses to do anything about it, you actually CAN file a police report against this other kid. I had a friend of mine do that for her daughter. My oldest daughter is 14, and thank god she has'nt experienced this, and i hope she never has to, but i do understand the dynamics of teenagers and know how stupid, selfish, and petty some of them can be over little things. I wish you luck, and i hope my advice helps!
