During the last Chinese New Year, my son got a watch from his uncle. He was overjoyed!
Everyday, he proudly wear his watch to school. Now he can tell us the time of the day.
Until last friday.
He came back from school without his watch!
I noticed it first. I asked him what happened. He said some boy exchange with him, a book for a watch. That boy promised to bring back the watch on Monday. Well, I thought everything was fine.
When the mother knew about this, she went into a fit. She scolded our son nicely. Only then the truth came out. Apparently, two boys punches him and take away his watch by force.
So young? They become a bully so young in their life? What happened to our society?
I went to the teacher, relating to her the incidence. Hopefully she will be able to solve this.
Let us know what the teacher did.
Bullying indeed start very young.
Giveyour boy credit for his creativity in inventing the story. I hope this is the first and last time he is bullied
I don’t think this is the first.
And sadly, I don’t think it will be the last.
I really want to know if the teacher has resolved it. Very important to snuff those bullies out at this age. In my son’s school bullies are very strictly dealt with, also they have programs teaching kids how to handle bullies.
Sigh, my heart goes out to your boy, do sit down with him and teach him how to handle the situation the next time a bully approaches him.
There’s no age limit for bullies la!
My son since kindergarten has been a constant target for bullies. He’s small-sized and has a good-temper. Unlike his fiery Mom. He would come home with his uniform covered with colourful writings like ‘Idiot’, ’stupid’…etc. Even the teachers started bullying him.
When I first knew of the bullying, I would go to school to see the teachers. I think it didn’t stop. I discovered later that my son, being the goody guy, covered up and kept mum after my visit to his teachers. Why can’t he be like his Mom? sigh…
When he was promoted to secondary school, it got worse. He was beaten up. He reported the incidents to the teachers but they didn’t take action. Then my son got really fed-up and secretly learnt martial arts. After a year, he kicked balls. hahaha…
I was angry when I first heard about him fighting but after my son’s explanations, I think he is right to fight back. One must never be too afraid or too soft on your perpetrators.
agree with eastcostlife
i did not experience being bullied and cannot remember if i bully some poor kids, i properly did…may be our time wasn’t as bad as it is now
when i was in school, i always got into the crowd, i make a lot of friends, with both black and white, and grey.
i think if you maintain a good relationship with classmates, school mates and teachers, the chance of getting bullied will be minimized because nobody (or less chances) will bully someone they know.
lone ranger and small size children always being the target…
this is a pathetic society, i am kind of worry too for my next generation…
so, did the teacher do anything?
if the teacher or the school do not do anything about bullying, I think you might want to consider changing school. Praise to your wife for being able to find out the truth from your son, if not, he will continue to keep finding excuses and keep hiding the truth about him being bullied. Teach children way to handle bullies is always good. Tell children, they should tell/call for the teachers immediately when bullied and when the other students (and bullies) see that he can stand up to them and ‘protect’ himself, they will tend to leave him alone.
‘gangsterism’ starts from kindi nowadays? uhh??!!!
Now days the gangsterism really getting worst. Should report to Police too.
I cant imagine this: The police arrest kids from kindergarten
Apa maciam sekarang? Can get back the watch and hunt the boys or not? If manage to get the gangster, use your needle to cucuk their backside.
Is this resolved?
Poor child…
Doc, u’ve to teach him some “kung fu” or self defense!!??
