The Weird Kid In ClassThere was a kid in my class who stood up every day and told everyone he had new shoes. This went on for weeks, and we all thought him nuts. Then, one day, he stood up and told us a long story about why his family were moving to another part of the country, and how excited he was. The next thing we heard was that he'd died in a plane crash.
Let's hear about the weird kid in your class...

Stop Bullying?...I was bullied at school, on and off for a period of 6 years, and it was largely inevitable.
The parents of these children simply didnt care when told of their actions. They responded with indifference, disinterest in the living hell their dear little offspring were creating for me. Or with incredulity that they couldn't possibly be doing this thing.
If you want to stop bullying at source, best stop it at the parent level.
I teach my kids to stick up for themselves, but not to pick on people. I encourage them to go against the flow and stand up for the little guys, the weirdoes and the misfits. One day a lot of them will fit and wont be weird.
I just hope that my kids listen and dont pick unecessarily on others, rest assured if I found out that they were, I would make sure they stopped it.
