There is nothing more painful to a parent when they can not help their child. I was a teacher for many years and volunteered with pre-k to 12 children for additional 10 years. There are anti-bully campaigns that have started in schools and I agree with the others that have said go to the school and advice them of this.
There is nothing more important to the understanding and learning of a child then good information. Go to the library and get age appropriate books. Be the person you want your child to be; if he is sweet and caring keep him that way by not lying to him about the truth about foolish or ignorant people.
This is one of life lessons and you are the teacher...
The best option for you is to tell your son to ignore his friend. The last thing you want is a suspended child at the end of the school year. You as a parent need to find ways to help stop this from continuing.
You should go to the school and have talk with the counselor, teachers, and principal. It seem as if your child is getting bullied and your son is all ready emotional. Just go to school and see what you can figure out.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
