How Far Would You Go To Help Your Bullied Child? | Loose Women

[@janemasini356]

When my kids were bullied at school ! I confronted the parents ,as the teachers didn't do anything!!😮 I'm glad I did what I did!!

[@lone8869]

Tbh there isn't much the teaching staff can do. Their hands are tied. They can only speak with the parents. Excluding a child is always overturned by the education authorities.

[@kevinheath7588]

Yep I would do the same, but then I'm from a council estate and violence was an everyday occurrence. So such don't faze me.

[@joywoodford5182]

I met with the child and the child's mother with my child and explained how the bullying affected my child and his entire family who care and love him. That nipped it in the bud. If it didn't, I would find myself attending school each day and sitting and watching and intervening if anything went in the wrong direction. Absolutely no tolerance for bullies

[@tricksie88]

Unfortunately some children are raised in harsh and hostiles homes and takes it out on their school peers becuase they can't express themselves at home. Agree parents can't allow their children to be at the mercy of the bullies (who are tormented little souls) as children can be quite cruel. I agree with your approach be very vigilant and tackle it head on.

[@TheHouseofcoolstuff]

I totally agree with the guy that who are the parents of these bullies. As a parent I’ll be embarrassed to know am rising a bully. Parents need to take more responsibility for what their children are doing.

[@maria.mobile017]

Go Auntie. We always need an adult to step up and deal with this

[@arlenemenzies5597]

My daughter,was bullied in primary school,and secondary school,all the teachers said to her,was to ignore the bully,yeah rite,wake up teachers and c wot is going on,the children r in ur care,finally the bully left school,and my daughter is getting peace now.

[@nj5293]

It's easier to deal with in primary school as the parents are usually there collecting the child. After trying with the school for 3 months, I spoke to the parent. That boy never touched my child again. When another child did it I again spoke to the parent. That boy came to school the next day complaining his dad beat him and wished my son didn't report it. Reading these comments makes me think I should take my child kickboxing.

[@xragdoll5662]

I went to four different schools and was bullied and badly beat from age 9-19 and it affected me greatly. I stayed in school only to complete my education. The teachers don’t do anything, even with proof, sometimes the kids won’t listen to their parents. On top of it, I had abusive parents so I can safely say just be there for your kids and understanding

[@skkeech]

Parents and teachers HAVE to stand up to bullying. I was bullied for years, one of the boys would even grab my chest -- that's SA! The boys involved should have been expelled! I hated school because no one stood up against bullying. And, yes, I did report it.

[@ClareDSummer24]

Sorry you had to go through that 😔

[@MummaK1DonDonz]

Sorry to hear this sending love 💜🫶🏼

[@tricksie88]

I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Shows bullying isn't about just teasing but can get nasty and serious quite quickly.

[@xNiikix]

My mum stormed into my school 20+ years ago & confronted a bully. It wasn’t ideal & she was called into the school to be told she shouldn’t have done that but the school did nothing for years beforehand. Constant excuses. I have a 6month old & I do worry now what life will be like when he goes to school

[@MummaK1DonDonz]

I abdolutly hate bullies my daughter got bullied and because of this she didnt get to finish yr 11 and didnt sit her exams the school was a waste of time and this absolutly broke my heart as a mother i took action got mental health team involved as it got very bad now my daughter has a tutor come to the house to help prepare for her exams next year she is in such a better place and she did some mock exams she got 94%out of 100 and 100% out of 100 she is the happiest now and i am so proud of her bullies really can affect somones life still til this day she hasnt told me there names because i would have gone straight to the parents house no question but i listend to my daughter and this is not how she wanted me to deal with it we deal with it our way and her success is speaking for itself and now to see her smile back on her face is all that counts to me if anyone is ever being bullied dont be afraid to speak up or tell somone you are not alone 🫶🏼🙏🏼💜💙

[@karenmarriott4479]

20 yrs ago I confronted my child’s bully in the school playground because the school,wouldn’t listen. Turned everything upside down, although I completely understand how it could have become a huge problem for me. Problem solved

[@anniehowell6266]

i went to a 'good' school. they hid the bullying. i refused to go to school and they brought my mum in and said they refused to do anything about the bullying. this was 10 years ago but its made me homeschool my kids

[@chrisilogan8059]

I confronted the child and parent at their home when my daughter was being bullied. I threatened if it didn’t stop a flyer would be put through every door of their street and next. It stopped

[@carolefranks5489]

As a mother, and a widow with two daughters of 10 and 12, the biggest mistake I made was to tell my daughters 'if anyone bullies you then go tell a teacher.' What I should have said was 'if anyone hits you then hit them back harder and walk away. I'll deal with any complaints about it.' I was incredibly naive to think that these bullies or their parents could be reasoned with.

[@hinaz85]

Thats so hard especially when you're lone parenting

[@haileycooper6252]

I told my son if someone hits him to him them back. School disagree and say he shouldn't retaliate. He's missed breaks and lunches before because he has hit someone back. He will hit them back then tell the teacher they hit me so I hit them back. He gets upset as he gets punished for standing up for himself. I said to my son it doesnt matter if you miss your break time. Its important you stood up for yourself. We have told teachers many times that we tell our son never to hit first but if someone hits you then hit them back. We do this because we have had a few issues including a child using a bracelet over his knuckles to punch my child in the face and my child got punished because he swung his lunch bag at the kid that was doing this to him then my child told his teacher what happened including that he swung his lunch bag at the other kid. My son feels he can't tell teachers anything as they don't fix issues and if he stands up for himself he gets punished so it's a lose lose situation

[@carolefranks5489]

@haileycooper6252 it's heartbreaking to know that your child is being bullied, I know. All I can advise is that you make sure your son has a sound sense of fairness and of what is right or wrong. Make sure he knows that you love and support him and the other child is the one who has a problem, not your son. Give him a strong sense of self worth and validity. Bullies are usually cowards themselves and act out of jealousy or frustration with their own failings or circumstances. Unfortunately, sometimes we just have to accept that some people are just made that way and cannot be reasoned with. My daughters are in their 30s now and I couldn't be more proud of the wonderful people they have become. Your son's time will come too.

[@peterwilliamskelhorn6675]

​@@carolefranks5489i was bullied in secondary school because i was with my best friend Kevin all the time on the playground or in the boys changing room. I'm gay and he's straight but i never told anyone back then because kids can be cruel. My mum had seen bruises on my legs i couldn't tell her what was wrong(with being autistic) so i wrote it down for her she got the bullies expelled

[@crazycatpetera1404]

Put kids in martial arts from a very young age (around 3-5ish) before bullying ever becomes an issue, they’ll probably never need to use it. But often physical intimidation is the reason why kids are so hesitant to stand up to verbal intimidation “I better not respond to him/her abusing or bullying me because if she starts on me I’m f*cked“.. etc

[@Trish-ql9kz]

I was bullied at age 12 by two girls in my class until one day my 14 year old sister caught them pulling my hair, well let’s just say that was the last time after the beating she gave them

[@rachelpeters7979]

I have spoken to two lots of parents because of bulling b4 and 1 rang me, and we got it sorted, and the other said she would sort it but never

[@AgoniesAunt]

Nadia, as an aside... that colour and your make up today make you look radiant! Suits you very well. Congrats to your make-up and wardrobe team!

[@thescarecrow.8581]

Sorry but if anyone was bullying my child or my own. I would go scorched Earth. You always protect you or your own.

[@lawriephillipasequeira8592]

The parents are in denial

[@pamelaiverson5527]

Why am I not surprised that is Nadia’s non solution.

[@faystalker9851]

The school if they reported so many times expel them schools don't like reporting them education board

[@persephone3309]

I think it has to be something all parents are involved in, whether your child is the bully or the one being bullied. Please raise your children to be as kind as possible. If they do bully someone, don't turn a blind eye, or use the excuse "they're just being kids". Prevent it so it doesn't have to lead to it in the first place

[@sherimillman53]

What a woman 😮

[@nicholedowning8341]

My children “should” have been bullied. What I mean by that is my oldest is a redhead and my youngest is mixed. We were so so blessed that it didn’t happen. And honestly, I think it was because the universe or God or whatever you believe in was watching out for me. No lie, I would be in jail. I would have snatched up the kid, their mom, and their grandmother if I could find her. I have never played when it came to my children. They are grown now thank goodness.

Loose women AND men…. What is happening to this show…

[@clarkpatient7950]

They've had this segment for years and years. It's not a new thing.

[@mary.t.74729]

Teachers cant do anything in my eyes. Kids dont really tell u fully whats going and u cannot follow the bullies around 24/7 to stop them. They will do it sneakily. I would pull my kid out of school immediately and never send them back. These bullies are unbelievably ruthless and evil. And if the trauma gets bad enough they will live with it their whole lives! Pull them out of school before the bullying goes to next step and the trauma lasts a lifetime. Now they do it online too so kids cant even get away from it at home, id delete all their social media and make all new accounts too!

[@amandabuffery5749]

Very well said

[@Jane-dg3rr]

Couldn’t agree with you more …. Very well said 🌸🌸

[@peterwilliamskelhorn6675]

My mum noticed bruises on my legs and i wrote down everything that happened and my mum sorted it out and the headteacher expelled the 3 bullies. He got m6 best friend Kevin to confirm everything. Not long after that we did some dancing for PE it was a f... You dance
