HELP! My son is being bullied.

hopefillsme

My 11 year old son writes a blog about his life, abs what it's like to be awesomely Aspergers. Except it doesn't feel very awesome this week. He is experiencing ongoing bullying and is struggling to cope.

if you have a moment please do visit his blog and send him a word of encouragement . if you enjoy reading and/or relate in any way to his outlook and experiences in life in general... Please do comment or even better, 'follow' his blog to share our journey

i hope through his honesty that others feel they are not alone. He'd love to make friends...

please take a look

any parenting thoughts welcome on the blog too... It's sort of a joint venture with me ... Mum!

ive been to visit the headteacher today at school and really hoping it gets addressed in the right way ....

  • I had a difficult school life, it did ease down sometime from about when I was 13 years old. I was withdrawn, but got my head stuck in to the lessons as a kind of escape. I started the school as a low achiever, but left as one of the most promising students. I had an offer of full time job offer as a computer programmer in the early 80s, just before my sixteenth birthday, when it jobs were extremely rare.

    There will always be people/kids who recognise that socially other people are lacking in social skills. Some of them play on this to differing degrees; I had tried to sort one bully out with help from my mother, by asking her to approach the parents, but that backfired when she mentioned it to my teachers.

    Your son needs to try and avoid any confrontation as much as he can. Yes, clubs can be of help. That's the physical side, but bullies play on the emotional and mental side of things, that's a much tougher nut to crack.

    Try and help him recognise that some people are not like they appear to be, the many different levels of friendship, and to be careful about kids who suddenly appear to be very friendly, when they have generally ignored or avoided him in the past.

    Help him to express and share a few common interests with other children, I think that is what helped me.
