I can't take this anymore!!!

[Anonymous]

There is this boy who bullies my little brother and on Saturday he decided he would follow my brother around. I promptly stopped him and said. ''take your chair and stay with your sister and leave my brother alone.'' He began to argue with me and said he was only going to see what he was doing. I told him ''You're not going to play with him today because last time you poured water on his head and pushed him off the swing, that behavior is unacceptable and rude and he won't be playing with you anymore if you keep abusing him. And you owe him an apology.'' He quietly went to his seat and colored but did not apologize so my brother did not play with him. About 45 minuets later at lunch he begins crying to his mom. So his mother begins to feed him. The boy is 9 he does not need to be babied but anyway. He told his mom that I said they couldn't be friends anymore and that my brother wants to play with him but I won't let him. Meanwhile my brother said he didn't want to. His mom then lets him talk to my mom and he told her ''it's all a misunderstanding and I misunderstood what happened and that's not what happened and it would never happen again but still did not apologize. But my dad witnessed this event so of course my mom already knows he's lying.

He later went to my sister and said how he has a problem with me and I was rude to him. Mind you the child is a disrespectful 9 year old. He proceeds to say that he doesn't like playing with another boy but he deals with it. And my brother should do that same. His sister was like you were kicking him last time that's not nice. And can you believe he had the nerve to say the child looked like he was enjoying it. My sister asked him does someone crying and hiding under the table look like they're enjoying to you? He was super quiet after that. But after hearing that I feel like my brother should never play with this kid again. He will grow up to be a rapist, serial killer or something and he'll say something like they asked for it or enjoyed it. He's very twisted in the head. Of course his parents did nothing and I'm upset because I had to deal with a kid like this when I was younger and it wasn't fun. I don't want my brother to go through that.

This kid also has a complex where he thinks everything is about him and if the world isn't revolving around him he's upset. Honestly if I see him push, kick, slap or touch another kid I'm not sure that I'll be able to keep my hands off of him. I feel like one good slap would stop him in his tracks and I know it's not right but I remember how I felt when I was treated like that and couldn't do anything about it and I'm dying to just teach him one good lesson. I know I'm not the parent but my parents I don't think really understand how this all works.

If you mentioned this and I missed it then my bad, but why don’t you talk to the kids parent? Or someone at the school like the principal or a teacher? I hate to hear what your little brother is going through but both of these kids are exactly that — kids. This isn’t high school or even middle school, the bully is nine years old, not even in the double digits, that is a baby. Erase that desire you slap him in the face because you would face big consequences.

i didn't see the age of the poster, so its possible the the consequences would be minor. I've been the bullied kid and when you tell the teacher they MAY get verbally reprimanded, but the child's parents are complicit in his actions since they have apparently been made aware and are coddling their child.

Well, we know the poster is between 18-24, and we know the bully is 9, so as a legal adult if she opted to assault that child the consequences may not be minor. Trust my I get what’s going on, bullying isn’t fun for everyone and I think majority of us have experienced it. But she mentioned elsewhere that her brother doesn’t have it in him to stand up for himself, and ultimately I believe that would be what needs to take place if the other options aren’t working. But not her getting physical with the 9 year old and that’s my point here.

You do not want to end up in jail or some circumstances that would not be good. Record your interactions. If you know the parents and your brother has said "do not touch me" then that is close to assault... real close. Advanced bullies rarely understand social cues... sociopath in nature. Loud and aggressive lacking empathy, remorse, guilt, shame etc...

Talk to parents first step both in written and face-face. Certified receipt in mailing. Make sense?

Good for you good for you your sister your parents your family

I understand when you say if he hits another child you don't know if you could keep your hands off with him well that's what you have to do because he's learning this from someplace either it's happening to him at home this is the way his parents treat him when they're not trying to be whoever they are at school but you have to look deep into the kids' eyes and understand where he's coming from he will tell you things without you even asking him I can't tell you what to do or who to be but if it was me the next time that I seen the kid I would invite him into play let him know that he's wanted now let him know that you accept him again because I don't think he's getting that at home I think he's just getting shot down shot down and pushed around maybe I don't know something to think about and I know you're not family I know you're not the parent or anybody like that but somebody has to be a key factor in his life kids are little sponges they will become they will do anything that you want because they want to please enforce what you said but at the same time allow him to feel appreciated allow him to feel loved it might just change his life

I don;t like bullies. My son was picked on at the bus stop. I told him id he did it again let him get on the bus before you and when you get on walk past him and jam your elbow into his ear. It will hurt like hell and won't leave a mark. I watched him out the window and when this older kid started picking on my son he took the kids schoolbooks and threw them out in the street, Papers went flying everywhere. My son was never bothered by this kid again.

I empathize with the posters feelings and would encourage them to reach out to authorities and the child's parents once each. After that, if you are under 16, then do what you feel like you need to to protect your siblings. If you're over 16 then keep your siblings separate from him.

Call the police and report it as an assault. Any unwanted touch is an assault.. Police are lazy and won't do anything at first but if every time it happens if you keep calling, it is more work coming out and making a report than not doing anything so they will talk and warn the boy and his parents.

Clap really loudly next to his ear it feels like getting slapped but doesn’t leave a mark😎

Try teaching your little brother to stand up for himself.

[myTake Owner]

I've been taking him self defense from my classes but that kid blames everyone for his actions if someone hits him back. Which is what happened with the 3 year old he kept kicking in the stomach

[Jamie05rhs]

I completely understand. I'm on your side.

[myTake Owner]

omg thank you for understanding

[Jamie05rhs]
