Don't Tolerate Bullying

I’m Just Say’n

 

 

Dear Carolyn,

My 10-year-old son is being bullied at school, and I’m not sure how to handle it. I know it’s all the rage to go to the teachers and demand the bullying be stopped. However, I don’t know if I really believe that teachers or principals can control the meanness of kids. When I was a boy, I was teased for being overweight and wearing glasses. My son is teased because he has a learning disability. I feel helpless because I’m on the road most of the time and my wife is too shy to be assertive with the school.

What do you think I should do? He comes home crying almost every day. Now, they have taken to Facebook and Twitter to mock him. I’m at the end of my rope.
