<p>My 7 year old son has had problems with bullying since preschool pretty much. One particular boy who is an age grade behind and I believe he has some sort of developmental disorder. Starting in kindergarten my son would come home upset because someone spoke to him rudely or someone pushed him. I was in constant communication with the teacher about it. He's never ben one to get invited to a lot of birthday parties or playdates, and I don't fit in with most of the moms here so ds would have a friend come over once every couple of months. Grade 1 was about the same, maybe a little bit worse. He had friends in his class so that was great. Still got bullied by the same boy, but I was in contact with the school and things would get better, then it would happen again and I would have to go speak to the teacher, etc.</p>

<p>So this year, things have changed. DS is in a class with NONE of his friends. And of course the boy who bullies him is in his class. Argh. DS came home from school within the first week with a pencil lead embedded in his hand. Brought that up to the teacher. DS has came home from school in tears because of how he is treated. A few weeks ago he came home crying because all day the kids referred to him as "fatty". When I talk to the teacher she says that she is never told about these problems, that ds doesn't tell her. I ask ds and ds says he does tell her, but they don't stop. So the past few days it's been a BATTLE trying to get ds up and ready for the morning. He does NOT want to go to school. Hates school. Hates how miserable his day is by having to go. Says he goes and he just gets picked on and has to play by himself at recess or lunch. A couple of weeks ago he got beat up by our neighbors girls (one of the girls is a early teen and has been begging me to let her babysit!!!). I've got to the point where I tell DS to punch/push/hit someone back. If someone hits you and they won't stop, punch them back. It's sad...but he has to defend himself.</p>

<p>He'll come home from school and he has no desire to do anything. He doesn't want to play, doesn't want to go outside, sometimes he just wants to lay up in his bed. It makes me so sad. I almost feel really guilty because I am a bit anti-social and I think that because I don't make an effort to be-friend these other moms that my children suffer because of it. It sucks. </p>
