Sad story.

My son is 14 years old, 6' 2" 225lbs, knows tae kwon do (blue belt)and has wrestled for years. I'm not worried about anyone picking on him. He is pretty mild mannered now and I dont worry about him being a bully either though.

I do see bullies in his class however and it angers me that the parents of these kids turn a blind eye. Not so much physical bullies, but verbal abuse is very common. The schools in our area have a no bully pocilcy but it doesnt help at all. It has to be taught by the parents and they dont do that.
