I was kind of thinking that you could teach your kid some ''Pulp Fiction'' moves... o hand him a gun. Ok what do I know you say? I'm seventeen, I'm still at the age of the bullies and the crap, and you're right about not letting him fix it by his own, even if he can, he should not, BUT, he can't keep taking anymore **** from the bully, so if the bully comes close to him again and do something dangerous to him, he has to react, really, he has to do something by himself to, hes not made to take **** on anyone, but it's good you teach him not to be violent, but tell him he has to defend himself, and if he does, and it turns against you, legal way is always the best, you have proof and witnesses (at least I think) that you tried to do it the easy cool way, you have everything on your side if there are proof you already tried to do something about it.

You might ask, what experience do I have? I was a target too, my parents tried the same thing you're trying, and, well, talking with them, didn't work, talking with the parents didn't either, going harsh with them didn't either, what happened, is that they god mad and wiped my ass... All of them, together, at the same time, and you know what I still think about them? Pussies... Of course I taught them a lesson, I was young, I was 8, and I wiped their asses, one by one, because I had to... And then I got screwed because the teacher went into the classroom. At the principal's office they were all ''just because they do it you have to do it too?'', I said ''hey Sherlock, take some **** and don't defend yourself, I'm tired of that crap and I'm out of here'' I left the office, no one did anything to me again. Even though that crap is common, we have to take care of it by our ways too, because schools are busy enough to not handle the situations (this meaning they don't give a crap, I know the system), and sometimes and most of the cases, talking with the kids and all that pacific stuff, pisses them off a lot more. So, it's good to see that school tried to took care of it, but, for what I know, it might not work, and if I'm right, your kid will have to take it on his own hands.
