My 12 year old son told me about this kid that is an easy target for bullys. He sits with my son and his friends for lunch but they don't talk much. They all constantly tease each other in a somewhat crude manner, but that's they way they communicate with each other and nobody takes it seriously, except this boy who started crying when they teased him (just like they tease each other in an attempt to draw this boy in) anyway, this boy started crying and said: you will all be sorry, I will bring a gun aand shoot you all. Now I do not want to blow this out of proportion and I am glad, that my son (at this age...) trusts me enough to talk to me, but I am really wondering what (if anything) I should do about it. Any input would be greatly appreciated!! Sorry about the long post....
Alert the school administration ASAP This other boy has some serious issues that need to be addressed whether he would actually do that or not. I have a godson who severly delayed in his social development and his mother has decided to homeschool him rather than have him upset by the teasing all the time; he also goes to a psychiatrist once a month, and a therapist once a week. Don't wait until school is out today; if you read this post you need to immediately call the school.
