Light in the end of a tunnel

Hi
I seem to keep wirhling around this "friend´s" theme a lot ;D Sorry! Ds8 has quite few nice friend´s at school, but afterschool-time there is only one who keep´s coming ;D I´ve wrote about him earlier, and wondered if a not-so-good friend is really better than no friend´s at all there are some others too, they are o´kay, but this one come´s almost everyday .

The friend is truly a bully , if not yet a full-educated but shurely going to that direction He want´s to deside what they do, simply bullies my son around

This far ds has just taken all that, being loyal, obidient .....BUT NOW, finally; he has talked to me about this friend, how he does not like to be bullied, not to be runned over every time, how aqward it feel´s for him to be with this boy....... WAU this seems to be going to a right direction, he has finally realized that he is no one´s doormat.

I know it´s a long way to go, but atleast now he realize´s this himself. It´s not much, but it still make´s me glad

That is a huge step & shows that he is growing up & learning from your examples. He will be ready soon to decide for himself that this bully is NO friend.
Great Job

You have a strong little boy there Marja...You are doing an outstanding job.

He will have many many friends as he gets older and it really sounds like he will continue to make good choices.

I feel sorry for your little boy being bullied. I, unfortunately, have the other end. My DD6 likes to bully the kids she plays with. With some she gets by with it. Others don't take it. I have tried to explain to her that she can't bully kids into doing what she wants, but she doesn't seem to care. I guess it will take another child not wanting to play with her anymore to make her stop. Maybe I'm just dreaming there. I can hope though.

Let us know what happens. Maybe something might help DD and I.

Yes, it´s great. This far I´ve felt so powerless, it meen´s nothing if I tell him "you shouldn´t be treated this way". He really HAS TO understand it by himself, and now it seem´s to start

I wondered if I´ve been too hard for him but I think that only one who can protect him from other´s is he! and he has to learn it ASAP.

I´am sorry for you, I bet it feel´s even worse that way. In my case, ds can turn to those other´s, but your dd doesn´t have that change. i have no good adwise´s, sorry

Thank you!
