Reply #10: It didn't continue and I survived

You addressed the other boy's father and in spite of his denials, he should now have some clue that this is going on. I don't know how comforting a thought this is but boys just have a whole weird pecking order thing that gets challenged constantly. There is a book that talks in depth about the world that boys live in and the dynamics of what they are confronting.... lemme google out a section of it...


Here. This is William Pollack - author of "Real Boys"

Dangerous bullying and our tolerance of it, argues Pollack, is a national disgrace. Every day over 160,000 children miss school because of fears – or acts – of bullying. In a recent CDC study, 81% of students admitted to bullying their classmates, while 75% of adolescents nationally admitted that they had been bullied during their teen years. The boys Pollack spoke with described school as a place where you cannot let your feelings show for fear of ending up humiliated, seriously injured or dead. In REAL BOYS’ VOICES, Pollack offers practical advice on how to deal with bullies, what to do if your child is a bully and what to tell your child if he is being bullied. Pollack also reveals how homophobia and boys’ insecurity about their sexuality is at the root of much of the painful teasing and bullying that boys so often endure.
