    Bullying: What to do? :/

    *I'm not the one being bullied, and I don't need help telling on anyone. :p

    So, there's this 8th grader on my bus and he has ADHD + Autism. Everyone has been bullying him since this semester started and he and his brother started riding the bus (last Monday). It completely pisses me off, even my friends bully him. I tell people to shut the fuck up every day and always try to help the kid out, but clearly it's of no use. The boy doesn't seem to be entirely negatively affected by that, but it sounds as though he has no friends - even his brother bitches at him on the bus. If the boy has no friends, maybe inside he is truly hurt. So, yeah, I've been attempting to be the boy's friend to the best of my ability and I defend him whenever I can.

    Should I just stay out of it? Tell someone? He goes to the middle school & I go to the high school, so would I tell my school's administration? His? Plus, the bus driver doesn't do anything and I've told him before. He just says: "tell them to quiet down."

    I'm probably out of place, and this seems stupid, but bullying is my biggest annoyance. It makes me furious. I'm honestly stumped with what to do.

    Just tell your school what the problem is and how bad it is and I am sure they will pass it on to his school.

    People can look pretty fine on the outside when being bullied or teased, but it does a lot inside. Maybe because of the problems he suffers with he doesn't quite realise what's going on.

    I'd suggest telling his parents, if you can. That way, if they're unhappy they can always arrange alternative transport to and from school. The school are probably aware of what's going on, but it wouldn't hurt to alert them to the situation as well (his school).

    I'd try talking with him too, if it doesn't bother you what your friends think. Make conversation with him and what not and he may feel a little better.

    I would first talk to the kid about everything and ask him what he wants you to do. Talking with his parents could maybe work or telling his school's administration. No point in telling your school, since he doesn't go there and they can't do anything about it.

    Don't ever stop helping him, this is 8th grade right? So probably 5 ore yeas dealing with immature douchebags.

    Try talking to him, so he knows he has someone to helping him. Everyone needs a friend. And i absolutely believe he is hurt inside.

    I think what you're doing is really nice and not many people would do what you're doing. I would infact somehow contact administration anonymously. It's really nice that you are trying to be his friend/defend him. He may not show it but im sure he greatly appreciates it.

    Personally, I'd use violence on some-one for doing that, that way other kids will think about it, I personally know from my mates experience he HATED people talking to him about it cause he was embarrassed, maybe secretly get it sorted and be his mate.

    If no one will do anything about it then i say stand up for the kid. Just punch who ever is being the bully right in the jaw he will wonder why you did it and in reality he will already know why. You will get suspended/kicked off the bus but you have a good story to go by on why you did it.

    I also agree with the others on talking to the parents, but if his brother does it also who know if the parents do the same. I'd talk to his school principal or their counselor about the whole thing. If you don't want to take aggressive actions.

    I'm against bullying myself, I was never bullied until like 10th grade rolled around i started to be and that didn't last very long maybe a few months cause i stood up for myself and took aggressive action. I was never bullied again. But then again i did a lot of boxing back in the day that people at school didn't know about. Now days I'm sure none of those guys would think twice of doing it again.

    Tell the principal at his school or a teacher of his, they will do something for sure.

    Firstly, props to you for stepping in and helping the kid out. It's sad to know that his own brother joins in and gives him a hard time too .. that's not what a brother should do.

    There's three things you can do in my opinion ...

    1) Stay out of it, and just keep yourself to yourself.

    2) Tell your school the issue and see that they get it sorted.

    3) Next time he is being picked on, step in and unleash yourself onto the low life's that are giving him the dirt. Sounds a bit hero and cliche, and depends what type of person you are - but I've seen it before, it could very well work.

    Whatever you decide to do I hope it works, and I hope that the kid stops getting picked on - no innocent person should be put in that situation.
