How would one respond to bullying on Facebook? My son is getting nervous because a (former) friend is trying to goad him into a fight, for whatever reason I don't know.
My kid did respond with "I don't want to get into a fight, but yadda yadda shut up," which was probably an unwise decision.
My son thinks the guy and his friends will gang up on him on the way home from school when it starts this fall. He isn't into drinking or drugs, but since this guy is, my son thinks he'll be violent. I told him just because someone smokes up doesn't make them violent (my aunt smokes MJ), but he isn't convinced. I told him the kid is probably just posturing, but again, he's picturing the worst scenario.
We live in a medium sized town north of Toronto with very little gang warfare, and my son goes to a Catholic high school. He's small for his age, and will be graduating this coming year. He has friends who are very nice, and the guy threatening him is known to us, we know his parents and my daughter knows the kid's older sister.
How does one diffuse such a situation, or is my kid just being paranoid?
