Can anyone offer advice for my 6th grader grandson who is being verbally bullied? He slapped a boy and both & the other boy both got suspended today, but he is getting discouraged at being mocked. He & his new friend Chris are both newcomers to the school; it's a "magnet" school and he was so excited to have been accepted there because of all the fighting at his old school. What a disappointment that he's becoming a "target". For the record, he does have long hair, and although he is over 1/4 Mexican and Native American, he is also being targeted for being "white" - like he tries telling the kids, it shouldn't matter
