@Pixie Jane
Sorry been on vacation so I didn't see your text.
I was really shy so I didn't talk much. I was too focused on the martial class itself and learning the tecnhiques.I had like three friends. They were girls but they didn't fight back at all. Me either until too much pressure built up. Then I just started beating the guys left and right. lol Specially after an episode when I was 11 that had sexual undertones unfortunately. I'm from Portugal. And no...the supervisors don't care if the kids pratically kill each other in front of them. I've been to good schools so...imagine bad ones hahaha. Great teaching in class, but really bad in more personal caring for the kids psychological well being and stuff like that. Things are better now...but only after a kid in the North killed himself because of bullying and the case had national projection and the mother sued the school IP: Logged |

Well, I talked to my student's mom and she was surprised but thankful I brought it up to her. She informed the principal and they threatened to suspend the bullies. As of now, they have stopped bothering him. But time will tell if this is permanent. He seems happier and has been opening up a lot more to me. IP: Logged |

Glad to see its a happy ending  Tell the kid that he should try to confide in you if anything more happens. And make him feel confident that things will get better. Because IF the bullies keep targeting him, theyll probably try to bully him into keeping silent. IP: Logged |

That's wonderful. But I wonder why he didn't bring it up to her to begin with since she seems the type to be involved with her son's life and he told you so easily. Even parents who usually aren't that involved still ask about how school went, if they made friends, and things like that. IP: Logged |

Will do, bansheequeen. Good point.

My guess is that he told her before and she just brushed it off and thought it was normal for a boy to go through it. Like you said earlier, a "coming-of-age" or "necessary struggle" kind of thing. It may have been an eye opener to have a stranger mention it to her. IP: Logged |

That's possible It's teasing my mind but without being there I'll almost certainly never know. Another possibility is that you have a natural gift to get people to talk openly. Many people will hold a lot of themselves back until with the "right person" which isn't necessarily someone vetted (even in this case they may hide themselves or even be more careful about what they express) but just someone who makes them comfortable. These are usually easygoing people that you strike me as being like, an energy that I suppose normally reticent people open up as they don't feel like they're going to be criticized or judged (even when that's not the case, they feel it anyway). That would also help to explain why you're something of an "exception" to your friend. IP: Logged |

You know, Pixiejane, other people have told me that before - that they feel safe opening up to me. I wonder if it's astrology related? Odette, I'm happy too! Thanks for keeping tabs on this. IP: Logged |

We never know what goes on inside the home when nobody's watching. My parents looked very involved as well, but I had a terrible childhood. Maybe the kid felt better confiding in a male figure instead of the mother, as well Anyway, what matters is that the kid is ok. I'm very happy for everyone.

His parents are divorced, both remarried. He lives with his mom. I used to teach his half brother. It's funny, he wants to start dressing like me and grow his hair out! IP: Logged |
