Bully problem?

my son is almost 11 and we think that he might being bullied at school, he has come home with some bruises and a scratch on his face but when we ask him about it he told us that he think he tripped in the bathroom or he said my friend acciddently pushed me or something like that.we think he is being bullied but he won't tell us, he has always honest with us in a tough situation but this is the first time in his life that is he in this situation.and i don't know where to begin to discuss with him.he gets along with everyone in his class and if something arises his teacher emails us about it.

Answer:
i asked a bully and he said... teach him how to fight
I'm sorry man, I'll leave the kid alone.
if u think ur son is being bullied then u should try talking to him about it. maybe he really did trip in the bathroom or watever. u could try asking some of his frends. but i dont really know. hope i helped.
He may just be playing rough with his friends but it sounds kind of like he is being bullied. Sit him down and ask him..say you won't go to school and say anything..because that is the main reason people don't say.. it's embarrassing.
Go to the school...talk to the teacher and the principal.
This should not be going on. Make sure someone is looking out for him at schoo. Invite friends over for him, talk to his friends, get to the bottom of it. Sounds like he is too scared to tell you. Don' t let him know your going to do your own investigating. Then once you know for sure, you can work it out with him. on how you and your son will handle the situation.
The teachers should be made aware of your concerns!!
Good Luck to you and your Son...He doesn't derseve that, he needs your help!!
every parents nightmare, you gotta get it out of him and stomp that problem in its tracks with the school, my kids are the same way, they'll talk, just sometimes it takes a little more persuasion tell them why your concerned, our schools here will not tolerate bullies,but they have to know about it to fix it, go to the counselor and principle, got to have communication, good luck
Real common. See the principal and press the issue before it is too late.
I would suggest talking further with your teacher and explain the situation to her so that she can keep an extra special eye out for the culprit. Me son is also Eleven. We have taught him to respect others but not to let others push him around. We have taught him fighting is no good but to defend himself non the less if someone picks on him. We came across a similar situation with our son. Scratches, bruises and lame excuses as to why. We finally found out after some careful prodding (Be gentle) that the bully was not a Boy but a girl. She liked him and this was her way of showing it. I think he liked her too because he kind of stuck up for her. Each child is different and God knows there are enough bully's out there to pick on our children. I hope this helps and Good luck.
this happened to my first daughter. She was being bullied by some boy. I was taught that boys or men that hit, bully, or abuse women are cowards. I told my daughter that when he comes to you the next time to make the tightest fist she could, reach back into her mothers womb, and punch him in his eye. Her mom found out and she told me that the boy and his parents have family problems. I told her that they could have all the problems in the world, but they have no right to take it out on our daughter. In psychology, when one takes their anger out on something other than what caused it is called displaced aggression. I don't tolerate that from others and teach my children not to either.
Tell your son to go to the boy and ask him to leave him alone because he is not there to fight, but to learn. Perhaps your son projects himself as being weak, and we know what happens to the weak. Talk to the boys parents, and hopefully that will solve the problem. It didn't work for me, and my daughter ended up giving he bully a black eye and he doesn't bother her anymore. But that was years ago.
May be your son is being bullied by a gang so don;t ask him to fight back, these days you never know what will happen. Just ask few of his friends and go talk to the teacher or principal. Act before its late.
Make up fake a fake story that you were also getting bullied and get him to share his feelings, and have an open talk with you. Tell the teachers, or put a tape recorder in his backpack or somewhere he would not notice and you will find out all about his characteristics and problems. Try to tell teachers if you can't do and tell them to keep an eye for that or make your son stand up, and not let be weak, or do something for a day see your son hiddenly, and when someone tries to bully him come and rescue him and scold the other kids.

Getting freed form a bully is one of the hardest thing in the world you know...
It's true that kids tend to hide theses things and from what my 14 yr. old tells me there's not a lot that can't be hidden from a teacher. I don't know how large of a school he attends, whether public or private. He may be afraid of being singled out even more by telling.I would alert his teachers,if you haven't already, and have them to keep a closer but silent eye. Also if you know of any of his friends or friends of yours with children his age who may be able to observe him during school, sometimes girls will be quicker to give up the answers and always ask for them to be discreet on the matter
my son is 12 with ADHD. He was getting bullied alot in school. I told him to stand up for his-self. A fight can go two ways. give a beaten, or take a beaten. If he stand up and fight they will leave him alone.It's alright to be scared for your child, but parents aren't going to be there all the time. Let him grow up.
Sounds like he really wants to deal with this himself. You might ask a teacher if they have noticed anything and to just keep a little more careful eye. I assume he's middle school so teachers don't watch things as carefully as in elementary school.

Otherwise, watch for cues from your son.
kids are not allowed to snitch on another child.you may need to go to the school and talk to him infront of the principal.once you get called a snitch,it's time to go to another school.
Set up an after school meeting with him, the teacher and yourselves to discuss the situation.
Does he have any "good" friends in his class? If so ask them on the QT if someone has been giving him a hard time OR if you don't want to mention your son, ask them if there is/are bullies in their grade or at the school.
Trust me! One of your son's friends or classmates Has a big mouth. You just have to find out Who the little gossip Is and ask that person. After that, THEY'LL do All the taking!

Good luck and Good hunting!
LISTEN TO ME. DON'T LISTEN TO ALL OF THESE, OOHHH BOO HOO TELL THE TEACHER. I'M SERIOUS. THE ONLY WAY AND I DO MEAN THE ONLY WAY TO DEAL WITH A BULLY IS FOR HIM TO STAND UP FOR HIMSELF. YOU NEED TO SHOW YOUR KID HOW TO DEFEND HIMSELF AND NO I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT KARATE AND ALL OF THAT BS. I MEAN STREET DEFENSE. TELL HIM WHEN THE BULLY COMES AROUND AND TRIES TO MESS WITH HIM TO PUNCH THE BULLY IN THE THROAT, WHEN THE BULLY PULLS BOTH HANDS UP TO HIS NECK AND IS GASPING FOR AIR KICK HIM IN THE NUTZ, WHEN HE FALLS DOWN GASPING AND CRYING KICK HIM IN THE FACE (REPEATEDLY). I CAN GUARANTEE YOU THIS BULLY WILL BE A BULLY NO LONGER.
