What would you feel and do if your child gets bullied in school? When I reached home yesterday, Deye was already fast asleep. I didn’t get to talk to her like the usual that we do before going to bed. This morning, while we were getting ready for school and work, she told me that her classmate poked her finger with her newly sharpened pencil. I was like “Whooooooo did that?” I freaked out upon knowing that it’s the same boy who had been bullying her since they were in Nursery. I asked her once again, seriously, if that really happened and she said yes, teary eyed. Then she showed me her finger and there was a cut, small but that’s not the issue. That boy is already getting physically violent.
I remember when they were still in Nursery. Deye told me that he punched her on her face, luckily she was not hit badly. I went to confront the teacher and asked her why and how the hell that happened when there were two teachers to look after 10 kids. Besides, it’s already known that, that boy is a bully. He had also done almost the same thing with some of their classmates. I went really mad and told their teacher that if they won’t pay attention to that boy closely, I’d be circulating a letter of petition to all the parents especially those he had been hurt by this boy already. I guess the teacher was horrified by what I said and am glad he mellowed down that’s why I was shocked to know that he did it to my daughter again yesterday. I told my mom to talk to her teacher, otherwise, I’ll talk to his parents.
Sometimes I feel that her being the only girl in their class is sometimes not helpful. Knowing Deye, she won’t do anything. She’d just cry and keep quiet. That’s the reason why Derrick & I told her “If they do bad to you, fight back. Always remember, never start a fight but be brave to finish it!”

I am happy to share my adventures as I walk through motherhood and have to do most things on my own while my husband works miles away from us. Turning my passion into a profitable venture is another thing.
Authoring and managing this personal blog developed my social media awareness over the years.
From being an ex-OFW to doing what I am good at in the comfort of my own home – while taking good care of my 3 wonderful kids, I hope that people see me as a great inspiration when it comes to pursuing my passion and turning it into a profitable venture.
A giant leap like this is such a challenging journey but indeed is rewarding. A few bumps along this whole journey did not stop me from being the best version of myself.
go,go,go Mama! some parents need to be reminded to discipline their kids or else……..
Or else, we will… Hmp!
that happened to my son few times because he was fresh from a private school and speaks in english as was the requirement of the private school, the bully would steal my son’s lunch box and eat his food and hid the lunch box to be found a day later. i went to the teacher and asked her calmly if she can do something about it. the first week was fine, but after that the bully was at it again, i directly went to the principal and said the same thing, that i would circulate a letter of petition too, i guess the school principal doesn’t want any trouble, the bully was taken to a different section and didn’t bother my son anymore. with me and my ex, we would tell my son not to come home crying and never to stir trouble but if he needs to punch and kick he can do so.
Bullying is never easy to deal with, especially when your own child is involved.. Thank you for these tips, they’re really helpful for when it is one of your own dealing with such hardship.
