Your son Bobby, an eighth-grader, comes to you and tells you that he is afraid to go to school that day. He says that other kids have been picking on him every day since school started. At first, the kids limited their bullying to calling him names, like gay boy and homo, and pushing and tripping him a bit as he walked down the hallways.
