. I think you are the same poster who was upset over kids arguing on a bus or kids ringing the bell
. It seems to be that your kids deal with complicated situations in mature and healthy way. They are handling it.
It seems that you are more upset than them about whatever happens with them on daily basis ( I can relate as a mother wanting to protect my child, it's normal). But I think unless your kids report being bullied and harassed you don't have to interfere in whatever little things happens every day. They seem to deal with it in a productive way

Perhaps I am a bit more sensitive to the daily ups and downs of my kids social interactions than some other parents would be. I have to admit, it's probably because I was bullied severely by a boy who was much older than me who lived on my street. I spent days ignoring him, then one day he upped the anty and crossed the line by threatening to rape me after I got off the bus. I've never been so scared in my life. My mom confronted him on our front lawn and screamed at him to leave me alone. Even in spite of that his evil harrassment continued. My parents should have turned him into the police. I am very fearful for my daughters and overly sensitive to any mean comment that comes their way because of that incident in my childhood. I turn to this site for guidance as I feel the advice I receive here is very good and quite frankly, the people on this site have done a great job in talking me off the ledge when I'm ready to lash out at someone who poses a threat against my children. Maybe people get tired of seeing my posts, but I never get tired of the advice I receive and it has helped me in many, many ways.
