		Join in this discussion on our Message Boards about a bus stop bully: "My 11-year-old son is getting bullied at the bus stop by a 13-yr-old. He does things to humiliate my son, like come up behind him and steal his backpack or verbally harass him in front of the other kids. My son doesn't want to make things worse, so he tries to ignore it, but I know it is getting to him. He says he doesn't want us (his parents) to get involved, but I don't think he can resolve this on his own. Any suggestions?" — nickerjack
