I think in second grade I had a kid on the bus who would call me names and he punched me hard in the guts too. I just kind of ignored it. Only time I saw him was on the bus and I was the last one on and first one off. So whatever it was like ten minutes a day. He was two or three years older than me and clearly had a rough means of living. Though not as if mine was great either. The difference between an eight year old and ten or 11 year old is obviously a lot. I wasn't small or anything. In fact, I was quite athletic. Usually the first or second kid picked at recess for football.
Anyways, we all grow up and he had gym the same time as I did. Not the same teacher, but the same class. One day in the locker room I ran into him. We recognized each other. He starts chatting it up with me and acting like an old friend. I was timid (still am) so I just let him do the talking and all that crap. Irony here, I could of snapped this kid in half and he was well aware of that. You know, I'm not that intimating either. I'm tall and thin, but this guy was short, but also skin and bones. Just seeing him cower as he talked to me made my day.
I'm not a parent and my parents while pissed didn't make a big deal out of it because I told them not too. So the perspective I can provide you is it sucks now, but maybe your kid will have a little moment like I had in the future, which I guarantee will make him feel a lot better. So you never know what the future holds.
