Over a nice Strawberry Sundae, he told me how he is bullied by the other kids in the society that he lives in. They pick on him over his size ( he got a very good built for his age), they gang up against him everytime and they beat the $h!t out of him. The mother tried to talk to the parents of these kids but the parents are very indifferent about this issue. This kid has stopped going out and play with other kids. His confidence has been tempered.

What do you suggest the parents to do? what kind of counselling should be done to the kid? Is retaliation a solution? Should the parents send the kid for some self defense classes???
