My son was bullied by a boy a year older than him. The teacher brought it to my attention along with my son. I spoke to the older boy's Mother and explained what was going on. After a week it still continued, now I got the principal involved. A meeting was called with both of us Moms, the teacher and the principal. Basically the principal let me have my say. Once I revealed what her son was doing in front of the school staff she was appalled. She finally had a talk with her son. He came and apologized to my son with me standing there. It took a couple weeks but they became friends. His bully eventually became his protector. He stood up for him anytime someone tried to give him a hard time. Now my son is older and stands up for himself. I couldn't be prouder. He even stood up to the kid that was bullying his best friend.
