My Son is being bullied in school. His classmates call him smelly Indian and keep teasing that if they switch of the lights, all they can see is his teeth. I tell him to laugh it off, but I can see he is hurting. What should I do?

It is a good sign that your son is talking to you about it. Praise your son that he is doing the right thing by telling you about it. It's important to advise kids not to respond to bullying by fighting or bullying back. It can quickly escalate into violence, trouble, and someone getting injured. Instead, it's best to walk away from the situation, hang out with others, and tell an adult. Advise your son to tell his teacher should it happen again.
