I did a Google search for "Bullying" and found many informative websites. This one: http://www.bullying.co.uk/ looked good. It gives you advise on writing letters to the school,documenting all incidents, how parents can deal with bullying, and a forum for students and parents. Your friend may prefer to ignore the problem, but even if you just discussed the info with him, it may help. Cheers, and I don't think you're a scarlet woman with ulterior motives! (That would be me!) Nell
