  Case: Instigating student
I have a student who likes to instigate arguments with other students. He will bully other students, but then when the students retaliate he gets very upset and plays the victim. I'm not sure how to handle this situation because he doesn't seem to realize that he is bringing on the bullying.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You said that he might even know that he is doing it. Try something like recording or writing down what happens and ask him about in private. Ask him things like why did it start like this or why did go the way that it, he needs to know what he is doing is upsetting other and in turn upsetting himself. If he truly doesn't know why other are getting upset with him being able to tell him is a good starting point for a conversation.

Comments: I do not know that this would be useful because it may be perceived by the student or their parents that they are being targeted or called out.
