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!) A good way to begin going about this process would be to talk to the student and make them aware of their behaviors, based on what you have observed. Talking to the guidance counselor at your school would also be good because they are full of information that can help you create a lesson about bullying and how to be nice to others. You could also have the guidance counselor come in and talk to the class about this situation. It isn't great that this student is instigating the problem, but if the students are responding in a negative way, that isn't good either.
