The main reason a child is bullied is because he is different in some way whether it be because of a lisp or a disability or because they may have a well-known parent--there is a whole spectrum of differences. A good way to approach the situation would be to go to your child's class and make a presentation on whatever the difference is, just to help the class better understand what is happening. For example, in my grade school class, there was one girl who had eye surgery. Her dad came to class and talked a bit about it and then gave us all eye patches to wear if we wanted, just like his daughter. If anything, her disability was glorified by the experience. --from Ron
