Eric, Having watched my sister go through the bullying w/her son, I'm going to suggest that you not only schedule a meeting w/the counselor, but also request that the principle be in attendance. It will make more of an impact if you meet w/them in person. It is then up to the school to contact the parents of the child/children who are doing the bullying and get this nipped in the bud asap. It may come down to you and the parents meeting at the school to discuss the issue...but in my sister's case, the Principle took the matter in hand and got the problems resolved.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
