Theresa Nichol is one mother who willingly says her son is a bully and needs help.

"We get weekly phone calls about my son and I don't know what to do anymore," says Nichol.

She says the 13-year-old is getting aggressive at school and has been suspended twice.

Nichol says her son needs constant supervision in the classroom. Extra help was added for a few weeks, but Nichol says it wasn't long enough.

"A wide range of appropriate board and school resources are being accessed with the parent's knowledge and input to support the child, classroom and school," wrote Ottawa's Catholic School Board in a statement to CTV Ottawa.

Nichol alleges the help has gone down. She made it clear to CTV that she doesn't want to wait until he hurts somebody and is scared she will lose him to a juvenile delinquent facility.

Some studies suggest bullies are five times more likely to have a criminal record when they grow up.

Nichols is trying to get her son into a specialized school but says it's expensive.

She is worried things are about to get a lot worse.
