Need some advice, please!

My kid is in second grade, and he came home from school way earlier than usual today. At first, he claimed his stomach was hurting, but then he changed his story—said it wasn't his stomach, but his leg, because he tripped in the playground. Then, just when I thought we had it figured out, he switches it again, saying he didn't even fall at school, he just hurt himself playing soccer yesterday...
He finally admitted the truth: none of that was real. He just couldn't handle being in class because he's terrified of the kid sitting next to him.😢
Allegedly, this little guy acts like the boss of the classroom. He constantly picks on my son, and the other kids usually jump right in to join the teasing. There hasn't been any actual physical fighting yet, but if my son doesn't do things exactly how this kid wants them done, he gets threatened with being hit and all that kind of stuff...
What do you think is the smartest move here? I'm really worried about him.😢
...my kid is also in second grade...
haven't dealt with anything like this yet...
but honestly, going to the principal probably won't change much...
best bet is for him to figure it out on his own... generally speaking...
we coddle our kids way too much...
they need to toughen up a bit and learn
how to stand up for themselves.
It'll serve them well later in life.
