[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: 13:58, you have no idea how many I have done that in my head. If I were dd, I would have kicked this kid @ss a long time ago. dd is the opposite, she's non confrontational and believe ignoring is the best strategy. 13:31, [b]I did not talk to the principal. [/b]I don't expect anything life changing will happen from talking to her either. Another boy is being bullied by the same girl the whole year. Other than calling the girl into her office to have a chat, I don't see anything changing.[/quote] Bullying is a serious issue and you should of course raise it with the principal if the teacher hasn't been able to handle it. It's not a matter of just giving them a talk. There should be follow up. Your DD should be involved. You need to start by finding out the protocol at your school. Is there a guidance teacher? You should insist on a follow up meeting with the principal, etc. Try and think rationally.[/quote] +1 and also to the PP who said to document IN WRITING and send letters to the principal and superintendent. Don't confront the kid, however well-meaning you are, if you don't already know the family. Jerky kids do often learn this behavior at home and you don't want some psycho mom approaching your DD. Keep the kids themselves out of it. And stay calm -- this is for your benefit and your child's. If the girls are 8-9, then I'm assuming they have at least another year together. Don't wait on this. Be the squeaky wheel now, in hopes that it will be addressed and everything can cool down over the summer. Sure, this girl might move on to another target in the fall, but she might not. It doesn't matter what happened with the other bullied kid -- you need to take your own action on your child's behalf. [/quote] I agree with all of this, but at the same time, since you think this won't do anything, I suggest you get your dd, the other boy that's being bullied, and a few other friends together and come up with a buddy/friend system. Have a plan that when the bully starts in on your dd or the boy - that all the friends, gather around and tell the bully to back off. that she's being mean and they ALL won't stand for it. They need to have 4 or 5 people together and they need to stick up for each other. It's the only way the bully will back off.[/quote]
