I found it very suspect that she had no idea who any of the boys were, yet they go to her school.

Your daughter might not be telling the entire truth here.

Or troll thread is a troll thread.

Her middle school has almost 1,000 students in two grades. You may find it suspect, but that's your problem.

She was crying when she called to tell me. She is very upset, even though she reacted immediately and appropriately. I discussed it with her, how she felt about it, etc. I didn't ask for advice on how to deal with her. I'm confident in the discussions we've had today and prior.

I'd like to find a way to let his parents know. Will the principal contact them if it was off of school property?

I don't understand why everyone needs to rewrite the story to suit their own needs. The assumptions and accusations about my child and I are nuts. It says a lot more about you than it does about us.

I'm the OP. The above response is not mine.

^^ Not OP.

Op, please contact the principal and the counselor and document everything. I think you can ask to speak to the parents as well. This is not appropriate behavior.

Why are you so focused on talking to the boys' parents? Is that what your DD wants? Have you asked her?

I would pretty much guarantee that calling his parents -- or, worse, the school, or immensely worse, the cops -- will just humiliate your DD further.

The younger generation is bringing this back to the main stream. It would make the workplace a bit more easy going and fun.

You need to counsel your daughter better. This isn't something to cry about or even be very upset about. Of course SHE should go to the principal and YOU should stay out of it. She should be advocating for herself.

If your daughter was crying over something like this than you have done a poor job of raising a confident, resilient, empowered young women. Instead of focusing so much on this boy, you should be helping her to grow a backbone.

OP it sounds like you have already contacted the principle, what else would you like to see happen?

Empower her to stand up for herself and not play the role of a victim. Good grief, what the hell has happened to women in America to make them such fragile, wimpy, whiny creatures. You all make me ashamed to be a women. Truly, feminism is dead.

And how, pray tell, does a middle school girl stand up for herself to a boy who has slapped her ass and run away? Is not reporting the incident to the school one way of standing up for herself? Of sending a message that this will not be tolerated? All of the people saying "Empower her...." are not giving concrete suggestions as to how to do so. It's a nice catchphrase and all, but just words if there are no actions suggested.

Most 13 year old girls would be horrified for their mothers to go to the principal over something like this. Seriously, let your daughter show done maturity and stand up for herself. You know, your daughter may have been grabbing this kids ass and you could be opening up a can of worms that you wish had been left alone.

Or she or one of her friends might have mentioned a crush. The boy might have a crush. This was not out of the blue, these are also young forming minds.

Sexual assault? Rape? Are you people for real?

se smith is that you?

Would you like it if your coworker smacked your ass?

Well, I'm a SAHM, so my coworker is my DH. So yes, I would like it.

Also, since when do we hold adult behavior to the standard of middle school behavior?

All the time.

I'll be sure to tell her that her feelings aren't valid. That's what great parents do, right?
