Just more private school babies.

Well, did your daughter call someone "a disabled person" or not?

I think administration has an obligation to investigate reports of bullying and abuse.

I literally can't make heads or tails of what happened to your daughter - was she pulled out of class by the administration?

Go through her social media and show her how to block people and encourage her to do so.

If the school calls you I'd probably tell them what's going on and ask them not to call again under these circumstances.

this is not normal in my view and has to stop. i’m not saying my kid is innocent, i’m sure she has done things to annoy the other girls but these kids are in 8yh grade and it’s just disgusting the admin is fueling such they said drama without proof. i’m sick of hearing the complaining and it taking over her life and feel i just need to say something to the administration because she won’t. PS the run to the administration girl is changing schools next year so really it’s just 2 more months but i feel the administration needs to address the toxicity of the class

I could have written this myself. We are at a tiny private school. Can't wait until graduation.

OP, the way you write makes you sound like you haven't left 8th grade yourself.

Land the helicopter. Let your kid learn life's lessons.

Our 8th grade has hundreds of kids ~ this wouldn't be a problem

They have both been called really mean names, mocked for their physical features and excluded/ignored by former friends. All for seemingly no reason! I have had these kids over to my house, driven them places, bought them nice gifts, but sorry they are little b's. In some cases the moms seem nice but oblivious. I tried once to let moms know. They asked their daughters dud this happen, and of course the little b's denied it. Can't win!

Hoping hs is better.

HS is not better

HS way better for me. Found new friends.
