Not really. Safety first. If it's a group of boys and just her and her sister, you leave. Remove yourself. |
OR look around and get yourself in a place with more people around. Other adults. Have you not covered all this stuff with her OP. Walk through with her all the scenarios and what to do. She will get followed at some point, verbally harassed, etc. |
She can say it while she is leaving but really big deal she was called a name. |
What if they follow her? You all tell your daughters whatever you want. In my house, the instructions are do not escalate or engage when you are alone or in a pair and there are not other people close by or a safe place to get to quickly. |
+1 I think the daughter refused to let the boys play and they called her out on it. |
Just so I understand, a tween and a teen playing horse on half a court always have to give the court up so a group of 6 teen boys can play full court? Even if they have only been playing 15 minutes? I never grew up near community basketballs, so was unaware that teams trump individual play immediately. |

I don't think anyone said that. It could be they were playing on a half court and the boys wanted to shoot on the same basket. There are jerky kids, boys and girls, who don't want to share a basket or who have been hogging a basket for a long time and refuse to give a timeframe for giving it up. I've seen it. It's kind of rude.
I'm not saying OP's daughter was doing this but I think these multiple posts about tween/teen boys are getting tiresome and sound like fake troll posts. |

I love you! |
+1 very important not to escalate |
| At 14, you are doing her no favors by jumping in. What you do is after the fact you talk about that it was not acceptable behavior and give her options of how to react. Walking away is a valid option. So is standing up for herself. |
Victim blaming much? OP ignore this sub human |
OP conveniently doesn't go into the details; however, it seems highly likely that the boys asked to share the court. Yes, the daughter should have shared. She doesn't get to keep the court to herself. It is a community court. |
She isn't a victim if she started the fight.
