If you have been informed about alleged bullying of 7th grader

It’s easy to say mind your own business, but too many people think, “not my kid, not my problem.” Don’t be one of those people.

Send an email to a counselor sharing what you know. State you do not want our daughters name brought up.

I would encourage my kid to report and if she didn't I would. I heard my kid was being bullied through a very long and attenuated grapevine, and I could not believe all these adults knew it was happening and did nothing to protect my kid.

DD heard it from some other girls who say they heard it? This is a bad game of telephone.

You are going to call the counselor and say, "My daughter told me that someone told her that someone is being bullied?" Ok...but this is not at all credible. There is likely 1-2 counselors and hundreds of kids and they are buried up over their eyeballs in work. This will be a very low priority to investigate.

Yes, you tell the counselors. It’s up to them to sort it out.

Actually I don’t think it’s a low priority anymore. These are exactly the type of kids who end up committing suicide or worse.

EXACTLY. People think it's just kids being kids. Or "you don't have to include everyone." And that sh-- piles on and that is entirely the point over all the kindness and anti-bullying campaigns. That stuff piles on and then you get true mental health issues and kids being suicidal. And what's shocking is that these campaigns have been going on for decades now and you have ADULTS saying they'd turn a blind eye. Or it's NBD. How hard is it to alert the counselors and let them sort out what is and is not. I couldn't live with myself, personally, if I had the ability to help a child who is struggling and didnt'.

Ok, yes. Alert the counselor every time you hear from someone who heard from someone who heard someone who might have been being mean

Are you always obtuse? Mean ??? No. Bullying? Yes.

If youre going to make a snarky argument, at least work with the fact pattern at issue vs. one you made up.

OP has no idea is this is bullying vs mean vs rumor
