[quote=Anonymous]OP, this happened to me in seventh grade -- but halfway through the year, not at the beginning. Your poor DD!

I tried to put a happy face on it for my parents, just like your daughter is doing.

The best thing my parents ever did was pull me from that school at the end of the year -- despite my protests! So weird, looking back -- I guess I had Stockholm Syndrome or something, because I really didn't want to leave.

For ages I thought they had pulled me from that school because of finances (I moved from private to public). Only recently did I find out that they'd known what was going on (I guess teachers told them at conferences), and they pulled me to spare me the bullying.

I had a wonderful eighth grade year. Made tons of friends, some of which are still in my life.

I'm so grateful to them in retrospect. Nothing good comes of bullying, and although my experience with it was brief, it did haunt me for many years afterward, and probably shaped my behavior in ways I can't even trace.

In short, I strongly recommend that you REMOVE your daughter from the school. [/quote]
