[quote=Anonymous]OP, you need to go to your daughter's guidance counselor at school and clue them in.  Your daughter will not be able to handle the bully alone and the schools are used to dealing with the behavior.

You should purchase 2 books to help with the bullying:  [i]Queen Bees Wannabes [/i]and [i]Odd Girl Out[/i].  There also are 2 other books that are good for you to help your daughter through the many stages of her tween and teen life:  [i]Reviving Ophelia [/i]and [i]Untangled[/i].

There have been a lot of threads on multiple forums for this topic.  I don't think there is any one answer except that it involves the help of adults.  Relational aggression is a behavior that is learned at home.  Your daughter will not be able to change this other girl because she learned the behavior at home.  Your daughter needs the help of caring and competent adults in the places where this is occurring (school, sports) to help her.  Even though this bullying is occurring on social media, so technically not at school, the school will want to be involved.

Good luck and best wishes.  You're doing the right thing by being proactive and trying to nip this thing in the bud so that it doesn't spread.  In fact, that's why the school will want to get involved.  Because is like poisen ivy and once it starts it can be pretty difficult to eradicate so they want to stop it in its tracks now.[/quote]
