[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]6th grade daughter comes home every day complaining about boys picking on her. [b]They play keep-away with her sweatshirt. They make fun of her appearance. Last week one snatched a pencil from her and threw it out the window and today a different one mocked her for getting upset about it [/b](she's a cryer - we're working on resilience.)

It doesn't seem practical to complain to a teacher for any individual incident. How do you address this kind of thing and not get branded a snitch? Not that I have a problem with snitching in principle, but it's not a life skill, you know?

Thanks for sharing experiences.

Walk away from them playing keep away.  She can come home and tell you who took it.  Walk away from the rest too.  A pencil?

BUT.  Her reaction is what can happen when things go too far.  This has gone on too long.  Talk to the school, those boys need to leave her alone.

Then get her some help with her self confidence.
