[quote=Anonymous]I had a mom schedule a meeting with me the other day, wanting to talk to me about something "in person".

She reported that her daughter had witnessed a bullying incident at school involving my daughter.  I tried to press her for details but she was fairly vague.  She only told me that there was a group of kids commenting to my daughter that she didn't talk much.  And that the way that my daughter responded led her to believe that this wasn't the first time this ever happened.  She said she knew my daughter had expressed to me that she wasn't too thrilled with school (which I shared with her), and that she thought I should know what happened.  As she was telling me the story, she literally started tearing up.  And inside, I was thinking, that's not even bullying!  I did ask some questions as to whether it was possible that her daughter misread the situation, but she explained further that the comments were said in a bullying tone.  And I didn't want to come off too dismissive, so I thanked her for sharing and then left.

When I got home, I talked to my daughter about it.  She literally had no idea what I was talking about.  No one had said anything like that to her.    She's usually fine with telling me about things about her day, and in fact complains to me about a lot of random stuff, so it was just really strange the way the other mom brought this up as such a big deal.

What is the deal?[/quote]
