[quote=Anonymous]Be very careful about accepting this as "bullying". This has become the go-to word for kids to get their parents' attention, and parents to get the school's attention, and very often it is used in situations where there really isn't bullying. Girls can be mean. I don't know any girl who has emerged from the tween years without experiencing this. The school should know but that doesn't mean you should tell them what to do about it. Tell her teacher what she told you (understanding that the situation may be more complicated than you know) and then butt out and let them handle it. My DD experienced this and eventually the other girl settled down, stopped behaving in that manner, and they become friendly. I had to teach my daughter to ignore her, which was the most important thing. Its an important skill, to learn how to walk away.[/quote]
