[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, this is not good behavior.  In sixth grade one of my best friends caved to peer pressure and made fun of me for being less developed than the other girls.  I was so sensitive about this and went home and cried to my mother because I was so embarrassed.  My mother called my friend's mother, and I was pissed at her for that.  I would have been REALLY pissed if she had confronted my friend directly.  This was nearly 25 years ago and I still remember it.

Was this mother out of line?  Oh sweet Jesus, yes.  100%.  Should you make a big deal out of it to the school?  No.  Do what that mother should have done if she felt it was an issue - talk to her.  Let her know that you are not comfortable with what she did and hear out her concerns.  You may think they are bullshit, but you may also learn something about your daughter.

The silver lining of what my mother did was that I do think it resulted in a conversation with my friend about bullying, and prevented her from doing it again (at least that I was aware of).  Trust me - my friend's mom was shocked and never thought her daughter would do what she did.  So, try not to overreact and instead be the one to step up and be an adult in this situation.[/quote]
