[quote=Anonymous]OP again.  I think some of you are reacting to the headline of my post, and not the content of what I've said.  Let me be clear - I support my daughter, and the boy was clearly wrong for trying to kiss her against her will.  She was right to react instinctually.  I don't usually condone violence and I wish there was another way, but I sure don't think she was in the wrong here.

I do appreciate the suggestion that I reinforce that message by signing her up for a self defense course.  That's a great idea.  She and I talked about it, and we've signed her up for a weekend course in November.  She had actually done a course through the school a year ago, but I'm happy for her to do something more in depth and empowering now.  That's a great way to channel some of this energy and make sure she has an outlet to reinforce her strength and get more positive support.

I'm still not sure about whether to approach the school or not.  I think I want to empower her to continue to chart her own course, rather than intervene in a mommy knows best kind of way.  But we'll see how these next few days go.

Thanks again for your input and support.  [/quote]
