[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]6th grade daughter comes home every day complaining about boys picking on her. 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 (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.

Also to be clear: 
Speaking up because her clothing or school supplies are being grabbed and thrown around or out the window IS NOT BEING A SNITCH.

It is saying that this behavior is unacceptable. Because it IS unacceptable.

Think about it this way. If these kids really have not learned that they shouldn't treat other people this way and that is okay to do this, they are going to end up in a whole heap of legal trouble within a few years.  Their careers will be ruined.  School is where kids learn how to behave with their peers in society.  If they don't stay on the right side of the line with keeping their hands to themselves, or not stealing people's stuff (especially a girl's), you are talking about kids who will try out groping girls  OR MUCH WORSE by 8th grade and in high school.
