[quote=Anonymous]Is there a school counselor you could request she meet with? Or a private counselor / therapist you could pay for?

My DD is the recipient of some mean girl behavior. This year (3rd) it’s more the typical “you can’t play with us today” type stuff - not good but not as bad. In first she was bullied. I’ve posted this before but a girl and two of DD’s former friends pretended they were slicing the throat on a stuffed animal - DD’s favorite animal - and said “that’s you”. They pushed her against a wall, hit and kicked her, and took her shoes and put them in a trash can.

Recently (2 years later) she told a friend who told another friend who told their mom who told me… that these girls pressured her to take her clothes off and said they’d say mean things about her if didn’t do that. She said she didn’t and ran away, but I had no idea that was happening! I was already shocked by the other behavior.

The principle was new and kind of overwhelmed and non responsive and the teacher was trying her best. Eventually I made a series of demands including that both the ring leader and my daughter have meetings with the school counselor. (Obviously separately)

I don’t know how it went for the other girl (who strangely was kind when she was 1:1 like if we ran into her on a weekend and who still seems kind 1:1, so knows how to behave toward my DD sometimes - though I try to avoid running into them or interacting) but my DD really loved it. She liked the other student she was paired with, liked the counselors approach, etc. This year we actually asked if she could get more help / social coaching after our DD said she would like to talk with the counselor about some of the mean girls in her grade.

You don’t want things to escalate and the counselors have seen this before. I think they’d be a great resource. [/quote]
