[quote=Anonymous]This is NOT happening at school so your daughter does not need to take part and feed the drama.  If she feels that poorly, she should find another activity.  Join a different team etc.  The swimmer girl sounds particularly "brave" but if your daughter is not, why subject her to it??

My daughter had a somewhat similar situation but it was the COACH of the team that was the "bully" and constantly singling a few girls out for obnoxious treatment etc.  The coach had the nerve to turn her nonsense on me one day and the same day I saw one of her "targets" was the special needs student on the team (and my daughter got chewed out for consoling that girl when the coach was belittling her).  That was the final straw and my daughter quit the team.  Some of her friends did not "approve" of her choice but most of them learned to just accept that my daughter was not going to be part of that team and was going to pursue other interests.  What I can't believe is the parents who allow their girls to continue with this coach who is such a negative role model.[/quote]
