[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is tricky. And I'm also suprised your daughter is 17 - this sounds like 13/14 year old behavior.

Was the letter in any way threatening to your daughter? Did it talk about school behavior specifically?

Considering your daughter is 17, and if she's a confident kid that can handle knowing someone doesn't like her enough to do this, I'd consider sharing it with both your daughter and the school admin.

I'd talk to my daughter about bullying/mean girl behavior, and ask her to think about if she's behaving this way to anyone - intentionally or not.

I'd consider responding to the email and pointing out that it's hard to act on this when it's present anonymously, since it takes both parties being involved to resolve this sort of thing. But in the end, I don't think I'd respond at all. [/quote]

OP here - the email was not at all threatening. It basically just said “I know X.  Over the past year, she has treated people horribly. She says untrue things to hurt people and once she decides she doesn’t like someone, she threatens anyone who talks to that person. She gossips about all her friends and she is hurting so many people. I think you should know this because your daughter is hurting so many people. You should know she is like this [b]because one day people aren’t going to put up with her behavior[/b].”

There is another paragraph with some more identifying information that I don’t want to share. The repetition of the “hurting so many people”and just the overall tone of the email seem like a teen texting (to me). [/quote]

OK, that’s a threat.I would involve the police to create a paper trail and a record in case this unstable person (teen or adult) escalates later.[/quote]
